Was a great tour. Both Anthony and Hannah were brilliant tour guides. Showed us places that would be difficult to find otherwise with great food . Would definitely recommend.
Corn was an amazing tour guide, and very accommodating considering how last minute my booking was (booked at 9:05, picked up at 9:40). He was knowledgeable and very friendly. Highly recommended, especially if you want to see some lesser known highlights.
We had a fantastic tour with Tyson and his team. We’ve been to Ho Chi Minh City many times, but we tried food we have never had before or would have tried on our own. The scooter ride to back streets in District 1 where hidden little food stalls and restaurants were, was fabulous. Highly recommend
Hannah is a very excellent guide with vast knowledge and very fluent English speaking girl
We had the best evening with Ryan and his team, Trong and Ben. We ate amazing food, learnt a lot about the history of Saigon and saw many things we would have otherwise have missed. Cannot thank the team enough, and definitely rolled home after all the yummy food. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough.
Katie is familiar with riding techniques. The guide explains very detailed Good to take care of guests Eating and drinking coffee is full
Annie thanks for the tour, we are really enjoy it
Thank you to Mr. Corn and his team, they were both very friendly and informative throughout the entire tour. If you are in Ho Chi Min, I highly recommend booking this experience!
Amazing tour of the city! Mr. Corn is very knowledgeable about the city and took us to a great food spot. Would recommend to anyone wanting to explore HCM!
We had a fantastic trip Ana, Tyra & Judy. They looked after us so well and showed us so many things and explained everything to us so well. We are an over 65 age group and the girls looked after us so well. I would highly recommend this trip to all ages.
