- 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.

Tour with Tony - Today I went on a full day tour with lunch provided using the Viator service. I had Tony who was very kind, engaging, and knowledgeable on HCMC and its history throughout every stop we made. I would recommend both Viator and Tony as your tour guide if you want to see the main attractions of HCMC!

Saigon in Style - Tony provided our group of 4 a hugely entertaining and informative tour of Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City. Being a local gave us a real Vietnamese perspective on life and knowledge of several of the city’s best tourist attractions. He also organised a fantastic set course lunch. The air conditioned van was very comfortable as well. Would highly recommend. A++++
