This private full-day tour connects central Saigon’s historic buildings with the pagodas and streets of Cho Lon. Visit Reunification Palace and the War Remnants Museum, stop near Notre Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office, and finish at Ben Thanh Market. A local English-speaking guide, private air-conditioned transfers and one lunch are included.
Begin at Reunification Palace, where your guide can explain the events of April 1975 and the building’s role in the history of the city. The Central Post Office and nearby cathedral show a different side of Saigon’s past. Plan for an exterior stop at the cathedral, with access depending on current restoration and local arrangements.
At the War Remnants Museum, photographs and artefacts offer a view of the war and its effects. Tell your guide what your party is comfortable seeing, particularly if you are travelling with children.
After lunch, visit Giac Lam, one of the city’s oldest pagodas. In Cho Lon, stop at Thien Hau Pagoda to learn about the neighbourhood’s Chinese heritage. The afternoon ends at Ben Thanh Market, with time to look around its stalls before returning to your hotel.
Send your hotel name, date and group size. We will confirm the pickup time and discuss any mobility or dietary needs. The order of stops may change around opening hours and traffic.
