Ho Chi Minh City Full Day Tour

At 8.30am - Your tour guide and car will pick you up from your hotel and will start our tour of Ho Chi Minh City. 

You will get to know its history and culture by stopping at:

The Reunification Palace - on April 30th, 1975, what the Vietnamese refer to as the 'American War' officially ended when tank number 843 of the North Vietnamese Army crashed through the gates of what was, at the time, the residence of the President of the Republic of Vietnam War Remnants Museum - formerly known as the Museum of American War Crimes is a poignant display of the futility of war. Some of the black and white photography in the 'Requiem' exhibit is particularly touching and is dedicated to both foreign and Vietnamese journalists and photographers who perished during the conflict. 

Notre Dam Cathedral and General Post Office were built around 1877 and 1883 respectively. These two iconic buildings are fine examples of French colonial architecture. Remarkably every stone used in the building of the Notre Dame Cathedral was shipped from France to Vietnam. The Old Post Office is also the country's largest post office. 

The Opera House, after the lunch at local restaurant, we take you to see Chinatown and the Chinese market Binh Tay. 

We then move on to Thien Hau Pagoda, a temple entered through an iron gate and crossing a small courtyard. The roof is decorated with delicately fashioned porcelain figurines expressing themes from Chinese religion and legends. Lanterns and wooden models of Chinese theatres hang over the entrance. 

Our final stop before taking you back to your hotel is Ben Thanh Market, one of Vietnams largest markets and a real heartbeat of Ho Chi Minh culture.
