Itinerary
07.30 – 08.00: Pick up and depart to Reunification Palace which has stayed in the mind of many generations of not only Vietnamese but also foreigners. It is known as the famous historical witness which passed through the two fierce wars against the French and American colonists.
Continue with Notre Dame Cathedral and the historic Central Post Office, the other beautiful structures from the French Colonial times, all of them are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City. Unfortunately, the Notre Dame Cathedral have been being restored, so we just visit outside.
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.
The War Remnants Museum has remained the most visited museum in Ho Chi Minh City for years. With exhibitions and displays focusing on the Vietnam War, one of the most politically influential wars in modern world history, many visitors, especially those from Western countries, have flocked to the museum to learn more about how Vietnam managed to clinch a landslide victory over the US and the aftermath of this war.

This tour was the absolute highlight of my trip to Ho Chi Minh City. Being picked up right from my hotel and riding pillion with an amazing female rider in her Ao Dai felt both safe and special. We zipped through the city’s busy streets, visiting everything from the Post Office and Notre-Dame Cathedral to hidden gems like the secret bunker and the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda. The food stops were perfect—fresh bánh mì, silky caramel pudding, and strong cà phê đen kept me energized all morning. Our guide spoke excellent English, and every stop came with stories that made Saigon’s history come alive. It’s such a unique, personal way to see the city, and I’d highly recommend it to solo travelers, couples, or anyone who wants to explore beyond the usual tourist bus!
What a fantastic review—thank you for capturing the spirit of Saigon so beautifully! 🌆 We’re overjoyed to hear that being picked up by our Ao Dai rider and zipping through the bustling streets made your day feel both safe and special. The hidden gems like the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda and the secret bunker are some of our favorite spots too, and it’s wonderful that you connected with them. And of course, no Saigon adventure is complete without bánh mì, pudding, and strong cà phê đen to keep the energy flowing! Hearing that this tour became the highlight of your trip truly means the world to us. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to your guide and rider—they’ll be thrilled. Thank you again for recommending us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for even more adventures with GADT Travel!
Simon our guide was very informative, friendly & amusing. He also took pictures for me since I was traveling solo.
Only 2 of us on the tour, our guide provided us with information regarding pickup and was on time. All of the sites visited were interesting and the guide provided informative and interesting details about them. Time spent at each site was sufficient, and included time for us to wander to look for ourselves.
