Step into Cho Lon, a bustling Chinatown with a rich history dating back to the late 1700s. This vibrant neighbourhood was founded by the Hoa people, an ethnic Chinese community, and is home to the stunning Thien Hau Temple. Adorned with intricate carvings, Thien Hau is considered one of the most beautiful temples in the area. Next, venture to the War Remnants Museum.  

The War Remnants Museum lies in the heart of the city centre. While the exhibits can be emotionally intense, they offer a powerful and insightful look into the Vietnam War. It is a valuable stop for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of this conflict and its lasting impact.

After a thought-provoking visit to the museum, recharge with a delicious Vietnamese lunch at a local eatery. Once you have fueled up on authentic flavours, it’s time to explore the Reunification Palace. This historic landmark played a pivotal role in Vietnamese history, and a visit here offers a fascinating glimpse into the past.

Next, visit the renowned Notre Dame Cathedral and the historic Central Post Office, where your expert guide will share the fascinating history of these iconic landmarks. You will also see the historic CIA building, famously associated with the departure of one of the last U.S. helicopters from Saigon in 1975. 

Our tour will continue with a stroll through other notable Ho Chi Minh City highlights, including the Opera House, Hotel Continental, Rex Hotel, and City Hall, as well as a glimpse of the impressive Bitexco Financial Tower. 

To conclude a fantastic day, we suggest visiting the Bitexco Financial Tower Skydeck (optional) for breathtaking panoramic views of the city from its observation deck. Our final destination will be Ben Thanh Market, a lively spot where you can shop for local goods and sample traditional Vietnamese cuisine. 

Then, we will return you to Tan Son Nhat International Airport in the comfort of our private vehicle. Be sure to give your wonderful guide a hug and ask for any final recommendations from our local expert.
