Our tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in downtown Ho Chi Minh City (District 1). If you stay outside district 1, you will need to arrange on your own the transport to our meeting point. From there, we'll hop into a bus and begin our exploration of the city.

Our first stop will be the Independence Palace, also known as the Reunification Palace, built on the site of the former Norodom Palace. The Independence Palace is a famous landmark in Ho Chi Minh City and was designed by the architect Ngo Viet Thu.

Next, we'll admire the beautiful structures from the French Colonial era, such as the Notre Dame Cathedral and the historic Central Post Office. We'll then visit the remarkable War Remnants Museum, which has a vast display covering both the Indochina wars.

Afterward, we'll have lunch at a local restaurant.

In the afternoon, we’ll transfer to the bustling Big Market, known locally as Cho Lon, where you can immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere and explore a variety of goods ranging from fresh produce to traditional Vietnamese crafts. Adjacent to the market is Thien Hau Pagoda, a stunning 19th-century Chinese temple dedicated to the sea goddess Mazu. Here, you can admire the intricate architecture, colorful murals, and beautiful incense coils hanging from the ceiling, creating a serene and mystical ambiance.

Next, we will continue to Bach Dang Harbor. After checking in and getting your waterbus tickets, find your seat, and the boat will depart. During the trip, you'll enjoy unique views of the city's most iconic commercial buildings, including the Vinhomes Central Park urban area, the magnificent Landmark 81 tower, the Bitexco Financial Tower, and the green and peaceful District 2. Many stunning moments await you.

Discover the soul of this land – the Saigon River by waterbus. You may find many wonders and gain a more accurate view of the land once called the Paris of Indochina or the Pearl of the Far East.

Afterward, we'll transfer you back to your hotel in District 1 or to the meeting point, concluding the trip around 18:00 PM.
