Hämta framför Phu My Port huvudport
Självständighetspalatset var basen för den vietnamesiska general Ngo Dinh Diem fram till sin död 1963. Den fick sitt namn i den globala historien 1975. En tank som tillhör den nordvietnamesiska armén kraschade genom sin huvudport och slutade Vietnamkriget. Idag är det ett måste för turister i Ho Chi Minh-staden. Palatset är som en tidskapsel fryst 1975. Du kan se två av de ursprungliga stridsvagnarna som användes för att fånga palatset parkerat på marken. Självständighetspalatset var den franska guvernören i Cochin-Kina hem och arbetsplats. Den har frodiga trädgårdar, hemliga rum, antika möbler och en kommandobunker. Det används fortfarande för att vara värd för viktiga tillfällen i Ho Chi Minh, inklusive APEC-toppmöten.
Saigon Notre Dame-katedralen, byggd i slutet av 1880-talet av franska kolonister, är ett av de få kvarvarande fästningarna i katolisismen i det i stort sett buddhistiska Vietnam. Beläget på Paris-torget gavs namnet Notre Dame efter installationen av statyn "Peaceful Notre Dame" 1959. 1962 beviljade Vatikanen katedralen status som basilika och gav den det officiella namnet på Saigon Notre-Dame-katedralen Basilica . Mätningen nästan 60 meter i höjd inkluderar katedralens utmärkande neo-romanska funktioner med den helt röda tegelfasaden (som importerades från Marseille), målat glasfönster, två klocktorn som innehåller sex bronsklockor som fortfarande ringer till denna dag och en fridfull trädgårdsmiljö mitt i centrum av Ho Chi Minh City District 1.
Centralpostkontoret i Ho Chi Minh är en vackert bevarad rest av fransk kolonitid och kanske det största postkontoret i hela Sydostasien. De två kulturella platserna ligger intill Notre Dame-katedralen och kan besökas tillsammans och erbjuder besökarna en chans att föreställa sig livet i Vietnam under tiderna av Indokinesiska riket. Byggnaden designades av Alfred Foulhoux och har välvda fönster och träluckor, precis som det skulle ha gjort under sin högsta tid i slutet av 1800-talet.
War Remnants Museum i Ho Chi Minh City öppnades först för allmänheten 1975. En gång känd som 'Museum of American War Crimes', är det en chockerande påminnelse om det långa och brutala Vietnamkriget. Grafiska fotografier och amerikansk militärutrustning visas. Det finns en helikopter med raketuppskjutare, en tank, ett jaktplan, ett ensits attackplan. Du kan också se en konventionell bomb som väger 6 800 kg. Amerikanska trupper hade använt dessa vapen mot vietnameserna mellan 1945 och 1975.
Ho Chi Minh Citys Cholon är Vietnams största Chinatown med rötter från 1778; det är också en plats med stor historisk och kulturell betydelse. Kinesiska minoriteter gömde sig här från Tay Son och var tvungna att återuppbygga området två gånger efter attacken med så många som 70% uppskattas ha dött för att försöka fly på båtar. De som överlevde bosatte sig och började sälja en mängd olika kinesiska produkter.
Kinesisk-påverkade Thien Hau-templet Ho Chi Minhs tempel erbjuder en väsentlig inblick i vietnamesernas övertygelser och seder, och detta vackra tempel är inget undantag! Denna nationella arkitektoniska arv, förutom bostäder av vackra konstverk och antikviteter, ger en viktig inblick i vietnamesiska folkreligioner för både lokalbefolkningen och turister.
Ben Thanh Market i Ho Chi Minh-stadens distrikt 1 är ett utmärkt ställe att köpa lokalt hantverk, märkesvaror, vietnamesisk konst och andra souvenirer. Här hittar du äta bås på marknaden där du kan smaka på vietnamesisk mat i hawker-stil eller helt enkelt svalka dig med en kall drink när förhandlingen blir för mycket. Marknaden är stor, svår att navigera ibland och säkert bäst undvikas under den hetaste delen av dagen men likväl är det väl värt att titta. När natten faller, öppnar restauranger runt omkretsen av marknaden sina dörrar och skapar en livlig gatasida som fyller luften med dofter av wok-stekte nudlar, grillad fisk och kött. Ett av Saigons äldsta landmärken, Ben Thanh erbjuder en fantastisk atmosfär som är helt autentiskt 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.

Jack’s 'movie-star' English and storytelling are definitely highlights for us, too—we'll be sure to pass your kind words along to him! 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!
