Pick up from your hotel and begin your city tour with a visit to the Independence Palace (formerly the Presidential Palace), the former headquarters of the Saigon Government during the American War.

Next, explore the Notre Dame Cathedral, a red brick church with twin spires, inspired by its Parisian counterpart. From there, walk across the square to the Central Post Office, a masterpiece designed by French architect Gustav Eiffel.

The tour continues with a visit to the War Remnants Museum, where you will gain a deeper understanding of the US invasion of Vietnam and its profound impact on the country's people. This museum is an essential stop for those interested in the country’s history. 

On the way back, drive through Dong Khoi Street (formerly Rue Catinat) to admire some of the most beautiful French colonial buildings, including the Opera House and the Hotel de Ville. These splendidly restored landmarks remain two of the finest examples of French architecture in Saigon.

End of the half-day tour.
