“Excellent guide” - Me and my family had a few hours between our our cruise ship so we decided to spend those hours in Ho Chi Minh city from Phu My port. Lee Minh was an excellent guide as he was energetic and had detailed knowledge about the city, history as well as Vietnam in general He showed us around the interesting landmarks in the city as well as taking us to local food restaurants and market, local area. In all Lee was a great guide as he was prompt and had a clear interest in the city’s culture and history. Strongly recommend

Don’t miss this opportunity to see Saigon your way. - Wow. Wow. Wow. This tour was top flight with Ms Linh as our guide with a private driver and comfortable car. They took our suggestions for what we wanted to see and then added more that we did not know about that were unmissable. From the terrific communication before, during and after the trip to the War Remnants Museum, independence palace, flower and other markets and lunch, the tour was unforgettable. We visited many more sites as well and had the perfect blend of walking and riding in an air conditioned car. They provided water and we skipped all the lines. This is the best way to see Saigon. Don’t get stuck being herded around. See what you want with these great people.

Great tour of Saigon - Layla was an excellent guide. She tailored the tour for our group and provided lots of interesting information on the history and culture. Our driver was also excellent and safely got us around the chaotic city centre. Great trip and much cheaper than the cruise ship offerings .

Ho Chi Minh City tour - Layla was a brilliant guide and tailored our tour to suit our group. She guided us in the busy city and provided lots of interesting local information. The driver was also excellent safely negotiating the busy streets. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone visiting.

Amazing - The temperature was pleasant for us (from Scotland) but in February it may be considered as a little cold for others.

A great guide on a great tour!!!!!! - Our guide Mia was an absolute joy to be with! Vivacious, thoughtful, knowledgeable, good English, everything you could possibly hope for in a guide. I most sincerely recommend her for your guide!! The tour itself is very comprehensive. It covers a lot in Saigon. The War museum is powerful, the market is frenetic , lunch was great with 6 courses and a nice sampling of Vietnamese food. Great tour with a great guide and driver who was very attentive and a very nice price!!!

Friendly and helpful - Kelvin (tour guide) and Tho (driver) were super friendly, greeted us at the gate bright and early to start our tour in a comfortable SUV. We were able to personalize our tour to drive by the area where my mom used to live in Cholon and spend extra time at the market to look for Vietnamese fresh fruit and dessert. We were able to do a quick stop at the city hall to take some photos of the beautiful area. Thankfully Kelvin was there to help us translate with vendors while shopping, as well as crossing the busy streets full of scooters and motorbikes.

Tour good, guide not so much. - While we enjoyed the sites, we were disappointed in Mia's inability to converse in English. We give her credit for trying but had to Google to find out what we were looking at.
