Delicious Felt safe And so much fun
What an amazing experience riding on the back of a Vespa. I thought I’d have to hold on for grim death but my driver An, manoeuvred the bike with ease and before long I had relaxed and enjoyed the ride. Casey was very informative and took us to some amazing places to eat.
This was the best tour. Casey was the best guide and the driver Kha was fantastic. Would recommend this tour everyone, it is a must do in Ho Chi Minh
An exceptional experience with Casey as the tour guide. Thuyen was a sensational driver and not once did I feel unsure, especially in Saigon traffic
Casey was a great guide, full of energy and jokes. The drivers were excellent, I had Bu and he did a great job.
So much fun with exceptional drivers and vespa bikes. Casey arranged the food tour and I can't express how delicious all the food was. We laughed and ate at local spots with the vespa drivers. Best experience in Ho Chi Min. Thank you Kiet, for your safe driving!!
