Note when traveling to Ho Chi Minh<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">While visiting Ho Chi Minh city, keep following things in mind to have a hassle free experience.<\/li>\n<li>Tan Son Nhat International Airport is the major airport where most travelers arrive. However, some other options depending on where you are.<\/li>\n<li>Banks and gold jewelry stores are the most authentic locations in Vietnam to exchange currency. Both places provide great service in Ho Chi Minh City. Gold stores are slightly better with a minor difference.<\/li>\n<li>You can exchange currency at a gold store near Ba Chieu Market whereas the best prices are offered at gold and jewelry stores located near Ben Thanh Market. However, you can also check the most convenient option for your accommodation.<\/li>\n<li>Take a cooking class during your trip to learn authentic traditional cuisines. Food tours are great for finding local hole-in-the-walls but cooking classes are the best way to learn about the local cuisine. It\u2019s like looking under the cuisine\u2019s hood.<\/li>\n<li>If something is quoted in VND, then pay for it in VND. Don\u2019t pay in USD or any other currency because you won\u2019t get a good rate. Hotels and restaurants may accept USD as payment but don\u2019t do it. You\u2019ll be losing money every time so only pay in VND. As described, banks and licensed money changers are the best places to exchange currency in Saigon.<\/li>\n<li>Discover local and hidden gems through food excursions. However, cooking lessons are the best option to learn and taste local food.<\/li>\n<li>You will not get a decent deal if you pay in USD or any other currency so always pay in VND if the price is mentioned in VND. Mostly Hotels and eateries charge the amount in VND but accept US dollars as payment, never do that. You will always lose money if you pay in USD. Banks and registered money changers are the reliable locations to get currency in Saigon.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ho Chi Minh City is the largest metropolitan city in Vietnam. It offers a variety of vibrant bars, clubs, restaurants, natural areas, shopping places, and much more. You can enjoy delicious street food anywhere in the city.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Study More &gt;&gt; Ho Chi Minh City Tour Ho Chi Minh Private Tour Ho Chi Minh Group Tour Ho Chi Minh City was previously known as Saigon, but this was [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2668,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-tours.php","meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ho Chi Minh Tour - Ho Chi Minh Local Tours - Explore Vietnam<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ho Chi Minh tour caters to those looking to spice up their holiday with interesting activities and excursions to the city\u2019s most prominent sites\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/explorevietnam.com.vn\/ho-chi-minh\/tours\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ho Chi Minh Tour - Ho Chi Minh Local Tours - Explore Vietnam\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Ho Chi Minh tour caters to those looking to spice up their holiday with interesting activities and excursions to the city\u2019s most prominent sites\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/explorevietnam.com.vn\/ho-chi-minh\/tours\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Things To Do In Ho Chi Minh\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-10-13T03:52:51+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/explorevietnam.com.vn\/ho-chi-minh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Explore-Vietnam-3-1.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"850\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"500\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\">\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"11 minutes\">\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/explorevietnam.com.vn\/ho-chi-minh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/explorevietnam.com.vn\/ho-chi-minh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/explorevietnam.com.vn\/ho-chi-minh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explorevietnam.com.vn\/ho-chi-minh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explorevietnam.com.vn\/ho-chi-minh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/explorevietnam.com.vn\/ho-chi-minh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2735,"href":"https:\/\/explorevietnam.com.vn\/ho-chi-minh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19\/revisions\/2735"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explorevietnam.com.vn\/ho-chi-minh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/explorevietnam.com.vn\/ho-chi-minh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
