Keep an eye on your itinerary - The Independence Palace was very interesting but we nearly missed the best part of all, the Secret Weapons Cellar. Our guide Tiger was great, but the tour provider did not give him the same itinerary that is on the Viator site, and this attraction was left off his schedule. He made it right but if I had not been paying attention we would have missed it. the Viet Cong restaurant we were taken to had questionable hygiene and I wasn’t comfortable there. I didn't see much point to the visit. I loved ending the day at the Rex Hotel rooftop bar for a cocktail (drink not included)

Great solo experience, very informative - Went on this tour alone and it exceeded my expectations. The guide was knowledgeable and very approachable, making the whole experience easy and enjoyable. I learned a lot about the city’s wartime history, and the lunch was a nice bonus. Felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout the tour.
