Great day in Ho Chi Minh City - Lyn was awesome. She arrived promptly at our designated meeting spot. On our way to Ho Chi Minh she gave us lots of great information about the area and answered our questions thoroughly. Lyn was very accommodating to help us craft our day to meet our needs. She even helped us surprise a friend’s brother at the Ben Thanh Market by communicating with the locals to find his shop. She was very efficient navigating through the crowds at the attractions. We loved our day Lyn!!

A good guide really makes a tour - Our guide, Liam, did a wonderful job bringing us around Ho Chi Minh City. The day prior, he gave very detailed instructions of where we could go and even suggestions for the weather. Both him and our driver were punctual to the cruise dock and provided water upon picking us up. They were very flexible and catered to our choices in sightseeing. Liam was extremely informative the whole day, giving an unbiased history of Vietnam's culture and political growth through and after the war, along with facts about every place we went. He was also constantly providing us with food and snacks throughout the day, to the point where we were too full to even think about dinner. We had an amazing time!

Great Tour, Driver and Tour Guide - Comprehensive overview of Ho Chi Minh City. Our excellent tour guide, Jayden, was very positive, helpful, knowledgeable, a great communicator and very accommodating to our needs and wants. Our driver had a very clean car, was a terrific driver and we loved the AC too. The pre tour communication with the tour operator and tour guide was excellent, responsive and timely. Highly recommend!

Great private tour for Holland America Noordam tourists. Picked up and dropped off in the port. - This is a great private tour to see Saigon. We came with Holland America Noordam. Picked up from gate and dropped to the same place. We have seen palace, post office, bunker, tried vietnamese cofee, had a great lunch with local cousine in a hidden gem. Visited the Book street (my favorite place), art gallery and market. Bruno was excellent guide with perfect English, sense of humor and very knowledgeable.

Great tour in Saigon - Truly the most numbable part of the excretion was the group leader Hazel. Hazel is a young woman and so knowledgeable literally about everything Vietnam. We learned so much driving in the car in between each and every place. My favorite place was the Independence Palace. There were six of us in the band was beautiful which made the 90 minute drive each way from the ship port easy. We had a great day and really enjoyed learning so much about this beautiful country.

Best alternative to high priced cruise excursions - Hazel was the best! She was knowledgeable, and tailored our day to our likes. She was so gracious and sent way out of her way to accommodate any requests. Kudos to our driver who mastered the crazy streets and highways of Saigon and to and from our cruise ship to Ho Chi Minh City.

Great tour of Saigon - One of the best tours we’ve taken on our entire trip. Ana was a complete professional and completely adapted everything we wanted to do per our request. We saw everything the tour offered and then some. Had a delicious. Pho lunch. The coffee bar she took us to was unique in that it had Koi fish ponds where you could feed the fish while enjoying your refreshment. Our driver, Toan, was exceptional, managing the crazy traffic, always being there within minutes to pick us up. The car was always cool and inviting. Even brought us a kumquat iced tea to quench our thirst. Even though it was a very warm day we were exceptionally comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend that whoever comes to Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City, take this tour.

Great excursion to Saigon - Guide did everything he could to make our trip enjoyable. Tour was customizable, and guide made sure he covered our suggestions. He even added an additional stop. Driver provided bottled water. Vehicle was clean and comfortable, just a few minutes late to port. Guide understood English well, and we were able to understand most all of what he was telling us. I cannot think what guide could have down to make our day more enjoyable.
