Throughout heroic battles, this amazing architectural work has seen almost every high and low of the Vietnamese war.
· 45 min· Admission included

Saigon Central Post Office
15 min Saigon Central Post Office was built in the 1880s based on the design of Gustave Eiffel, a famous French architect.
· 15 min

Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon
10 min Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon is a cathedral located in downtown Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Established by French colonists who initially named it Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Saïgon, the cathedral was constructed between 1863 and 1880. It has two bell towers, reaching a height of 58 meters (190 feet).
· 10 min

· 20 min
6
Former U.S. Embassy
drive-by Although originally designed in early 1965 by the firm Curtis and Davis, their design only called for three stories. Due to the increased U.S. commitment in Vietnam, a larger building was needed. In November 1965, the firm Adrian Wilson and Associates were selected to redesign the building. The new design originally called for four stories but was then raised to six and was built between 1965 and 1967 by the American construction company RMK-BRJ under the direction of the U.S. Navy Officer in Charge of Construction RVN. RMK-BRJ employed a workforce of 500 Vietnamese, primarily using materials from the U.S. due to the scarcity of commodities in South Vietnam at the time. Despite that, the sand and gravel used in the concrete mix, along with the walkway tiles and the bricks used in all the interior walls, were sourced from Vietnam. The embassy was opened on September 29, 1967, after more than two years of construction and cost a total of 2.6 million dollars.
· Non-stop passage

Nguyen Hue Street
5 min As the widest street in Ho Chi Minh City, Nguyen Hue Walking Street spans 670 meters from the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee building to Bach Dang Wharf and measures 64 meters in width. What sets it apart is its automatically operated mist-emitting system and over 200 trees and 122 large tubs of flowering creepers, creating a green landscape that soothes the mind.
· 5 min
10
Ho Chi Minh Square (Quảng truờng Hồ Chi Minh)
drive-by Ho Chi Minh Square is located in the center of District 1, surrounded by beautiful French colonial-style buildings. The square features a statue of Uncle Ho, honoring the 100th birthday of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee (City Hall). The City Hall is a popular spot for tourists, especially beautiful around dusk when landmarks are lit by soft lighting. On the left is the five-star Rex Hotel, also designed by French architects and a former base for international journalists during the Vietnam War. A state-of-the-art shopping mall with international brands, a food court, and luxury hotel rooms can be found on the right, also in French colonial architecture.

Ben Thanh Market
15 min Ben Thanh Market is one of the oldest markets in Ho Chi Minh City, predating the French invasion of Saigon (formerly Ho Chi Minh City). It was built in the early 17th century for small traders to exchange goods on the bank of the Ben Nghe River, next to a harbor near Gia Dinh Citadel. Ben Thanh Market is one of the busiest local markets in Ho Chi Minh City, ideal for enjoying famous Vietnamese foods and shopping for souvenirs.

Easy city tour with an experienced guide
wishy67, October 2026
A great way to get your bearings around Ho Chi Minh City, as this was our first day. We went early morning but by the time the tour finished it was extremely hot. Pick up was from our hotel front door and were waiting for us coming out. Hi, was our guide and gave us a lot of good detail on the country’s history as well as the city. Cold drinks provided throughout the tour. Thanks
