The Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon, commonly known as the Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica, is a beautiful and historic landmark in Ho Chi Minh City.

We were picked up at the port where our ship was docked. Our tour guide (pronounced) ‘Spring’, and the driver were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, as well as informative. We enjoyed every stop on the itinerary that we saw. We are senior citizens, unfortunately, the heat index became intolerable for us, and we asked to be returned to the ship. This in no way reflects our guide’s performance or Viator. I would highly recommend this tour, and regret not being able to complete it.
