Flexibility with a private tour guide - We were able to customize our tour. We skipped the attractions we were not interested in and added a lunch stop at a 5 star restaurant. Our tour guide was friendly and eager to please. His English was a little difficult to understand but he is young and I’m sure it will improve with experience.

Outstanding half day tour of Saigon - Our guides were excellent- Typhoon Honey was the lead guide and the driver Quan. Thphoon was very knowledgable and an excellent guide. The vehicle was excellent. This was an Outstanding half day day of Saigon - hitting the highlights of the central square near the cathedral/ post office and then war museum, presidential office/ palace/ temples and the local market. We highly recommend Typhoon and Quan and the half day tour.

Fantastic day in Ho Chi Minh - Trung and Typhoon Honey made sure we had the most amazing day exploring Ho Chi Minh. Skipping lines and entrance fees all included, we went at our own pace and Typhoon made the tour fun for the kids too. We saw so much and learnt so much about the city. Fantastic day thank you. The van was so comfortable and very well organised no waiting around. Highly recommend

Excellent - The tour was great and really learned a lot about the history of Vietnam especially at the War Remnants Museum. I really enjoyed the tour and thanks to Peter for also giving more info about the History of Ho Chi Minh City. Thanks Thien Phu for a great tour…. We will definitely come back to Vietnam and explore more about the country. In my home language ‘Ke a leboga’ (meaning Thank you in Setswana one of South African languages).

I also thank the driver for his exceptional driving skills and getting us to the places quickly and on time.

Recommend if short on time - We highly recommend this tour if you’re short on time but wanting to see the diverse culture and influences on this city. From war memorial to Buddhist temple and old markets, Typhoon Honey and Loc showed us the sights in the comfort of an air conditioned van and knowledgeable stories of the history of the town. They were both so friendly and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.
