Discover Saigon in the most comfortable and personalized way with a fully private half-day city tour designed for travelers who want flexibility, authenticity, and deeper cultural insight. Unlike group tours, this experience allows you to explore at your own pace with a knowledgeable local guide who shares insider stories, hidden history, and real local perspectives that most tourists never hear.
Enjoy convenient hotel pickup and drop-off, travel in a private air-conditioned car, and avoid the stress of navigating busy city traffic. This tour is perfect for families, seniors, couples, first-time visitors, and travelers with limited time who still want to see Saigon’s essential highlights: Notre Dame Cathedral, the Central Post Office, Reunification Palace, War Remnants Museum, and authentic local markets.
With flexible timing, personalized attention, and curated photo stops, this private tour ensures a smooth, comfortable, and memorable introduction to the heart of Ho Chi Minh City.
Pickup is included from hotels in Ho Chi Minh City. Please wait in your hotel lobby 10 minutes before your scheduled pickup time. Our guide will meet you at the reception.
Your first stop is the French-colonial heart of the city. See the red-brick Notre-Dame Cathedral from the outside (it is often under renovation) and walk across the street to the Central Post Office, designed by Gustave Eiffel. Your guide will share stories of Saigon during the French era and help you notice the small details that most visitors miss.
Continue to the Reunification Palace, the former Presidential Palace of South Vietnam. Walk through the reception halls, communication rooms, and underground bunkers as your guide explains the events that led up to the end of the Vietnam War on April 30, 1975.
For travelers who want to understand more about the American–Vietnam War from a local perspective, the next stop is the War Remnants Museum. Exhibits include military vehicles, photographs, and personal stories. Content can be emotional, so families with young children or sensitive guests may choose to skip this stop.
Finish with a taste of local daily life at Ben Thanh Market—Saigon’s most famous market—or, if you prefer somewhere less touristy, your guide can take you to a smaller neighborhood market instead. See how locals shop, learn how to bargain respectfully, and discover Vietnamese spices, coffee, and tropical fruits. If time allows, you may also enjoy a quick Vietnamese coffee or a snack such as banh mi or fresh spring rolls
