Small-group Saigon City Tour: 4-Hour Must-see Iconic Landmarks
Overview
Ho Chi Minh City, still often referred to by its original name of Saigon, is a fast-paced city full of contrasts, where street vendors selling fruit and vegetables can be seen next to glitzy, Western-style bars and boutiques. Learn about the city's turbulent past and enjoy glimpses of its fascinating modern-day culture on this city tour. A guide unravels Saigon’s history, from the 1859 capture of the city by the French to the dramatic period of the 1950s, '60s and '70s. You'll see attractions like Reunification Palace, the War Remnants Museum and Central Post Office.
