Luxury Ho Chi Minh Tours made for you
Embrace the pulsating atmosphere of Vietnam's largest city
The modern, electrifying side of Vietnam with a unique elegance
A booming economy has given Ho Chi Minh city (often still referred to as Saigon) a new energy and lease of life. Socially the city is flourishing with a sophisticated café culture, an exciting dining scene and burgeoning interest in eclectic art.
Ho Chi Minh also has the largest remaining assortment of French architecture, most famously the Notre Dame cathedral, which lends the city’s sprawl a unique elegance. Wide boulevards turn to narrow streets and timeless alleys are a delight to explore along with its ancient pagodas and thriving street markets. The War Remnants Museum in the city and the Cu Chi tunnels outside the city give an insightful but sobering account of Vietnam’s more recent history, and no visit to this country is complete without paying homage to this infamous chapter.
In around two hours, you can also reach the Mekong Delta from Ho Chi Minh. Cruise along winding waterways by sampan (a traditional wooden boat), then step ashore for cycling excursions past sprawling fruit orchards and rice fields. At Hoa Loc village, you’re welcomed into a family home to craft local cakes by hand. Over in the hamlet of An Khanh, see how sticky rice is made using ancestral methods.

A word from one of our experts
Vietnam’s energy is boundless. You can really feel it on the streets of Ho Chi Minh. I remember my first ever moment there; sitting at a local cafe, sipping on traditional Vietnamese coffee and watching people whiz by on the backs of Vespas.
