Know More about this tour


The Jeep will takes you to The Reunification Palace, also known as Independence Palace, is listed as a historical monument by witnessing great changes of Ho Chi Minh Citys history (formerly known Saigon) and having in itself the essence of Eastern culture. Throughout the heroic battles, this amazing work of architecture had witnessed almost every high and low of the Vietnamese war.
Saigon Central Post Office was also built in the 1880s based on the design of Gustave Eiffel a famous French architect.
Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon is a cathedral located in the downtown of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Established by French colonists who initially named it Cathdrale Notre-Dame de Sagon, the cathedral was constructed between 1863 and 1880. It has two bell towers, reaching a height of 58 meters (190 feet).
TheWar Remnants Museumwas originally opened in September 1975, it displays old military equipment and other related items from the Vietnam War.In the courtyard we will find some larger exhibits including a F5A fighter and a UH1-Huey helicopter
Jade Emperor Pagoda is the 100-year-old pagoda built by Vietnams local Chinese Cantonese community. It was visited by former President Obama in 2016, and listed at the top of Ho Chi Minh attractions
Although originally designed in early 1965 by the firm Curtis and Davis, their design had only called for three stories and due to the increased U.S. commitment in Vietnam, a larger building was needed. As such in November 1965 the firm Adrian Wilson and Associates were selected to redesign the building. The new design originally called for four stories but was then raised to six, and was built between 1965 and 1967 by the American construction company RMK-BRJ under the direction of the U.S. Navy Officer in Charge of Construction RVN. RMK-BRJ employed a workforce of 500 Vietnamese, primarily using materials from the U.S. due to the scarcity of commodities in South Vietnam at the time. Despite that the sand and gravel used in the concrete mix, along with the walkway tiles, and the bricks used in all the interior walls were sourced from Vietnam. The embassy was opened on September 29, 1967, after more than two years of construction and cost a total of 2.6 million dollar
The Saigon Opera House was custom built in 1897 by the French architect Eugene Ferret. It is one of the top venues in Vietnam to listen to opera and classical music.
Dong Khoi is known as a million-dollar street or where land is more expensive than gold. There are houses for sale up to VND 1.5 billion per sqm, setting a new record high in Vietnam.
Being the biggest road of Ho Chi Minh City, Nguyen Hue Walking Street spans 670 meters from the Ho Chi Minh City Peoples Committee edifice to Bach Dang Wharf, respectively, and measures 64 meters in width. Whats different about this compared to any streets in the area is that it is installed with automatically-operated mist-emitting systems and lined with over 200 trees and 122 large tubs of flowering creepers. That creates a greenish landscape for the whole street and eases your mind whenever you come there.
Ho Chi Minh Square can be found in the middle of District 1, right in the city centre, and is surrounded by beautiful French colonial style buildings. On this square you will find a statue of Uncle Ho, which was placed to honour the 100th birthday of Ho Chi Minh City Peoples Committee (City Hall).The City Hall is a popular place for tourists to take pictures and is especially beautiful around dusk, when many of the landmarks are lit by soft lighting. On the left flank of the square you find the five-star Rex Hotel which is also designed by French architects and was home to International journalists during the Vietnam War. A state of the art shopping mall with all international brands, a food court and some luxury hotel rooms can be found on the right side (also French colonial architecture).
Bitexco Financial Tower at a height of 262 meters is the tallest building in Ho Chi Minh City up to date. With design concept is taken from the shape of a lotus bud, the Vietnam national flower, Bitexco Financial Tower is not merely a building which is covered in glass and steel, but also a symbol of beauty and the rapid development of Ho Chi Minh City economy, a key economic region in Vietnam
Ben Thanh Market is one of the oldest markets in Ho Chi Minh City. It had appeared before the French invaded Saigon (former name of Ho Chi Minh City), built at the beginning of the 17th century for small traders to exchange their goods on Ben Nghe Rivers bank, next to a harbor near Gia Dinh Citadel.Ben Thanh Market is one of the busiest local markets in Ho Chi Minh City that you should visit to enjoy famous Vietnamese foods and shopping for lovely souvenirs. You will be definitely amazed by plenty of colorful kiosks where they sell foods, gifts, clothes and thousands of other items here.

      We had the best tour, Hoa our guide was not only knowledgeable but funny and was able to tailor the tour for our needs. They supplied water and beer and for a hot day that was really needed. I suggest if you want to see Ho Chi Minh on a private tour this is the one.

      Bùi Văn Hải is a wonderful person who had lots of patience and supporting my father. As he has some problem with the pain in his legs. So it was thoughtful of him who help and gave time to rest in between and managed to explained in details very well in concise. I appreciated him for his spare time to accompany me with the translation of the language when I want to buy from the local Vietnamese stuff. Also, it was so thoughtful of him and his driver to have the photo frame made with the memories of the father-daughter trips. Once again, that’s thoughtful of him, thanks for your patience and nice to meet you.

      The guide had a lot of knowlegde of the city, and spoke a very good english. the tour was good, a bit long time at the palace. we liked driving and seeing the city. The temple was interesting, as well as the postoffice. We were amazed to se how the laque-pictures are made. We made the visit at the war museum short, because of the kids. The best thing was driving and seeing the city and a nice surprice at the end.

      Our tour guide Hai and driver Nam picked us up in our hotel at the scheduled time. They were both very friendly and helpful. I appreciate how Hai explained every story behind each place that we visited during our Saigon City tour. He also helped us around Ben Than Market and made sure that we get the best price. I was also blown away by Hai's thoughtfulness when he surprised us with a present before they dropped us back to our hotel. It was framed photographs of me and my son during our half-day city tour. Will definitely recommend this tour!

      We had an absolutely fantastic time during the Ho Chi Minh City Private Half-Day Tour by U.S. Army Jeep! Our guide was not only incredibly friendly but also impressively knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the city's history and landmarks. The tour allowed us to see some of the city's most iconic places, such as the Independence Palace, Central Post Office, Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral, War Remnants Museum, Emperor Jade Pagoda, Saigon Opera House, Dong Khoi Street, Nguyen Hue Street, and Ben Thanh Market. The experience was truly unforgettable, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the vibrant beauty of Ho Chi Minh City with a passionate guide who goes above and beyond to make the tour special.
