A very good evening tour of HCM with Teo! - I booked this tour last minute just after arriving in HCM and I am so glad I did! I have never been on a motorbike before but my guide Teo was a good driver and I felt very safe. Teo was very friendly and knowledgeable, and it was a nice change from a standard group walking tour. We went round the city for a few hours making various stops, and also for some coffee and food. I saw lots of places I wouldn’t have gone to on my own and would definitely recommend!

Great experience - Great bike tour with Teo as my driver. He is a great tour guide, with excellent communication skills. I learned so much things. Furthermore, he recommended great local food spots! Tour costs 500k vietnamese dong if you require to have a driver and it includes : tips, driver, tour guide (doesn’t include drinks nor food). It is non negociable and you have to accept this to get the bike tour.

Saigon’s history and Food - Great knowledge of Saigon and both T and Tony were really great guides! Really easy peeps to connect with and thank you for sharing knowledge of what goes on in Saigon, past and present. I had a good time with both of them and my girlfriend felt the same way too. Highly recommend to anyone else who wants a more personal touch to their tours!

Tour operators did not show up for the tour - I booked the tour for my wife and myself on this website called guruwalk. It was categorised as a free tour. When I booked the tour I got a WhatsApp message from Binh saying that it will cost VND 500,000 per person. While I did not have an issue paying the money, I did send him a message saying that his tour was listed as a free tour on the website. From that moment on it appears that he had blocked me on WhatsApp and he did not answer any of my calls (or message on the website). He didn’t turn up to pick my wife and me for the tour either. There was no communication from him. It was quite disappointing honestly. Like I said, I didn’t mind paying the money, all I needed was clarity. But It appears that his policy is that no one should ask any questions and we have to pay him what he demands. I do not believe that’s the concept of a “free” tour.
