Our experience with papa holidays was great. Our guide Andrew was so friendly and cooperative. He explained everything to us so well. Recommend this agency to all.
A great way to get around Hue City. Really fun and would highly recommend. Lots to see and do in Hue City. I highly recommend to visit this city
The guides were truly outstanding! Riding on the back of their bikes gave us a sense of security, and their extensive knowledge of Ho Chi Minh City added a whole new level of excitement to our trip. Traveling around on the motorbikes was not just convenient but also incredibly enjoyable. And the food they introduced us to was simply amazing! We highly recommend going on a tour with them for an unforgettable experience. A huge thank you to Lee, and Dylan for making our stay in Ho Chi Minh City truly memorable!
It was a delightful experience exploring the vibrant city with David today. His amiable disposition, proficiency in English, and ability to share engaging anecdotes and historical perspectives were truly noteworthy. David's adaptability was admirable as he tailored the tour to suit our interests and thoughtfully arranged a delightful vegetarian dining experience for us. His attentive and personalized service throughout the day surpassed our expectations. We extend our sincere gratitude to David for his exceptional care and hospitality.
DON'T BOOK WITH THIS FIRM!!! They provided the tour service totally different than what they described on booking.com. They randomly changed the schedule within the 24 hours before the trip starts so that you CAN'T cancel the booking. You wouldn't get the service for the money you paid!!!!
I booked this trip before I arrived in Saigon. I telephoned the day prior to the tour to confirm pick up time from my hotel. This was confirmed for 8am. I waited till 840am, called their office, no answer, then they sent me a text to say on my way. I gave up waiting after 930am and when they did not answer my texts. Very disappointing. Booked through Viator, and after complaining Viator are fully refunding my cost. But it wasted my whole day as I had no other plans made as this was a full day and night tour.
Centrally located in the city, opposite the War Remnants Museum and within walking distance of Notre Dame Cathedral, Post Office and Ben Thanh market. We stayed one night, on a Sunday and loved the place. It was everything to be expected. We had a Superior, front road room, which was rather lavish in size and had no issues with noise. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the breakfast of an acceptable standard. The front desk staff were polite and efficient and I would like to extend our gratitude to the efficient Lady of the Tours Department, who helped us sort out our ticketing problem with VietJet
<p>The local tour agency is Bravo Indochina Tours and the guides who took us around are freelancer guides. The HCMC sightseeing between 7.30 am and 1 pm included a trip to a local Chinese temple, a park with a cafe that served simple breakfasts and drinks, the Reunification palace, the Post Office and the Notre Dame Cathedral. The lunch provided was a 5-course meal and the food was delicious. The night food tour between 6.30 pm - 9 pm included a trip to a popular Vietnamese restaurant and a dessert/ drink place that served bubble milk tea. We were looking forward to this based on the previous reviews however were left disappointed. All transfers arranged via Grab/ Uber/ taxi.</p>
<p>This tour was truly worth the price. The night tour with Lam was more than anticipated very wotth the time</p>
<p>I felt really brave going out on motorcycles at night in Saigon in this mad traffic city. I had to continually remind my self to concentrate on the scenery and not to mentally drive the motorbike. The various types of food were great and the company was even better. My driver was a character and we had lots of fun.<br/> It was interesting at the various museums that the Vietnam war is now known as the American war.<br/> Informative and interesting. Lots of fun.</p>
