- The Independence Palace - Reunification Palace was the base of Vietnamese General Ngo Dinh Diem until his death in 1963. It made its name in global history in 1975. A tank belonging to the North Vietnamese Army crashed through its main gate, ending the Vietnam War. Today, it’s a must-visit for tourists in Ho Chi Minh City.
The palace is like a time capsule frozen in 1975. You can see two of the original tanks used in the capture of the palace parked in the grounds. Reunification Palace was the home and workplace of the French Governor of Cochin-China. It has lush gardens, secret rooms, antique furniture, and a command bunker. It’s still in use to host important occasions in Ho Chi Minh, including APEC summits.

Top notch. Ask for Quinn if you want a fun insightful, flexible tour - Can’t say enough good. Take the private tour and skip waiting for people on a bus.
Quinn is very insightful about Vietnam history and eager to share.
Very flexible. I was able to stop and buy a battery bank.
All Quinn’s ideas were top notch. We asked to see War Remnants and glad to have gone but wicked hot. No AC.
Quinn took us to a place or two and then Back in AC.
Best day ever on our trip.
Thoroughly enjoyed.

Hitting Up my Homie - Tony was my tour guide. He treated me as a homie, showed me around his neck of woods and was super hospitable. Nothing more needs to be said.

An Outstanding Professional Guide! - Simply enjoyable! Our tour started by Tony sitting down and talking about the plan for the day and asking if we wanted to change anything! He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the stops on the tour. We had a separate driver so Tony was able to accompany us at every stop. He was also very attentive to our needs during the course of the tour. The day was like a history lesson! He made sure he answered all our questions. His knowledge of Ho Chi Minh City is extraordinary and he was a joy to spend the day with. At the end of the tour he asked if we were satisfied with the day and what he could have done better.
