It was amazing lovely tour and our guid Kieran made it special, his knowledge is amazing, he knows all hidden places and places to go. We had our own private car, it was very comfortable. I can absolutely recommend this tour!!
Our hotel have a complicated way to entrance and approach to the lobby, but our guide Paul and our driver Huy still perfectly on time. He have a well introduction about what gonna happen this tour, and also flexible for us to have the best experiences. Also his attitude when some unexpected things happened is a plus point that cannot be ignored, professional, calm, take everything undercontrol. Recommended 👍
Paul waitin for us at the lobby and have a really warm welcome for a amazing tour. His presense and all the story linked together so well. 10/10 for his team
Paul our tour guide for today. his crewmate and him absolutely amazing. make sure us is safe all the time, riding around the central, show us lots of spot. Thank u Paul. recommended with Paul's team
Super solid experience! We did the HCMC center walking tour and it was the best decision we made for this trip. Our guide was so sincere and engaging; there was never a dull moment with him. He really knows his stuff and his storytelling is on point. The 'star of the show' (aside from the landmarks) was the Bun Thit Nuong spot he brought us to. It’s tucked away and definitely where the locals go—best flavors ever! As a tourist from Manila, I really appreciated how he took care of us and made sure we were comfortable and entertained. 5 stars is not enough. Maraming salamat!
What a great time. Dwan was awesome and very knowledgeable. He kept us informed and adapted to meet our tour desires and wants. Would absolutely recommend. Thank you
We’re a couple from Las Vegas, and we had an amazing time exploring Ho Chi Minh City with Dwan! He was super nice, friendly, and made the whole experience fun and easy. We loved how he blended famous landmarks with hidden local spots we would’ve never found on our own. It was the perfect way to discover the city together. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Saigon!
Good morning! We had such a brilliant day yesterday with Oliver. He was such a wonderful guide. Knowledgeable and SO accommodating. He made a perfect day for my mother - made her dreams of Vietnam all come true! Each of us was able to see exactly what we wanted do see and spend exactly as much time each place. Plus, Oliver knew some places we never would have visited without his guidance which added SO much to our enjoyment. We will recommend him to anyone we know who comes to Ho Chi Minh city and cannot wait to return ourselves.
I loved the experience! In a short amount of time I was able to learn so much about the history and culture, while exploring places and experiencing knowledgeable insights from a local guide. Steven was so friendly, approachable and kind. I highly recommend!
We were picked up by motorbikes by Bee and Harry and we had the most wonderful time. We went through the most important sites of Ho Chi Minh City and we had time to enjoy the local life and culture. The boys were knowledgeable and lovely, with really good English. I believe they do tour by day so you can access museums etc, we preferred a night tour and really enjoyed it. 10/10.
