Things to do in Independence Palace

As always, Klook made our trip more convenient. When we visited the Independence Palace, the line at the ticket counter was very long. Thankfully, since we booked through Klook, we were able to use the fast lane, and there was a dedicated staff member to assist us with claiming our tickets. The place is huge and perfect for taking photos. It’s well-maintained, and I really appreciate how they have preserved the historical site. Definitely worth visiting!

Great comprehensive tour by Phillip. Really bubbly personality and very knowledgeable of the history of Vietnam. I cried at the War Remnants Museum. Would recommend this tour to visitors of Vietnam. Especially to first timers.

Very fun way to see the whole city in a span of 1 hr. The heavy traffic coupled with the lack of wind breeze made the ride a bit unpleasant so I would bring a fan. Best the take the night bus if you want a visual tour of the city. Probably will be booking a 24 hr pass the next time I visit!

It's a very nice ride in and around major places in district 1 of Saigon. Would recommend it. Also it doesn't have any guide who prefers no noise no explanation during the ride this is the one.

The guide provided very detailed and patient explanations, looked after every guest, and was truly excellent. The entire itinerary was fantastic.

We had an amazing private tour experience in Ho Chi Minh City! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect for family! The tour was well-organized, and our guide (Daisy/Giang) was very accommodating and flexible with our requests. We really appreciated how our preferences were considered throughout the tour. Our favorite highlight was definitely the Independence Palace! Such a beautiful place filled with history. Overall, a memorable and enjoyable experience for our family. Highly recommended! 🤍

Thanks to Ana's careful guidance, I had a very fulfilling day. As someone working in architecture, learning in detail about the local architecture, history, and culture was an incredible learning experience. Ana patiently answered every single one of my questions, allowing me to view architecture from various perspectives, which made for a very meaningful time. Furthermore, the transportation and sightseeing at each location went smoothly, allowing me to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. Overall, I am extremely satisfied. I hope to apply what I learned from Ana today to my future architectural work even after returning to Japan. Ana made this a truly memorable day for me. I would definitely recommend this tour not only to those interested in architecture, but also to anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of Vietnam's history and culture!

I was on a Japanese tour by myself. My guide was a woman named Tao. She picked me up at the hotel lobby, and when I asked to take photos at famous spots and send postcards from the post office, she taught me how to buy and send them, and even communicated with the staff for me. While I was writing the postcards, she adjusted my Ao Dai and took pictures. She also took me to a section of Ben Thanh Market where you can't negotiate prices, and I was able to get four T-shirts at a great deal! I love Vietnam T-shirts for 99,000 VND! They're cheap even without negotiating! The only downside was that they didn't have any 333 beer T-shirts! We walked to our destinations and only took a car twice. On the way back, I changed at the hotel and returned the Ao Dai. Since I barely understand English, I'm glad I chose the Japanese tour! She also talked about history, and I was completely satisfied with the entire three hours!

Great half-day tour in Ho Chi Minh City! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything was well organized and easy from start to finish. Our guide was friendly, helpful and shared the history in a very interesting way. We visited the main highlights without feeling rushed. Really happy with the service from SST Travel and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Saigon.
