Ho Chi Minh Half day Private Tour

This half-day tour comes with an English-speaking guide and an air-conditioned vehicle, both dedicated to your group, for a first pass through the history of Ho Chi Minh City. You pick three stops from a set list, so the morning covers what you actually want to see rather than a fixed circuit.

Choosing your three stops

The list runs Independence Palace, the War Remnants Museum, the Post Office, Saigon Church, the Zoo and the temples. Three of those go into your morning, and the Zoo and the temples round the list out, so it does not have to be all museums. Because the guide and the vehicle are yours alone, the tour moves at your pace, with the room to linger where something holds your attention and skip ahead where it does not. It is a first look at Saigon's past and present rather than a deep study of any one site.

Landmarks of history

The Reunification Palace, listed here as Independence Palace, is the site where Vietnam's reunification was sealed in 1975, and its preserved halls and war-era relics are open to explore. The War Remnants Museum gives a direct and often difficult account of the country's wartime history.

Colonial architecture

The Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica and the Central Post Office are both reminders of Saigon's French colonial past, and they stand near enough to each other that you can see the two together.

A water bottle comes with the vehicle, and your guide stays with your group for the whole morning. Rayna's own team arranges the guide, the vehicle and the booking, and stays reachable before, during and after the tour.
