We had a great tour around Saigon with Ki, she was very knowledgeable and friendly and shared a lot of history and interesting insights about everything we saw. Would highly recommend the tour and especially Ki as a guide!

I couldn’t recommend doing this tour enough! I had Nghi and she was super lovely, enthusiastic, and so knowledgable. The information she gave was really interesting and she gave an insane list of recommendations for the city at the end of the tour. Thank you!!!

Absolute must do if you want to get to know and feel the city. Nghi was such an amazing and knowledgeable person, she knew the city inside out and it was really fun talking to her. The coffee was the cherry on the top. An absolute must do when you are in Saigon.

I’d like to express my gratitude for yesterday’s tour. Our guide gave us an incredibly detailed introduction to Saigon’s culture and history. She engaged with me actively and answered all my questions patiently. She offered me a new perspective to understand Saigon’s past, present and future. I’m truly thankful for this experience and look forward to visiting this city again. I highly recommend this tour. Cultural experiences rely greatly on professional guides. This guide has an extremely high level of expertise, making the tour absolutely worthwhile. I hope more Chinese visitors can join this wonderful tour.

This was a great way to see the historic sites of District 1 and the history of Vietnam’s colonial occupation over centuries until the reunification of North and South Vietnam. Our guide treated us to excellent Vietnamese coffee and we had a short break at the post office to mail postcards. Definitely recommend this tour to learn more about the city and the larger history of Vietnam.

Highlights

Walk through about 10 top sights in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City with a local guide and hear about Saigon's history, culture and stories only locals know. The route runs from Bach Dang Wharf along Nguyen Hue Street, past the People's Committee Building, the Saigon Central Post Office and the Pittman apartments to the Independence Palace. Along the way, taste a Vietnamese coffee such as coconut or salt coffee at a café popular with locals. There are no souvenir shop stops, and you can join as a small group of up to 10 or as a private tour for your own group.

Program

Walk through downtown Saigon
and hear its history and local stories

This walking tour visits about 10 top sights in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City with a local guide in 2.5 to 3 hours. Starting at Bach Dang Wharf, it continues along Nguyen Hue Street, past the People's Committee Building and the Saigon Central Post Office to the Independence Palace, with stories about the city you won't find in guidebooks. A cup of Vietnamese coffee at a café popular with locals is included.

Stroll Bach Dang Wharf and Nguyen Hue Street

The tour starts at Bach Dang Wharf to learn the background of Saigon. Walk along the riverside to Nguyen Hue Walking Street, the busiest area of the French colonial era, and pass the Cafe Apartment building full of cafés.

Taste Vietnamese coffee at a local favorite

At Cà Phê Muối Chú Long, a café loved by locals, taste a Vietnamese coffee such as coconut coffee or salt coffee (included) while hearing about Vietnam's coffee culture.

Follow French architecture and traces of the war

At the statue of President Ho Chi Minh, learn why "Uncle Ho" is so special to the Vietnamese, and admire the French architecture of the People's Committee Building, often called a "mini Paris city hall". Pass the Municipal Theatre and visit the Pittman (former CIA) apartments, known from the famous helicopter evacuation photo of the Vietnam War.

Inside the Saigon Central Post Office, spot French-era details that most visitors walk past, then pass Saigon Book Street while enjoying a short Vietnamese survival lesson and mini games. The tour ends at the Independence Palace.
