Oliver was a charming and well educated guide and we thoroughly enjoyed spending time with him shortly after arriving in Saigon. Many highlights in the tour and a great way to appreciate the city
We enjoyed a fantastic tour with our guide Hieu, who took us to the popular landmarks as well as the ‘real’ side of Saigon, visiting markets, meeting people and finding out the fascinating history about the city. Strongly recommended!
An outstanding experience, and very well organized, she was most prompt and courteous whose in depth knowledge was astonishing
My husband and I did a half-day Highlights and Hidden Gems tour with Thien while we were in Saigon. The tour was great! Thien is extremely knowledgeable and very personable. Her English is excellent. The tour gave us a great overview of the major sights in Saigon, and we would highly recommend Thien!
Fantastic tour with a very knowledgeable host! Jecky’s enthusiasm and Excellent English are 100%!! Highly recommend!
Thien my guide was/is incredible. Showed me the real Saigon/Ho Chi Minh. Provided a history that was authentic.
Huyen was a lovely guide, happy to reschedule the date and time of our experience. It was a very hot day, but she kept us cool with a fan and water. Huyen had Excellent English and gave us lots of information. She was very caring when my husband was a bit overwhelmed with the heat.
We had a great experience with Huyen. She was friendly and very informative. She picked us up at our hotel in zone 1 and we went to see all the main spots. She took us for coffee and told us about the local popular spots
The tour through Ho Chi Minh City with Wendy was amazing! She guided us through the busy roads and sidewalks with ease, while showing us various sights and sharing her knowledge. We saw and learned a lot in those three hours. The tour is highly recommended to everyone who has not much time planned in this buzzing city, but still wants to get to know it! Thank you Wendy for being such a great guide 😊
I booked 2 tours with Huyen and I highly recommend her to see the sights of Saigon. Huyen is super knowledgeable, fun to spend the day with and is so accommodating to your specific needs. I did one city tour and a Mekong Delta tour and would highly recommend both with Huyen.
