A great trip to Ho Chi Minh city - We were met at the cruise port by Jen and our driver and driven direct to Ho Chi Minh city, where we were taken to the Independence Palace, War Remnants Museum, Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Ho Chi Minh Post Office, in addition to many local food, drink and markets to taste many of the local delicacies. Jen was very informative and very funny with her many interesting facts and stories. We had a great day being shown around by Jen and we would like to thank her for making our day so special and letting us experience so many local foods/ drinks and local life. A great trip for all.

Half day private tour Ho Chi Minh - Our half day private tour with Dao was excellent. We saw the presidential palace, jade pagoda, post office and the Vietnam war museum. We didn’t have time for the lacquer workshop but Dao kindly changed the itinerary to meet our teenagers request for a stop at a 7 11 for snacks! Dao was an excellent, friendly and knowledgeable guide and we greatly appreciated the information she provided on the sights and on the city/Vietnam in general. The van was also very comfortable and well driven. Highly recommended!

A tour guide review of Jen - We just complete a tour of Ho Chi Minh city with our tour guide Jen. We saw the Presidential palace, post office, market at Ben Thanh and the war museum. It was an extremely informative and enjoyable tour and Jen was full of local knowledge and history. She was fun to be with and went out of her way to ensure we were happy and saw what we wanted. I would highly recommend her for any tour.
