- The Independence Palace - Initially developed by the French in 1868 to commemorate the establishment of the colony of Indochina, the Reunification Palace (formerly Independence Palace) as it stands today was constructed during the 1960s. Known in Vietnamese as Dinh Độc Lập or Dinh Thống Nhất, it is famously the symbolic site of the liberation of Saigon by communist forces that reunited the nation on April 30, 1975.
- War Remnants Museum - A must-visit in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City’s War Remnants Museum (Bảo Tàng Chứng Tích Chiến Tranh) serves as a poignant reminder of the horrors of war. The grounds feature American planes, tanks, helicopters, and weaponry captured during the Vietnam War. Pictorial displays cover everything from the My Lai Massacre to the traumas of Agent Orange and the work of war correspondents.
- Central Post Office - This building was constructed when Vietnam was part of French Indochina in the late 19th century. It features Gothic, Renaissance, and French influences. Built between 1886 and 1891, it is now a popular tourist attraction.
- Ben Thanh Market - Located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Ben Thanh Market (Chợ Bến Thành) is more than just a shopping destination. The market is also an architectural landmark, a hub of local Vietnamese life and commerce, and a popular meeting point.

Spectacular - I have watched films about the Vietnam War over time, but none of them has succeeded in translating the dedication, inventiveness and efforts of the Vietnamese army into the guerrilla battles. What is very certain after visiting this goal - it is highly advisable that in these places, as many tourists as possible will see, in fact, a break from the logistics and action of the Vietnamese guerilla army. Experience is unique and unmatched.

Cu Chi Tunnels with a sightseeing tour of Ho Chi Minh City, led by your own personal guide. - Owen Nguyen was fantastic. Spoke excellent English and is extremely knowledgeable. Also, has a great personality. It was very easy to spend the day with him. He knows his material very well. Very smart man. He was by our side for 9 hours. He is a joy! He planned ahead and picked us up at our condo.

Fantastic way to spend the day. - We were picked up on time from our hotel by our guide Huan to start our day journey. Huan was very friendly and his English was very good. We started off by going to the Cu Chi Tunnels followed by lunch in the city and then a combination of walking and driving around the city, where Huan pointed out all the things of significance. Huan is very knowledgeable and the we found it very informative. We finished off the day at the War Remnant's Museum. The tour was well organised and a great way to learn more about Vietnam. I would recommend booking this tour.

Definitely A Fun Full Day! - Beware that traffic is bad in this city so it could take a while to go out to Cu Chi. It was interesting to visit the tunnels and see the history. We also enjoyed visiting the War Museum in the city. The place tour was just Ehhh! Our guide James was awesome though. Kept us entertained and informed.

Very good. - At the beginning it seemed that Viator had forgotten us; no email, no call, any kind of confirmation. So we decided to call them and it was clear that if we would not have done so, we would have missed our tour.
After that, everything was great: the guide picked us up right on time, van and driver were very good, guide was friendly and nice and had a very good level of knowledge about places, history and things we saw.
I would recommend this tour and this guide, who we called Japan.
