Fun short walking tour of Q1 - My girlfriend and I had a fun day with Eddie - we walked around district 1, saw the highlights, and got to chat about day to day life in HCMC. Keep in mind that the last stop is a self-guided experience.

Start you HCMC adventure like this and you’ll enjoy the city so much more! - We did a private half-day walking tour of Ho Chi Minh City at the start of our Vietnam trip and it was a great introduction to the city. Tracey was knowledgeable, engaging, and paced the tour perfectly. She made it enjoyable for our whole family, including two teenagers. A fantastic way to see the city and get oriented early in our travels and especially for how to approach crossing the street (thanks Tracey 😉). Highly recommended

Good way to start the trip! - We had a great tour in Ho Chi Minh City with our local guide named Eddie! He was very friendly and knowledgeable, bringing the city’s history and culture to life. He also gave us excellent local recommendations for food and things to do. It felt like we were being shown around by a local friend. Highly recommend!

Not the best experience - Our guide was alright, but unfortunately the itinerary isn’t very good. They take you to touristy spots and “call it done” without really giving you a really local experience. Definitely not worth the money that we paid.
