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!

We visited the Independence Palace and War Remnants Museum with our guide Kevin. Both are fascinating and, in our view, must-sees in Ho Chi Minh City. The Independence Palace offers a fascinating insight into the Vietnam War, with its historic meeting and banquet rooms, communications rooms and underground bunker, as well as great views over the city. The War Remnants Museum, just a short walk away, is extremely powerful and visual, showing the devastating effects of war and the suffering and resistance of the Vietnamese people. Kevin was knowledgeable and flexible, allowing us time for drinks and snacks, which made the tour work very well even with a young child. Highly recommended.

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.

We had a wonderful morning exploring Ho Chi Minh City with our guide, Penny. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the tour both enjoyable and informative. We visited the Saigon Central Post Office, Independence Palace, and the War Remnants Museum. Penny shared fascinating insights into the history and culture of each site, making the experience even more meaningful. Unfortunately, the Notre Dame Cathedral was closed for renovations, but Penny ensured we still made the most of our visit to the area. The tour was well organised from start to finish. Our driver was punctual, friendly, and professional, and the private vehicle was clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned, making it easy to relax between stops. This was a fantastic introduction to Ho Chi Minh City, and we highly recommend this Klook tour. If you're lucky enough to have Penny as your guide, you're in for a memorable and enjoyable experience!

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!

One of the best tours to truly understand and appreciate Vietnam and how it has become what it is today. It took a long time for Vietnam to get to where it is now, and this tour provides valuable insight into that journey. The war remnants was heart-wrenching, and I couldn't finish looking through all the photos because they were incredibly heavy and heartbreaking. Despite the emotional experience, we had an amazing time during the tour. Be sure to bring cooling spray, water, and a fan to help you survive the Ho Chi Minh heat! A special thank you to our tour guide Cyta, who made this tour even more enjoyable. she was kind, knowledgeable, and shared so many stories about Vietnam's past, which made the experience much more meaningful. We really appreciate this type of tour arrangement compared to traditional travel agency tours. It allowed us to explore at our own pace while immersing ourselves in the local culture and daily life. It felt more personal, authentic, and enjoyable overall.
