For those who only have a few days to spend in Ho Chi Minh, a tour of the city is highly recommended. It offers the visitors the opportunity to get a feel of the city's architecture and life. We started off with the Reunification Palace, formerly known as the Presidential Palace. This important city landmark assured its place in history on April 30, 1975 when the first North Vietnamese tanks rumbled past, signaling the fall of Saigon and ultimately the end of the Vietnam War. Currently the building is set as a museum with various meeting areas (still used for diplomatic and government meetings), war rooms and a basement communication center.
Our next stop was the Notre Dame Cathedral which dates back to the 19th century. It is one of the most popular places and a backdrop for wedding photographs. Across the street from the Cathedral is the city's striking French colonial era post office, whilst Hotel de Ville de Saigon, officially Ho Chi Minh City Hall is another of the city's most prominent buildings. Another example of French colonial architecture is the Saigon Opera House (built in 1898) which stands right at the heart of the city. Our last stop was at the Jade Emperor Pagoda, is a Taoist temple build by the Chinese community in 1909. The temple exhibits various phantasmagorical divinities and grotesque heroes, having the Jade Emperor or the king of Heaven at its center.

The driver immediately picked us up from the airport.
Driver was very helpful in loading our baggage and very courteous. Knowledge of driver and safety precautions was accepted with many thanks.
He gave brief reviews of the place which was greatly appreciated. Return to airport driver was equally nice, friendly.
Then the next day, we had a half day tour and the tour guide Hung was fantastic, we already took us to the market to find some things we wanted to see.
He was nice guy, full of information and very helpful, took us to the post office, the war museum and the cathedral, and was more than happy to give him a tip.
If this entire companies staff like him and the tours with this much info, they’ll kick goals.

Dear lulushu,
Thanks for sharing your great experience with us. I will give your nice words to Mr. Hung, your tour guide in Saigon. He would be very happy to read all your compliments.
As I know that your trip to Cu Chi tunnels is one of our highlights tours. Although you just had a half day tour yet we are happy that you got much information from our tour guide.
Besides providing transport service, we offer many activities such as sightseeing tours, haft day and full day trips as well as shore excursions in Asia.
On behalf of Saigon city tours team, I would like to say thank you again for choosing our service. We hope that we will have a chance to serve you another quality service with us.
We wish you and your family all the best. Hope to see you soon!
Best regards,
Mike Nguyen

We booked a City & Cu Chi Tunnels Tour through Expedia while we were still in Japan. There turned out to bit of a mix up on the morning of the tour but following a phone call from our hotel reception the problem was quickly fixed. The company organized a driver and tour guide and we headed off on our personal tour firstly to Cu Chi Tunnels.
After a couple of hours we returned to Ho Chi Minh City. Following a yummy lunch at Pho24 restaurant we then spent a few hours driving and walking around the City. Our guide Hoa was fantastic and we really enjoyed her company. She was very informative and had a good sense of humour too.
All in all it was a great day out. We also thought it was really good having a private tour with a personal guide as opposed to being in a larger group.tour.

My travel companion and I booked this tour through Viator and were pretty excited for the tour. It was the biggest waste of money and not worth even $1.
The tour guide did nothing that was promised on the tour, no food was tried and tasted, no 'best kept secrets' were discovered and no fortunes were told. We simply walked the streets of Ho Chi Minh City and didn't learn anything. We asked the guide about things mentioned in the description and when we were going to do these. Her response was that if you want to try food, you need to go in the afternoon. This tour is only offered as a morning tour.....
We did get a bowl of pho, however it was from Pho24 and not what was promised in the tour. Pho24 is a food chain that I would say is the equivalent to McDonalds in the western world.
After the tour, we called Asia Travel Links directly to make a complaint and ask for a refund. We were rudely told to email but was given an incorrect email address. Since returning home to Melbourne, we have googled for the correct address and followed up. As a result, we have basically been told to get lost and that it was our fault that we didn't do anything promised on the tour.
I would strongly suggest NOT booking this tour and NOT booking any tours through Asia Travel Links. Mike in their office is very unhelpful and rude. It's best to avoid these situations and book any other tour through another company
Very unhappy customer :(

One of our tour guides drove us to the mekong delta, we travelled by mini bus, after arriving we used a motor boat to travel inside the delta waterways where we visited a coconut farm, walked through the plantations where we had a magnificent lunch (elephant ear fish was magnificent. Visited local house which showed how some still live. It was a magical day out.

This airport transfer service went very smoothly and the drive was extremely friendly and professional. He also provided very clear confirmation email. I was already impressed with this service but became even more impressed when they were able to arrange another last minute airport transfer. The office staff responded to my emails immediately and confirmed the pick up very quickly.

Cheong and Vivienne met us outside our hotel punctually at 8am. Both are students at Saigon university studying tourism and run these free tours to improve their English. Our walking tour included visits to the Opera, Post Office and Notre-Dame Cathedral. After a quick stop for coffee in a typical student cafe which my teenage daughters loved , we then went to the War Remnants Museum. Finally , we finished off the tour at the Ben Thanh Market. Overall, it was a really informative tour with our two guides speaking excellent English. We would definitely recommend this organisation .

The afternoon tour was in 3 parts. Firstly a bus tour around Saigon (as they all still call it), then a hilarious ride around on a seat on the front of a push bike and then a visit to the flea market. All absolutely brilliant and so interesting. You do take your life in your hands a bit on the front of the bike, particularly with a million scooters going every way past you at cross roads, but wouldn't have missed it for the world. You do need to tip the cyclists, but it's a pathetic amount that you are told to tip by the guide that you almost feel guilty giving.
In the market if you can bargain well, you will end up with some real bargains - the tee shirts I paid about £2.50 for (however many millions in Dong that is) have washed up well and in constant use 6 months later.
We also stopped at some really beautiful temples. Not normally into that sort of thing but they were amazing.
I can't remember how much it was but like everything in Vietnam it wasn't at all costly and provided a really good flavour of a truly remarkable city.
