Know Before You Go

By joining the tour, you will discover the modern city by taking a trip through central Ho Chi Minh City. The streets, where much of the city life takes place, are a jumble of markets, shops and pavement cafes. Everywhere you turn there are rolling food carts and vendors selling wares spread out on the sidewalk.

War Remnants Museum: War Remnants Museum was operated by the Vietnamese government and established in 1975. It contains exhibits relating to the Vietnam War and the First Indochina War involving the French colonialists.

Notre Dame Cathedral: Notre Dame Cathedral is located at No.1, Paris Commune Street, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1. Located in an airy intersection and surrounded by rows of trees, Notre-Dame Cathedral is the most magnificent architectural work in this area.

Saigon Central Post Office: Saigon Central Post Office was also built in the 1880s based on the design of Gustave Eiffel – a famous French architect. Tourists can come here and discover the ancient world of the old Saigon, from the post office boxes to phone booths.

Saigon Opera House: The Saigon Opera House was custom built in 1897 by the French architect Eugene Ferret. It is one of the top venues in Vietnam to listen to opera and classical music.

Walking Street Nguyen Hue: Nguyen Hue is the first walking street in Saigon. It is worth spending a short time here and enjoying the crowded atmosphere of downtown or watching various buildings.

Jade Emperor Pagoda: Jade Emperor Pagoda is a 100-year-old pagoda built by Vietnam’s local Chinese Cantonese community. It was visited by former President Obama in 2016, and listed at the top of Ho Chi Minh attractions.

The secret armoury in District 3: Nestled in an alley in District 3, the idyllic house is evidence of history. Being a hiding place for nearly 2 tons of weapons of Saigon Rangers during the offensive and rebellion of the 1968 Tet Offensive, the small house on Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street became a piece of historical evidence. Everything there speaks of Vietnamese heroic victory. Mr Tran Van Lai (Nam Lai) bought this house and turned it into a base for weapons in agreement with the commander of the unit. Weapons hidden in the armoury were used for the battle to the headquarters of Nguy - Reunification Palace. The transport of weapons from the point to the secret basement into the city was extremely difficult and dangerous. If detected by the enemy, the rangers must destroy their weapons by themselves, which means sacrificing their secrets to both the shipping route and the hiding place. The construction of this armoury was carried out secretly and safely. This had contributed significantly to the victory of the General Offensive 1968 Tet. The Saigon Rangers suddenly captured the targets. 15 soldiers of Team 5 received weapons from the house, then bravely headed toward the Independence Palace to conduct a daring battle.
