The journey starts early with a hotel pickup, where your driver and guide will meet you. It takes approximately 45 minutes to drive to the Buu Long Pagoda, located in the suburbs of HCMC. The distance from there to the city center is about 20 kilometers.

The beautiful Buu Long Pagoda in District 9 is the first stop of the Ho Chi Minh City Tour Full Day. Because of the mixture of Thai, Indian, and Vietnamese styles, this pagoda is often called a "Miniature Thailand." You may spend your time looking at the lovely patterns, peaceful lotus ponds, as well as enormous Buddha figures. The tranquil location is perfect for both deep thought and taking pictures.

After that, head to Giac Lam Pagoda. From Buu Long Pagoda, it takes roughly 33 kilometers and 1 hour and 9 minutes to reach there. The Giac Lam Pagoda is the oldest in Ho Chi Minh City. It was established in the 18th century. There is an old pagoda, a tall Bodhi tree, and some stunning pictures that depict how Vietnamese Buddhists live. The tour guide will tell you what the things symbolize and how the pagoda fits within the community.

The third destination of the Ho Chi Minh city tour full-day program is the Reunification Palace, a landmark of historical significance, famously known for its main role during the end of the Vietnam War.
It served as the residence and workplace of the government of the President of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
You may view artifacts from a different time in the halls, such as old furniture, presidential offices, and the battle command room with old maps and communication equipment.
The architecture is beautiful, a blend of traditional Vietnamese and modernist designs that tells a story about getting political and mingling cultures.
This palace is not just a museum; it's a key location in the battle where the war's end was symbolized by a North Vietnamese tank crashing through its gates in 1975.

On your journey, you will stop at the War Remnants Museum. The War Remnants Museum and the Reunification Palace are both in District 1 and are easy to get to from each other.

Inside, you will witness an amazing illustration of the terrible things that happen during battle. The displays feature images, military gear, and anecdotes from both soldiers and civilians.

Even though it can be hard, the museum is a very significant place to learn about Vietnam's history and the fortitude of its people. It sends a strong message about how important peace is by depicting the terrible things that happened during the war and how Agent Orange has affected people for a long time.

Your final attraction is the bustling Ben Thanh Market, which is also in the center of District 1, a short walk from these historical sites.

A must-visit for anyone traveling in Ho Chi Minh City. You can purchase souvenirs and handcrafted goods, and enjoy some street food snacks at a bargain price at Ben Thanh Market.

As the day comes to an end, you'll transfer back to your hotel. Before we say goodbye, our driver and guide will stop for a few minutes for a quick check inside the vehicle, just to make sure nothing of yours is left behind.

If we want to ensure that everything's good to go, we'll say goodbye and see you on the next trip.
