A great in Saigon - Tony was excellent. He was well informed, communicated very well and made us much more knowledgeable about Saigon and the history of Viet Nam. We didn’t feel like tourists and thoroughly enjoyed our day.

Informative half day tour about Ho Chi Minh - Did a half day trip with Qui who was an excellent English speaking guide who was very knowledgeable in providing the history of Ho chi Minh City, the Vietnam war and other places of interest. It wasn't entirely a walking tour but was accompanied with driver who helped in dropping off at the prominent places of visit in Ho Chi Minh City/ Saigon and picking us up to go to other places. The places visited in the trip were the Independence palace, War Remnants Museum, post office,Jade Pagoda and Saigon Skydeck.

Great tour - Loved the 1-on-1 experience. We got to have more personal conversations and ask all of our questions. The guide was very knowledgeable and welcoming. It was the best way to get a feel for the city.

Disappointing - We are on a cruise and have taken private guided tours at all the stops. Sadly we felt that although the guide was very pleasant that his knowledge of English was not good enough to give us the tour we would have expected.
