What a Fun and Engaging Way to Experience Saigon! - Joseph was engaging, inclusive, kind and generous. This is the best free tour I have been on ams I have had several in various countries. Joseph always made sure we were comfortable, hydrated and informed! He surprised us with treats around various areas of our tour, from chilled water to fried bananas and other surprise beverages! He took us to local spots that I wouldn't have experienced otherwise. Would do this tour again in a heartbeat!

Great tour, exceeded our expectations! - We really enjoyed this walking tour with Mike, who was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and many of the buildings that were built by the French and Americans over the years. We wouldn't have gotten any of this knowledge had we just walked on our own aimlessly looking at the buildings along the way. One of the highlights was an old apartment building repurposed for businesses, including an amazing cafe with a variety of delicious coffees available for purchase. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want to discover some of the history of the city and some of the places only the locals know about.

Very nice guide. Speak French well and fun while knowing things. He was well prepared - The guide Joseph spoke good French , he was fun while explaining things well. Several times on the course, cold water bottles were planned. Nice little attention. We recommend it

What a great walking tour - Joseph was a great guide. He was so knowledgeable and shared his knowledge in a fun way. He showed us some well-known sights but also less known (secret) sights. What a great tour.

Joseph is the best!! - From the get go, Joseph was full of energy and proved to be an incredible tour guide. He exceeded expectations in all ways. Brought us to all the right spots to refuel and snack, cool down, have a sip of water, and was full of personal and historical stories that were simply inspiring and heartfelt. Could not recommend more!!
