The tour guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable - We explored several spots around Ho Chi Minh City and visited a local market. If you're traveling solo and don't want to sightsee by yourself, this tour is perfect for you.

We spent a half day exploring Saigon with our tour guide, Ben. - He was punctual, well-informed, and incredibly friendly. Ben's English skills were impressive, which made communication easy. Our highlight was visiting the Reunification Palace. Ben's insights helped us see Saigon's beauty in a new light. The next day, we embarked on a Mekong Tour with Ben as our guide again, and it was another fantastic experience!

Experience the best of Ho Chi Minh City efficiently! - Khang expertly led us through the must-see attractions, providing just the right blend of insights and freedom to wander. The War Remnants Museum left a lasting impression, showcasing impactful war photojournalism. Our visit to the Eiffel-designed Post Office was a delightful stop for sending postcards with unique stamps. Highly recommended, especially for those with limited time!

Mekong delta and Cu Chi Tunnels, best day trip!!! - This was an amazing day out! We did so much, got to learn all about the history of the Vietcong and go through the tunnels. A delicious lunch was provided and a beautiful ride along the Mekong delta on two boats. Definitely do this tour. Maximum was our tour guide and was so informative, friendly and hilarious.

Comprehensive Saigon city tour - Kim is a very good guide to take us around Saigon. She provided us a very thorough description of the independence palace and the background behind it. We also saw the war remnants museum and central post office with her providing us the setting for these visits. Upon our request she was flexible to accommodate our request to view a laquer ware factory even though not in our plan. She also suggested karaoke to keep the kids entertained in the car. Lastly the pagoda temple where we learn how the Chinese influence the religion and beliefs in Vietnamese day to day.
