PHU MY PORT TO SAIGON PRIVATE CAR
Port Pickup & Departure To Saigon
First, we will pick you up from Phu My Harbor. Our driver will wait for you at the port gate with a welcome name board. He makes sure you can recognize him easily. Then, transfer to Ho Chi Minh City.
The distance from Phu My Port to Ho Chi Minh City is 66 km/41 miles. It will take around 1.5-2 hours to travel directly via HCMC-Long Thanh-Dau Giay and QL51 Highways. During the trip, passengers can ask for a stop if they need coffee, a short break, or toilet use.
Finally, you arrive at Ho Chi Minh City and start visiting a group of colonial architectures in the heart of Saigon. This trip will last for one day. You can adjust what attractions you want to see on the itinerary. But we recommend that you visit the following places:
Notre Dame Cathedral & Old Post Office
These constructions were built between 1877 and 1883. Remarkably, every stone used in its creation was shipped from France to Vietnam. Her two 40-meter towers, topped with iron spires, still dominate the city’s skyline.
Reunification Palace
This iconic place should be your next stop on our Phu My Port to Saigon by private car. On April 30th, 1975, the war against America in Vietnam officially ended when tank number 843 of the North Vietnam Army crashed through the gates of what was, at the time, the residence of the President of the Republic of Vietnam.
War Remnants Museum
After that, we will go to visit the War Remnants Museum. It’s formerly known as the Museum of American War Crimes. This is a poignant display of the futility of war.
Some of the black and white photography in the ‘Requiem’ exhibit is particularly touching. They’re dedicated to both foreign and Vietnamese journalists and photographers who perished during the conflict. The courtyard outside contains the spoils of war, namely rusting jets, tanks, and cannons captured from the American military machine.
This place will wrap up your morning. You will have lunch at a local restaurant.
Ben Thanh Market/Binh Tay Market
Keep going from our Phu My Port to Ho Chi Minh City, and you will visit Ben Thanh Market. Ben Thanh is the largest commercial center, where anything and everything is for sale.
If you don’t want to visit Ben Thanh Market, we have an alternative: exploring the great atmosphere around lively Chinatown and getting into the rhythm of the busiest and most colorful scenes of Binh Tay Market.
Thien Hau Pagoda & Trip Back
The trip is wrapped up by a visit to Thien Hau Pagoda. It is known as typical Chinese architecture in Vietnam. Later on, the driver will send you back to Phu My Harbor.
You need to be present at the harbor about 2 hours before the ship departs. Also, it will take 2 hours to drive from Ho Chi Minh to Phu My Port. So we highly recommend transferring back soon after the tour finishes. We should arrive at Phu My Port by 5 PM. End trip.
