Our adventure begins at Binh Tay Market, a bustling hub of activity. From there, we'll discover the serenity of the Holy Lady Temple, a hidden gem nestled amidst the city's chaos, offering a peaceful retreat and insight into Vietnamese religious practices. Continuously, we'll step back in time at the historic Renunification Palace, a symbol of Vietnam's tumultuous past and the site of significant historical events. Marveling at the architectural beauty of the Saigon Central Post Office, we'll admire its elegant French-inspired design before delving into the spiritual realm at the Jade Emperor Pagoda, where intricate sculptures and incense-filled halls create an atmosphere of reverence. A visit to a local Lacquerware factory offers a glimpse into traditional craftsmanship before we delve into the poignant history of the Vietnam War at the War Remnants Museum & Vietnam History Museum, where a vast collection of artifacts and exhibits chronicle the rich tapestry of Vietnam's past.

Our tour guide Luc was amazing and was a mine of information. We had an excellent driver who held the door open for us at every stop and made sure we were safe getting on to the pavement. He was extremely courteous. We felt like royalty. All the stops were interesting. Only downside, we felt pressured to buy in the lacquer shop.
The cyclo ride was a great experience and both drivers delivered us safely through the chaos of Ho Chi Minh City!
The War Remnants Museum was a very sobering experience but well worth a visit.
Lunch was a buffet with a good selection even for the fussiest of eaters.
Luc made sure we were happy throughout the whole day and even checked the weather forecast so we were inside when it rained!
He made an excellent guide. All in all this was great value for money and we saw and experienced things that we would not have been aware of if left to our own devices!
Many thanks
