Essentials of Vietnam

Arrival at Saigon Tan Son Nhat International Airport. Our tour guide will greet you and help you to transfer to the city

Saigon, or Ho Chi Minh City since 1976, is the economic center of Vietnam, located in the heart of Cochinchina in the Mekong Delta. In its heyday, Saigon was nicknamed "the Paris or the Pearl of the Far East." Since then, the city has lost none of its colonial charm, with its beautiful tree-lined streets, pedicabs, and small street vendors.

Walking tour for the orientation of the historical sites of the city: The former Saigon Post Office with its beautiful iron-framed glass roof, the work of Gustave Eiffel, Notre-Dame Cathedral which is located in the center of a square and therefore well highlighted, Dong Khoi Street (formerly Catinat Street during the time of the French colony of Indochina) with all its luxury boutiques and its liveliness.
