- 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.

Tony is excellent! - Tony was excellent! We had a private tour with him and he really knows his history! He spent the extra time to explain and tell stories. We requested to go to a local coffee shop and he took us to Cheo Leo Cafe to experience traditional coffee making. Thank you Tony!

Senior citizen guests with limited mobility had a great time! - My parents are both 84 yrs old. They had a great time with the tour guide who they described as very pleasant, well spoken in English, and very knowledgeable about the city. He was kind, modifying the tour as they requested to fit their limited mobility (difficulty walking distances). Very pleased!

It is a MUST! - We went on a family tour with Tony. It was such a great experience! Tony was incredibly knowledgeable. We visited some of the most popular sites in Saigon and had a yummy lunch. 10/10 would recommend.
The air conditioned vehicle was a plus on such a hot day. The driver and Tony also made sure that we stayed hydrated. Thank you for a wonderful time!
