Afhentning foran Phu My Port hovedport
Uafhængighedspaladet var basen for den vietnamesiske general Ngo Dinh Diem indtil hans død i 1963. Det opkaldt i verdenshistorien i 1975. En tank, der tilhørte den nordvietnamesiske hær, styrtede ned gennem hovedporten og sluttede Vietnamkrigen. I dag er det et must for turister i Ho Chi Minh City. Paladset er som en tidskapsel frosset i 1975. Du kan se to af de originale tanke, der blev brugt til indfangningen af paladset parkeret i grunden. Independence Palace var hjemstedet og arbejdspladsen for den franske guvernør i Cochin-China. Det har frodige haver, hemmelige værelser, antikke møbler og en kommandobunker. Det bruges stadig til at være vært for vigtige lejligheder i Ho Chi Minh, inklusive APEC-topmøder.
Saigon Notre Dame-katedralen, der blev bygget i slutningen af 1880'erne af franske kolonister, er et af de få resterende fæstninger af katolisismen i det stort set buddhistiske Vietnam. Placeret på Paris-pladsen blev navnet Notre Dame givet efter installationen af statuen 'Fredelig Notre Dame' i 1959. I 1962 tildelte Vatikanet domkirken status som basilika og gav det officielle navn Saigon Notre-Dame-katedralen Basilica . Måling næsten 60 meter i højden inkluderer katedralens karakteristiske neo-romanske karakteristika den helt røde murstensfacade (som blev importeret fra Marseille), farvede glasvinduer, to klokketårne indeholdende seks bronzeklokker, der stadig ringer til i dag, og en fredelig haveindstilling midt i Ho Chi Minh City District 1.
Det centrale postkontor i Ho Chi Minh er en smukt bevaret rest af den franske kolonitid og måske det største postkontor i hele Sydøstasien. De to kulturelle steder, der ligger ved siden af Notre Dame-katedralen, kan sammen besøges og giver besøgende en chance for at forestille sig livet i Vietnam i tiderne af det indokinesiske imperium. Bygningen er tegnet af Alfred Foulhoux og har buede vinduer og trævinduer, ligesom det ville have i sin storhedstid i slutningen af det 19. århundrede.
War Remnants Museum i Ho Chi Minh City åbnede først for offentligheden i 1975. En gang kendt som 'Museum of American War Crimes', er det en chokerende påmindelse om den lange og brutale Vietnam-krig. Grafiske fotografier og amerikansk militærudstyr vises. Der er en helikopter med raketkastere, en tank, et jagerfly, et enkeltpersons angrebsfly. Du kan også se en konventionel bombe, der vejer 6.800 kg. Amerikanske tropper havde brugt disse våben mod vietnameserne mellem 1945 og 1975.
Ho Chi Minh-byens Cholon er Vietnams største Chinatown med rødder tilbage til 1778; det er også et sted med stor historisk og kulturel betydning. Kinesiske minoriteter gemte sig her for Tay Son og måtte derefter genopbygge området to gange efter angreb, med op til 70% skønnet at være døde ved forsøg på at flygte på både. De, der overlevede, bosatte sig og begyndte at sælge en række forskellige kinesiske produkter.
Kinesisk-påvirkede Thien Hau-templet Ho Chi Minhs templer tilbyder en væsentlig indsigt i vietnamesernes tro og skikke, og dette smukke tempel er ingen undtagelse! Dette nationale arkitektoniske arvested bortset fra at huse smukke kunstværker og antikviteter giver en vigtig indsigt i vietnamesiske folkereligioner for både lokale og turister.
Ben Thanh marked i Ho Chi Minh-byens distrikt 1 er et fantastisk sted at købe lokalt kunsthåndværk, mærkevarer, vietnamesisk kunst og andre souvenirs. Her finder du spisebåse på markedet, hvor du kan få en smag af det vietnamesiske køkken i hawker-stil eller blot slappe af med en kold drink, når forhandlingen bliver for meget. Markedet er stort, vanskeligt at navigere til tider og bestemt bedst undgås i den hotteste del af dagen, men alligevel er det værd at se på. Når natten falder, åbner restauranter omkring markedets omkreds deres døre og skaber en pulserende gadesidescene, der fylder luften med duften af wok-stegte nudler, grillet fisk og kød. Et af Saigons ældste vartegn, Ben Thanh tilbyder en dejlig atmosfære, der er absolut autentisk vietnamesisk.

Very good private tour. We saw all the typical sites including the War Rembrants Museum.Palace, Opera House, Post Office and Ben Thanh market. Hillbilly Jack, our guide, was excellent in working with our limitations and modifying the tour as we requested. He is a personable, friendly and knowledgeable young man who gave us a lot of information on his country. He, and our driver, assisted in moving my husband's wheelchair in and out of the immaculate SUV that was our transport. Lunch was included and it was acceptable. We also had the opportunity to stop for Highlands coffee at a local café but we declined due to time constraints. Overall a great tour, I highly recommend the tour and, especially, Hillbilly Jack, our guide.

From start to finish the experience was exceptional. Hillbilly Jack, our tour guide, made sure we knew exactly where to meet him and his driver. We were provided with interesting facts about Vietnam and were free to ask questions etc. We felt safe and comfortable in our taxi, which was spacious and air conditioned. The journey from port to Saigon took approximately 2 hrs but we were entertained all the time by Hillbilly Jack who had acquired his English-American twang from watching movies. Lunch was provided and was fantastic. All in all we couldn't have asked for more and would highly recommend.

It's great to hear the lunch hit the spot and that the ride from the port was comfortable. We’d love to see you back in Vietnam again one day. Safe travels!
