Hello! I am Henry, a licensed guide specializing in private shore excursions for cruise passengers. I have worked with Toursbylocals since 2014, dedicated to bringing customers exceptional experience, personalised service, and safety. I focus strongly on private, one-day experiences for cruise guests who want to make the most of their limited time ashore. I design my tours carefully around ship schedules, monitor arrival times, and always ensure a safe, relaxed return to port well before all-aboard time. Outside of guiding, I enjoy street food, walking, history, religion... I genuinely enjoy meeting travelers from different backgrounds and helping them feel comfortable exploring Vietnam, even if they only have one day ashore.

Overview of your Ho Chi Minh City tour

Experience Ho Chi Minh City as it transitions from daylight into evening, when the city’s energy softens and its lights begin to glow. This sunset experience blends historic landmarks, skyline views, and cultural traditions into a relaxed and immersive evening. From colonial-era architecture and meaningful historical sites to sweeping sunset views above the city, Saigon reveals different layers of its character as the day fades. Traditional performing arts offer a glimpse into local heritage, while a leisurely evening on the river allows you to enjoy Vietnamese cuisine alongside illuminated cityscapes. Designed at an unhurried pace, this experience captures Saigon’s atmosphere after sunset and offers a balanced mix of culture, scenery, and refined evening charm.

Your Ho Chi Minh City tour itinerary

our journey begins at 2:00 PM with a convenient hotel pickup. We start with a scenic drive through the historic French Quarter, pausing for photos at Saigon's most iconic architectural landmarks. From there, we dive beneath the river through Southeast Asia’s longest underwater tunnel to reach the modern city center. You will ascend to the observation deck of Landmark 81, Vietnam’s tallest tower, to witness a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of the city as the sun begins to set. After taking in the views, we return to the heart of downtown to experience a traditional Water Puppet Show, a masterpiece of Vietnamese cultural storytelling. To conclude your evening, you will board a luxury cruise for a delicious dinner on the water. Enjoy live music and the magic of Saigon’s illuminated skyline from the river before the tour concludes at approximately 10:00 PM.
