Wonderful exploration of iconic places in Ho Chi Minh with Vinh

5.00Such a great experience with a personalised tour with Vinh seeing the iconic and incredible city sites. We loved his passion for sharing the history and facts about Ho Chi Minh. He accommodate our and child's preferences with ease and we were able to take time one at a time at the war museum as it wasn't age appropriate to bring our child in without feeling rushed. Ho Chi Minh has a rich story behind the architecture, people and lives of the community that was great to learn.

5.00We highly recommend this tour as it hits all the highlights of what to see in the city and seems to spend about the right amount of time in each, except the time at the market could’ve been a little bit longer. The guide was quite capable, with good communication skills and knowledge of the history at each of the sites. Stops at - The Independence Palace, War Remnants Museum, Saigon Central Post Office, Ben Thanh Market and the Jade Emperor Pagoda.
4-hour Saigon City Highlights Tour - Top Marks

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00The “Small-group Saigon City Tour: 4-hour Must-see Iconic Landmarks” tour was a very enjoyable experience. This was due to my tour guide, Camellia, who was extremely personable, bubbly, knowledgeable and very friendly. Camellia provided lots of information and interesting history and facts about the city. I particularly liked the pre-tour communications received from Camellia via WhatsApp prior to the tour and the pickup at my hotel was seamless. The highlight of the tour was Camillia teaching me how to walk across the street confidently, even though cars and motorbikes were coming at me from all directions! A big thank you to our driver as well.
