Fantastic trip to remember a lifetime
Exceptional Tour with a very polite and Friendly host called Vy. My husband and I really enjoyed the private individual experience and would definitely recommend this Viator as a suitable alternative to ship led excursions.
Paul showed us the best of Saigon. More than the museums and tourist areas, he took us to a local apartment, local market and we had an excellent lunch. He was very knowledgeable about the history, culture, and Vietnamese way of life. Paul listened to our interests and was mindful of our timeline. We highly recommend Paul!

We had a fantastic tour of Ho Chi Minh City with Daniel Nguyen, our guide. He promptly picked us up from our cruise, and took us to several different places and sights in the city, tailored to what we were most interested in. Daniel was very knowledgeable, fun to spend the day with, and we felt that we were able to experience a lot in a short time frame. We would definitely recommend this tour with Daniel to anybody traveling to Ho Chi Minh City.
We had a wonderful day exploring all the highlights of Ho Chi Minh City with our tour guide, Huy. He was extremely knowledgeable, flexible, and made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. He even helped us buy some fresh fruit at the local market, which was such a nice personal touch. A big shout-out to our driver as well — very professional, patient, and an excellent, safe driver throughout the day. He delivered us on time back at the cruise ship. Overall, it was a fantastic tour and we’d highly recommend it!
