Your half-day Sai Gon city tour begins with hotel pickup from centrally located hotels in Ho Chi Minh City. Accompanied by a local guide, you will discover different sides of the city, from history and architecture to religion, culture, and everyday life.
To understand modern Sai Gon, the tour explores key sites related to the Viet Nam War. Visit the War Remnants Museum, offering important insights into the impacts of the war, followed by the Reunification Palace, once the seat of power of South Viet Nam. Here, you will also see the historic tank that marked the end of the war and the fall of Sai Gon.
The journey then takes you back to the 19th century during the French colonial period. Stop at the beautiful Central Post Office, one of the city’s finest examples of colonial architecture, and admire the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral from outside (currently under renovation).
Next, experience a quieter side of the city at the Jade Emperor Pagoda, a peaceful spiritual site where you can learn about local beliefs, traditions, and Vietnamese culture.
Your final stop is Ben Thanh Market, the most famous market in Sai Gon. Walk through its lively stalls and experience the vibrant atmosphere, filled with colours, scents, and authentic local flavours.
After exploring the city, you will gain a deeper understanding of Sai Gon and why it is so loved by locals. The tour ends with a convenient drop-off at your hotel or any location in the city centre.
