Our Jeep tour offers an authentic day-in-the-life experience, showcasing the lesser-known parts of the city. You’ll explore the maze of backstreets, tiny alleyways, local homes, schools, random markets, and even the black market, seeing where and how locals live, work, and play. Unlike other travel companies that only highlight the beautiful and advise you to avoid the bad and the strange, we provide a comprehensive view of your destination.
We visit and stop at the must-see landmarks of our beautiful city, including Notre Dame, the Post Office, the Reunification Palace—the heart of South Vietnam, and the 300-year-old Buddhist and Taoist temples of Ngoc Hoang. The open-air Jeep will take you to the Thich Quang Duc monument, the flower market, the narrow streets of the old town, and the enchanting Chinatown. You’ll visit Binh Tay Market, drive around Chinatown, and pass through the Saigon River tunnel to District Two, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Saigon City (Ho Chi Minh City).
