The major historical and cultural landmarks will be visible, but Saigon—dubbed "The Pearl of the Far East"—offers much more. It's the people's fast pace, echoed by the loud sounds of the many cafés. It's the consumers in the busy streets of the markets haggling. Your experienced guide will explain the numerous sites you view.

Private Ho Chi Minh City Tour Itinerary:

08:00: You will be picked up from the hotel located in the central city by our expert tour guide and private vehicle.

Visit the city highlights in Ho Chi Minh City, and then have lunch at the local restaurant.

Known as the 'Paris of the East,' Saigon's Notre Dame Cathedral is a sight to behold. Its twin towers, constructed from bricks imported from Marseille, France, are easily identifiable. Don't miss the opportunity to take stunning photos of Vietnam's expansive, modern metropolis by visiting the Post Office.

Reunification Palace During the "Fall of Saigon" in 1975, communist Vietnam gained its freedom. Numerous landmarks from the period may be found. An interesting monster constructed in the 1960s with Soviet assistance is the Reunification Palace (previously the Presidential Palace). Still standing in the front yard is the tank that symbolizes 'The Fall,' which blasted through its gates on April 30, 1975.

The year 1975 marked the public opening of the War Remnants Museum located in Ho Chi Minh City. It is a gloomy reflection of the long and horrible Vietnam War and was formerly known as the "Museum of American War Crimes." There are pictures of US military hardware on display. There is an assault plane with a single seat, a fighter jet, a tank, and a rocket-launching helicopter. Additionally, a conventional bomb weighing 6,800 kg is shown. American soldiers used these weapons against the Vietnamese between 1945 and 1975.

Perhaps the nicest post office in Southeast Asia is the Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City, a stunningly maintained example of French colonial architecture. When viewed in tandem, the two cultural sites—which are close to Notre Dame Cathedral—allow tourists to experience life in Vietnam under the Indochinese Empire. Built by Alfred Foulhoux, the building features wooden shutters and arched windows, much like it did in the late 1800s when it was first constructed.

Ben Thanh Market, You will be able to see the finest of the city stress-free thanks to your amazing tour of Saigon. You'll be tempted to go into Saigon and find your beat by the allure of the city's busy population and food aromas. If time permits, you will get the chance to interact with neighborhood vendors and discover the art of bartering at the Ben Thanh market for presents in Vietnam.

13:30: Return to the Hotel.
