Highlights
  • Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral - Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral, built in the late 1880s by French colonists, is one of the few remaining strongholds of Catholicism in the largely Buddhist Vietnam. Located in Paris Square, the name Notre Dame was given after the installation of the statue
    Peaceful Notre Dame in 1959. In 1962, the Vatican conferred the Cathedral status as a basilica and gave it the official name of Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica. Measuring almost 60 metres in height, the cathedral’s distinctive neo-Romanesque features include the all-red brick façade (which were imported from Marseille), stained glass windows, two bell towers containing six bronze bells that still ring to this day, and a peaceful garden setting in the middle of downtown Ho Chi Minh City District 1.

Great tour with an amazing tour guide - Had a fantastic time in Ho Chi Minh City on this tour. We got to see all the major sights including the War Remnants Museum which was amazing. Our tour was made extra special by our very pleasant and accommodating tour guide Anna. She was amazing. She spoke good English, she introduced us to the Vietnamese most popular meals and allowed us to customize our tour to our specific interests. She also arranged and paid for a taxi to take us to massage appointments the next day. She ensured that we got pick up and brought back safely to our ship as if she was with us. Very nice of her! I would highly recommend the tour and Anna as your tour guide.

Great time in Ho Chi Minh City - Communication prior to the tour was very good and our tour guide Lawrence (Luat) sent me a photo of himself and the sign with my name on it so we could find him when getting off the ship. We didn’t have a lot of time due to needing to be back to the ship for an early departure but Lawrence and the driver made sure we saw all the places that were on our list. Lawrence was very knowledgeable on the area and answered all our questions. Since we were short on time, Lawrence suggested we have Banh Mi for lunch to save time and they were delicious. I would highly recommend this tour!

Anna made this Cruise Excursion THE BEST!! - Anna, Anna, Anna!! What an amazing tour guide! AND together with the best driver ever ... This cruise excursion was perfect. Our ship docked in Phu My, which is at least a 1.5 hour drive into Ho Chi Mihn City BUT with Anna 'on top of things', we were able to see ALL the sights, without feeling rushed and still had time to enjoy a delicious lunch. The tour guide operator was always prompt with communication but the day before we arrived, Anna contacted us as our tour guide ... and made sure we had ALL our questions answered. Anna's knowledge of the sites and history is top-notch. Her English is fluent. She was flexible and accommodating with our requests and made us feel comfortable and welcome in this beautiful city. We had a group of 10 and the LARGE minibus was super-clean and easy to get in and out. While there were many highlights, our lunch at a small local restaurant was the best. Time to rest and talk about all the sites we'd seen. And finally, Anna made sure to time things perfectly so we arrived back at our ship well before 'all aboard'. Anna, thank you! We will remember you for your kindness and compassion ... and highly recommend others book this tour!

An Amazing journey in Oh Chi Min - We wanted a tour that mixed history, with modern life and culture. Kay our guide gave us a wonderful overview of the Vietnam conflict through the lenses ordinary Vietnamese people along with great information on current events and the sites. He customized our tour to include a Ichellin Star pho lunch and views of old and new Oh Chi Min. His English was impeccable. Great day.
