Fantastic Private Tour of Ho Chi Minh City by US Jeep

We had an incredible day exploring Ho Chi Minh City with USA Jeep, and our guide Kieren was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we were picked up, he set the tone with his warm personality, great energy, and impressive knowledge of the city. Kieren made every stop engaging, informative, and fun. He shared so many insights about the history, culture, and daily life in Saigon, and he did it in a way that was easy to follow and genuinely interesting. The Jeep itself was such a cool and unique way to see the city — comfortable, open, and perfect for taking in the atmosphere. What really stood out was how attentive and thoughtful Kieren was throughout the day. He made sure we were comfortable, answered every question, and tailored the experience to what we were most interested in. It felt like exploring the city with a friend who truly loves what he does. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better experience. Highly recommend this tour — and if you can, request Kieren. He made it unforgettable.

Half day tour in Ho Chi Minh city!

This was an amazing experience that took us through the heart of Ho Chi Minh City and a tour guide who did an excellent job talking with us about the city and it's past. Tuan Ngoc (Ryan) is an exceptional tour guide and answered all of our questions with enthusiasm and love for the city. He is connected to and a part of this city. If you ever get a chance to come to this beautiful place, I recommend not only this tour, but with Tuan Ngoc, who was a great addition to our time here. The admissions is fee was around $150.00 USD for everything included, for the ride, the tour guide, and admission to the museums. TuanNgoc went out of his way to find us a Vietnam flag because we mentioned a search to try and find the correct size, what a class act. The length of visit was perfect for a half day. We went in the morning, at about 8:00 am until about 12:00 pm. Since it was only my wife and myself, the crowd size did not matter. The vehicle we got to ride in was an old jeep Willy's that was used in the Vietnam war era, and was another great part of the trip. Overall this was one of the best tours you could take, it had a little of everything, that included the past present and future for this great country!
