For starters, the experience was over a 10/10! The tour itself was accurately described from the itinerary when you sign up for the tour. The host of the experience did a very good job with communicating and setting up where to meet up with the tour guides of the evening. We were greeted by our tour guides, Sophie and Grayson who arrived early to pick up my friend and I for the tour. They were very knowledgeable and am very thankful to have gone on this tour with them! I’d highly recommend Sophie and Grayson as they are very helpful and knowledgeable with their history of Saigon as well as acquainting us on riding the motorbikes with them! We ended the night in Saigon’s district 5 (Chinatown) where they both made the night a very unforgettable experience!

Both Hani and Pen were extremely knowledgeable and experts in their profession. The tour was so unique and efficient. The Bhan Mi and the historical coffee place was amazing. It started raining heavily but since our guides were professionals, they whipped out ponchos and off we went. They went out of their for an errand we had to take care of, and we're so patient when we were shopping at the historical post office. We highly recommend them.
