Itinerary
Discover the major highlights of bustling Ho Chi Minh City on your private vintage Jeep, still commonly referred to as Saigon. The largest city in Vietnam, Saigon is a harmonious combination of the old and the new. Traveling past an endless stream of bicycles, trishaws, and motorbikes, you’ll see colorful markets selling everything from antiquities to French baguettes, and learn about the architectural landmarks of Saigon.
The History Museum houses an excellent collection of artifacts showing the evolution of Vietnam’s diverse cultures, from the Bronze Age Dong Son civilization to Cham, Khmer, and modern day Vietnam. Here you’ll find Cham art, ceramics and traditional dress, and can enjoy a short performance of water puppetry – once staged solely as entertainment for the royal family.
Continue travelling past Saigon’s many landmarks and including Pass Cholon, also known as Chinatown.
Proceed to the 18th-century Thien Hau Temple, where the aroma of incense hangs in the air from burning spirals suspended from the temple’s ceiling, and ceramic friezes line the roof of the inner courtyard.
Next, you’ll briefly visit the Minh Phuong lacquerware workshop or free time for shopping at a local market.
Your final stop is at the former Presidential Palace, now known as Reunification Hall, made famous when a North Vietnamese tank crashed through its front gates on April 30, 1975 signaling the end of the Vietnam War. Tour the reception and dining rooms of the president’s quarters, and the basement with its archaic American-made telecommunications equipment and strategic military maps lining the walls.
Enjoy a drink at the Blank Lounge on 75th-76th floor of Landmark 81 before joining the drive back to the pier, with plenty to contemplate during the ride.
Please note: The above itinerary can be completely personalized custom designed to meet your expectation & requirements. There is extra port fee to be added if you would like the pick up at gangway.
