Know before you go

A note from your tour guide: Hotel pickup time for the morning Saigon tour will vary from 8:00 to 8:15. I will inform you of the exact time after receiving your hotel address. The pickup time depends on traffic jams, weather, and other customers in the group tour. Therefore, the driver and tour guide need time to collect all customers. If they come late, I hope you can sympathize with this inconvenience and patiently wait for them.
Pickup service outside HCMC Center is available with a surcharge.
The price of this Saigon half-day tour does not apply on holidays.
