Itinerary

Independence Palace was the base of Vietnamese General Ngo Dinh Diem until his death in 1963. It made its name in global history in 1975. A tank belonging to the North Vietnamese Army crashed through its main gate, ending the Vietnam War. Today, it's a must-visit for tourists in Ho Chi Minh City. The palace is like a time capsule frozen in 1975. You can see two of the original tanks used in the capture of the palace parked in the grounds. Independence Palace was the home and workplace of the French Governor of Cochin-China. It has lush gardens, secret rooms, antique furniture, and a command bunker. It's still in use to host important occasions in Ho Chi Minh, including APEC summits.
Go to the Museum of War Remnants to learn about a painful period in the recent history of Vietnam. Break for a lunch of local Restaurant.
Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral, built in the late 1880s by French colonists, is one of the few remaining strongholds of Catholicism in the largely Buddhist Vietnam. Located in Paris Square, the name Notre Dame was given after the installation of the statue ‘Peaceful Notre Dame’ in 1959. In 1962, the Vatican conferred the Cathedral status as a basilica and gave it the official name of Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica. Measuring almost 60 metres in height, the cathedral’s distinctive neo-Romanesque features include the all-red brick façade (which were imported from Marseille), stained glass windows, two bell towers containing six bronze bells that still ring to this day, and a peaceful garden setting in the middle of downtown Ho Chi Minh City District 1.
The Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh is a beautifully preserved remnant of French colonial times and perhaps the grandest post office in all of Southeast Asia. Located next door to Notre Dame Cathedral, the two cultural sites can be visited together and offers visitors a chance to imagine life in Vietnam during the times of the Indochinese Empire. The building was designed by Alfred Foulhoux and features arched windows and wooden shutters, just as it would have in its heyday in the late 19th Century.

Our guide Layla was THE BEST! She communicated with us prior to the excursion. There was no problem picking us up at a different location than scheduled since our cruise ship was reassigned to Phuoc An Port rather than Phu My. She customized our tour to suit our needs. We visited the War Remnants Museum, the Bap Tang artisan shop, the Reunification Palance and then stopped for lunch at Pho Vietnam. Lunch was so-so. We then saw the Central Post Office and Thien Hau Pagoda. We enjoyed our day but definitely enjoyed our delightful guide, Layla!

Our group of 4 had a fabulous day touring local & tourist sites in Ho Chi Minh City along with our tour guide Vinh and driver. Vinh looked after us making sure we tasted the local fare and experienced a walk through the market in Chinatown. He was professional and very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Vietnam. A trip to the War Museum is not to be missed. Lunch was delicious at a local Pho restaurant. Our driver was experienced and cautious with all the traffic in the city. The vehicle was large, clean and comfortable. We would definitely recommend Vinh and Hiep Hoi An Travel when traveling in Vietnam. A BIG Thank you.

As a baby boomer, I feel I watched the Vietnam War on television. There were countless images of the American Embassy and the Royal Palace and Saigon back in the 60s. To see it in real life and to note the vast changes since the war was a revelation and gave dimension to my understanding. Our guide was knowledgable and fluent and was flexible with our itinerary. He also treated us to a wonderful lunch of Pho and was a kind and considerate person (as was the driver).

Rachel was the best your guide. While driving on the tour, Rachel shared pictures on her IPad and explained the history of the area. She guided us through each area. She even took photos for us. She even went shopping with us. At lunch she sat with us. She spoke good English and even assisted us with some Vietnamese words. Anyone who has the privilege of being her tour guide will love her.

The pickup was smooth. The stops were well planned out and with our guide we didn’t have to stand in long lines to get in places. Our guide also picked out a Michelin pho place for lunch. We asked him to sit with us and he walked us through everything at lunch. Our guide, Anthony Nguyen, was incredible and would definitely want him with us whenever we visit again. The booking was smooth and communication was excellent. I do recommend having WhatsApp if you don’t have it.

We did 3 tours with the agency Hiep. We all had good guides, safe drivers, clean and modern vehicles. The guides were characterized by good and clearly understandable English and good and precise description. At any time you could communicate well. The information in advance was excellent and the agency was always available and responded promptly 👍 We receive the agency, the price performance ratio is reasonable.

We really liked our tour to Ho Chi Minh City. Our guide, Richard, is very knowledgeable and provided deep inside into the history of the city and Vietnam. After seeing a lot of historical landmarks and interacting with people, we decided to plan a trip to Vietnam in the foreseeable future!
