Itinerary

  • The Independence Palace

    The Jeep will takes you to The Reunification Palace, also known as Independence Palace, is listed as a historical monument by witnessing great changes of Ho Chi Minh City’s history (formerly known Saigon) and having in itself the essence of Eastern culture. Throughout the heroic battles, this amazing work of architecture had witnessed almost every high and low of the Vietnamese war.

    45 minutes

  • Central Post Office

    Saigon Central Post Office was also built in the 1880s based on the design of Gustave Eiffel – a famous French architect.

    15 minutes

  • Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral

    Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon is a cathedral located in the downtown of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Established by French colonists who initially named it Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Saïgon, the cathedral was constructed between 1863 and 1880. It has two bell towers, reaching a height of 58 meters (190 feet).

    10 minutes

  • War Remnants Museum

    The War Remnants Museum was originally opened in September 1975, it displays old military equipment and other related items from the Vietnam War.  In the courtyard we will find some larger exhibits including a F5A fighter and a UH1-Huey helicopter

    45 minutes

  • Emperor Jade Pagoda

    Jade Emperor Pagoda is the 100-year-old pagoda built by Vietnam’s local Chinese Cantonese community. It was visited by former President Obama in 2016, and listed at the top of Ho Chi Minh attractions

    20 minutes

  • Former U.S. Embassy (Pass By)

    Although originally designed in early 1965 by the firm Curtis and Davis, their design had only called for three stories and due to the increased U.S. commitment in Vietnam, a larger building was needed. As such in November 1965 the firm Adrian Wilson and Associates were selected to redesign the building. The new design originally called for four stories but was then raised to six, and was built between 1965 and 1967 by the American construction company RMK-BRJ under the direction of the U.S. Navy Officer in Charge of Construction RVN. RMK-BRJ employed a workforce of 500 Vietnamese, primarily using materials from the U.S. due to the scarcity of commodities in South Vietnam at the time. Despite that the sand and gravel used in the concrete mix, along with the walkway tiles, and the bricks used in all the interior walls were sourced from Vietnam. The embassy was opened on September 29, 1967, after more than two years of construction and cost a total of 2.6 million dollar

  • Saigon Opera House (Ho Chi Minh Municipal Theater)

    The Saigon Opera House was custom built in 1897 by the French architect Eugene Ferret. It is one of the top venues in Vietnam to listen to opera and classical music.

    5 minutes

  • Duờng Dồng Khởi

    Dong Khoi is known as a million-dollar street or where land is more expensive than gold. There are houses for sale up to VND 1.5 billion per sqm, setting a new record high in Vietnam.

    5 minutes

  • Nguyen Hue Street

    Being the biggest road of Ho Chi Minh City, Nguyen Hue Walking Street spans 670 meters from the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee edifice to Bach Dang Wharf, respectively, and measures 64 meters in width. What’s different about this compared to any streets in the area is that it is installed with automatically-operated mist-emitting systems and lined with over 200 trees and 122 large tubs of flowering creepers. That creates a greenish landscape for the whole street and eases your mind whenever you come there.

    5 minutes

  • Ho Chi Minh Square (Quảng truờng Hồ Chi Minh) (Pass By)

    Ho Chi Minh Square can be found in the middle of District 1, right in the city centre, and is surrounded by beautiful French colonial style buildings. On this square you will find a statue of Uncle Ho, which was placed to honour the 100th birthday of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee (City Hall). The City Hall is a popular place for tourists to take pictures and is especially beautiful around dusk, when many of the landmarks are lit by soft lighting. On the left flank of the square you find the five-star Rex Hotel which is also designed by French architects and was home to International journalists during the Vietnam War. A state of the art shopping mall with all international brands, a food court and some luxury hotel rooms can be found on the right side (also French colonial architecture).

  • Bitexco Financial Tower (Pass By)

    Bitexco Financial Tower at a height of 262 meters is the tallest building in Ho Chi Minh City up to date. With design concept is taken from the shape of a lotus bud, the Vietnam national flower, Bitexco Financial Tower is not merely a building which is covered in glass and steel, but also a symbol of beauty and the rapid development of Ho Chi Minh City economy, a key economic region in Vietnam

  • Ben Thanh Market

    Ben Thanh Market is one of the oldest markets in Ho Chi Minh City. It had appeared before the French invaded Saigon (former name of Ho Chi Minh City), built at the beginning of the 17th century for small traders to exchange their goods on Ben Nghe River’s bank, next to a harbor near Gia Dinh Citadel. Ben Thanh Market is one of the busiest local markets in Ho Chi Minh City that you should visit to enjoy famous Vietnamese foods and shopping for lovely souvenirs. You will be definitely amazed by plenty of colorful kiosks where they sell foods, gifts, clothes and thousands of other items here.

Kent was great. He was very informative and easy to communicate with. He was with us all the time answering our questions, conversing with us, kind and attentive

Amazing tour - wonderful sights, learn about history, and experience Vietnamese culture

Published on Feb, 2025

What an amazing time! Hao was our tour guide. He is fun, informative, educational and genuinely interested in his guests having a great time. In just a half-day, Hao took us to all of the top sights in Saigon. Along the way, telling us about history and Vietnamese culture. We visited a beautiful temple, the War Remnants Museum, the historic Post Office and drove by the Notre Dame Cathedral (it's under renovation) and lots of other places. The open air Jeep allows you to enjoy unobstructed views and you get a better sense of Saigon traffic, while being completely safe. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour and I'll likely do it again on my next visit.
