A good day out. - A lovely day with Leon and his trusty driver. Met at port gate as planned and altered plans due to my wife's dodgy knee. He kept walking to a minimum and eliminated stairs almost completely. First was the post office followed by the cathedral then onto the war remnants museum. Then to a war veterans shop to acquire a lacquered picture before a veggy lunch of Pho at a small, but pleasant restaurant. Despite the heavy rain and traffic returned us to our ship 🚢 in ample time. Our thanks to our hosts for the day.

Ho Chi Minh City Private Tour with Tap - My wife and I had an incredible experience with our tour guide, Tap. Tap was very informative and shared a great deal of his culture with us. He took us to an authentic Vietnamese restraunt and bought us lunch along with Vietnamese coffee. Tap even found a local dress shop for my wife. This tour exceeded all of my expectations. I highly recommend this tour with Tap as your guide!

A fantastic tour of Ho Chi Minh City! - We had a wonderful tour of the highlights in Saigon with our fabulous guide Hao. He was in constant communication with us prior to the tour, ensuring that we were well informed of what to expect, and that our interests were well catered for. We visited the Jade Pagoda, the post office, the reunification palace and the war museum, before he took us to the best local places for pho, banh xeo, banh mi and the most aromatic Vietnamese coffee we had ever tasted. Nothing was too difficult for Hao, and he even took us to the local market to pick up some five spice powder, which we requested for! All in all, it was an enjoyable tour, made all the more special because of Hao’s enthusiasm and passion. Thank you very much for showing us Saigon in a few hours. We will be back for sure!

Seeing Saigon - A great day exploring Ho Chi Minh, Saigon. Our tour guide Kain was excellent. As we were driving to the city he explained the history and culture of his country. Our first stop was the War Remnants Museum. Although it was a sombering experience it was a great reminder of the tragedy of war. Many innocent Vietnamese people were killed, many children born with birth defects and many suffered from long term health effects due to Agent Orange. We then traveled to Independence Palace which was rebuilt after the original French Colonial Structure was destroyed. It was a very beautiful building designed by a Vietnamese architect. The Cathedral of Notre Dame is in the process of restoration so we were not able to see the structure. The Post Office was a great structure to see. Much of the interior is still intact but due to the decrease in letter mailing there are many portions repurposed as shops. The culinary aspect of our tour was remarkable! We had lunch at a local restaurant, Pho-Mien-Ga Ky Dong followed by ‘egg coffee’. The day was enjoyed by all of us.
