What To Expect
The Independence Palace
Surrounded by royal palm trees, the dissonant 1960s architecture of this government building and the eerie mood that accompanies a walk through its deserted halls make it an intriguing spectacle. The first Communist tanks to arrive in Saigon rumbled here on 30 April 1975 and it’s as if time has stood still since then. The building is deeply associated with the fall of the city in 1975, yet it's the kitsch detailing and period motifs that steal the show.
War Remnants Museum
Formerly the Museum of Chinese and American War Crimes, the War Remnants Museum is consistently popular with Western tourists. Few museums anywhere convey the brutal effects of war on its civilian victims so powerfully. Many of the atrocities documented here were well publicised, but rarely do Westerners hear the victims of US military action tell their own stories. While some displays are one-sided, many of the most disturbing photographs illustrating US atrocities are from US sources, including those of the infamous My Lai Massacre.

1.00The tour didn't happened, without any previous information, despite hotel pick up was confirmed according to the voucher. Poor experience. Don't recommend at all.

5.00Thai Nguyen was an excellent and thoughtful tour guide. Very informative and caring. He was very prepared and worked hard. It’s unfortunate that Viator tours always have a required trip to a market.

3.00Covered most of the key sights of the city; nice restaurant for lunch. However the guide didn’t cover everything the tour was supposed to. When we asked him, he said he could take us to the other sights if we wanted.
