Ssshhhh it’s a secret! - We loved it. We took a private tour with Khoa & the gang. They were so attentive and very generous, knowledgeable AND have a big love for their city. They took us safely around the districts & shared insights & insides of the history of Saigon. They even got us Bahn Mi & Coffee. Mostly the tour gave us a sense of pride for the future of Vietnam because Khoa & the team are the age of our own kids & they were so professional and fabulous. We highly recommend Secrets of Saigon.

We had the best time!!!!! - We wanted to go to a heap of thrift/vintage shops and wanted to combine that with a Vespa ride. I contacted Vespa a go go and right away they got back to me straight away and were very open to our ideas. They sent me an itinerary and cost and we were on our way the next day. ‘V’ was so lovely, and she directed the group, they managed to find these shops we found on google and they admitted they had never heard of some of these shops, so they were surprised when we got to each one and how good they were. I can’t recommend these guys enough. They create an itinerary to suit your needs and we’re very professional.

Absolutely a must do treat in Ho Chi Minh City! - What a blast! One of the best things we did on our trip to Vietnam. Khoa (Kieran), Hoang, Vy, Vinh and Phuc led us on an adventure filled afternoon, safely guiding us through crazy traffic and showing us the best and least known sights of Ho Chi Minh City. They were fun, safe and professional. We ate and drank interesting, tasty food and drink. Highly recommend!
