Unique Saigon Adventure With An Expert Guide

Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon before 1975 April 30th, attracts travelers with its historical and colonial sites, such as Notre Dame Cathedral, Saigon Central Post Office, Saigon Opera House, and Hotel Continental, dating back hundreds of years, when the French were still around in the Indochina region. This city was also considered the Pearl of the Far East in the past, and now is called the "melting pot" where people come from all over the Vietnam countryside: North, Central, and South. They move here with the hope of changing their lives or, at least, having their children receive better education and healthcare, and, most importantly, job opportunities. Your private full-day excursion in Ho Chi Minh City with a local expert will make your day memorable, with insider untold stories and off-the-beaten-path places only locals know. You will be taken to see all the landmarks, the local market, temples, and pagodas. I can customize the tour according to your requests.
