Ho Chi Minh City Slum Tour - We had a great experience!
The mobility of the bikes and the great hospitality to the guides (Hana, Des and Tran) was amazing. It was a good time to learn about the present of Vietnamese society. Thank you very much.

Nice trio. - It was a good experience to be taken to a place that is not often seen in sightseeing.
The guidance was also polite and enjoyable.
I wanted to see you again.

Quick easy city tour - This was such a great way to see the city in just a couple of hours. Riding on the back of the motorbike gave a really fun, local feel to the experience. My guide Trang was so sweet and kind—she made me feel really comfortable the whole time and shared little bits of insight along the way that added a lot of meaning. I really appreciated her gentle energy and how natural the whole tour felt. If you’re looking for something a bit different that lets you see another side of Saigon, I’d definitely recommend this.

Very different tour - This is a very different tour from the Main stream tours you can do, which makes it much more interesting.
My guide was Phạm Hữu Duy who has been with the company for sometime now, and well experienced and able to share his local knowledge and experience when leading this tour. We cut through ally ways and zigzagged our way across the city - so you will see a part of the city that you certainly don’t usually experience.
A Highly recommended tour.

So cool. What an experience! - This tour went right in the middle of Ho Chi Minh City's beating heart ♥️: the hidden back alleyways where families are hustling for a better life. The team did such an excellent job at immersing us in what life is like in all areas of the city: high rises, and the poorer communities in a sustainable supportive way. We had an amazing time. Highly recommend!

Attentive and valuable experience - I went sightseeing in three spots, and they explained it in an easy to understand and polite way. Also, I'm not a good English speaker, but they spoke slowly with that in mind, which was great. We went out for dinner, but they took us to a local place where local people go, so I think we had an experience that we wouldn't go because we travel normally.
