A wonderful day in Ho Chi Minh City - We had a wonderful experience with our guide, Typhoon Honey. He was not only very funny but very informative. He made it the best tour yet for us. Would highly recommend.

Driver AND Tour Guide is what you want - There are about 20+ private tours of ho Chi Minh City/Saigon. Specifically, I was looking for car service and specific to that a driver which facilitates drop off with you and the English speaking guide. Makes it easy and busy traffic and this fit the bill perfectly. HAN was our Tour guide and she did a great job. Hit all the highlights as per the offering and had flexibility for more or less of what we wanted. I would recommend this tour.

Very worthwhile - Typhoon Honey and Quan, the driver made a great team. Typhoon arrived early at our hotel to pick us up, and he was very friendly, informative and full of good cheer. It was a very enjoyable and efficient way to explore a city that we were unfamiliar with.

Thank you for the fun Typhoon Honey!!! - We had a fantastic time on our tour with Typhoon Honey and Suong (our driver). They brought us to many notable historic sites around Ho Chi Minh City, and Typhoon was both funny and respectful as he shared the beauty and history of his city. We would highly recommend this duo to anyone looking for an exceptional tour experience in HCMC.

City tour with Thyphoon Honey - City tour with Typhoon Honey. Tour guide and driver are very nice, kind. Learn a lot of history, sad to know about all wars and difficulties local people may overcome, but it is nice to see very pungent and developed city

Tour guide Typhoon Honey & our driver were so cool, warm, friendly & happy! - What an impactful & emotional day! So worth it! To understand the horrors of war & how all people suffered shows the importance that we can’t allow these atrocities in the world & must work together for peace everywhere!

What a great snapshot of the city. - Why a great day. A real snapshot of the city and its history. We had a great guide, Typhoon, who was very knowledgeable. Due to our personal interest, we would have liked longer in the War Museum but we will go back.

No show! - Unfortunately, this tour was a complete no-show. No one came to pick us up, and we received no call, text, or any communication at all. We waited 45 minutes at the meeting point before realizing no one was coming, which completely ruined our afternoon. The help desk said the operator was stuck in traffic and after 45 minutes finally said they could not reach them, so they would cancel our tour. Viator issued a refund, but there was no acknowledgment of the inconvenience or the time we lost. Given that we’ve booked many tours through them, we believe some additional credit for a future tour would have been appropriate due to the significant disruption this caused. Very disappointing experience and lack of professionalism.
