Great afternoon with James. Exceeded expectations, with enough time at each location. Viewed the city key locations. - Excellent day with James and his driver Mr. Kim. He was knowledgeable, helpful, passionate, and funny. He possesses a great outlook on life. The trip exceeded all expectations and well run with enough time at each location. It gave a different perspective on a very difficult time. The cathedral was still under construction, so you could only see the outside of some of the finished area, which we knew about before we booked. Be aware that none of the stops are air-conditioned, so bring some extra water or be prepared to buy some.

Great tour! - James was an excellent tour guide and helped us get aquatinted with the city on our first day here! If it’s hot, would recommend bringing a fan as many stops are not air conditioned.

Great intro to HCM city - Great introduction to HCM Pick up at our hotel was prompt, aircon on the bus welcomed Vinh our guide was very knowledgeable and patient with my straggling husband who was totally absorbed by the war museum. It was pretty confronting to see the havoc wreaked on Vietnam. Drop off at Ben T market within walking distance of the Bitexco financial tower for a fabulous View of the city
