Review for: Half Day Saigon City Tour (Premier)

This half day tour is a must when you are visiting Saigon, if you want to learn more about the history. Our tour guide, Ms. Sunny, is a very professional and joyful guide! She has a very cheerful attitude and also very knowledgeable about the tour. We learned a lot from her even though this tour is only half day. I can recommend this tour for everyone that are looking to learn more about Vietnam!

We had a great 1st day at Ho Chi Minh City because of this tour — Twin, our guide, was the best we could ask for. we were very tired due to our early morning flight but Twin was such a great story teller and had a lot of energy for all of us that we made it through. We were picked up at our airbnb and were dropped off at Saigon Centre as we requested. It was very hot during our tour time so for future tourists just dress accordingly 😁 we also got free water bottles during the tour. would definitely recommend this for first-timers!

Our guide knowledge to describe the history of the places we visited. The pick up was on-time in our hotel in District 1. Notre Dame Cathedral still in under renovation until next 2 years so that we cannot enter. Post office and the palace are well maintained. War Remnants Museum shows picturesque during the Vietnam war.

Tour guide Mr Tom is very approachable & knowledgeable about the places he brought us to see! 1) War Remnant Museum- this is a must-visit place and the reason that made me came! Totally had mixed feelings after visiting this historical place and no regrets about it. Salute the Vietnamese soldiers for their resilience & strength! 2) The Unification Palace- this is a significant historical site in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This iconic building served as the presidential palace for the former Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) during the Vietnam War. The palace is renowned for its modernist architecture and played a pivotal role in the war's conclusion. 👍🏻🫰🏻 3) Central Post Office- Adjacent to the cathedral is the Central Post Office, another architectural gem that bears the mark of French influence. Its grand interior boasts a vaulted ceiling, intricate ironwork, and beautifully arched windows, making it an iconic post office and a tourist attraction. 4) Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon, commonly known as Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral- Unfortunately, the building is closed for renovation until Year 2026. This iconic cathedral is situated in the heart of the city and is a prime example of French colonial architecture. Built in the late 19th century, it features red brick façades and twin bell towers that reach a height of over 58 meters. Nevertheless, I will be back again to visit once it is ready! 🇻🇳 Many thanks to Mr Tom with his introduction of these places & Klook Tour! 👍🏻😊🇸🇬
