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!

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.

Such an amazing experience. we had a tour guide Duy and she was awesome. Helped up with where we wanted to go and recommending so many places. she was so knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam and was so lovely and funny to talk to, highly recommend her. I booked this for my first day in Vietnam for my parents so that they could get comfortable in Ho Chi Minh and it was so worth it. definitely recommend doing it on your first day, way better than the tour busses. you get your bearings of the city and heaps of local advice on how to survive the crazy life in Vietnam. We went to the post office, book steeet, Notre Dame, the indipendace palace, war mamorial, cafe appartments and tried out egg coffee, salt coffee and coconut coffee and had broken rice for lunch

Dan was the best! I don’t usually enjoy history tours because they can be boring, but Dan was so informative and entertaining. I felt like it wasn’t just a history lesson, but also a personal retelling of the impact of time and how everything still affects the current state. Absolute best tour guide around!
