First I want to recommend to you, my guide Mallorie, her Chinese and English can communicate smoothly, if English is not as good as me, I highly recommend her, will make you feel interesting and trustworthy. In addition, this is my first time to visit Ho Chi Minh City, the tourist Mallorie very kind and enthusiastic, detailed introduction of many local culture and history, took me to explore in depth the way the local residents live, the pace of the journey is very appropriate to control, also allowed me to use the camera to capture many precious pictures, it was a very difficult and valuable experience.
Jay was an amazing guide who couldn't do enough to tell me about all the locations. He was patient and made sure I am leaving Vietnam with a lot of information about places not typically seen in the most ethical way!
Hana and flora and were both very friendly, were good for a laugh and had plenty of interesting local knowledge. 10 out 10 tour. Can't recommend these girls enough.
Hana and Flora were absolutely amazing. Great guides with a great sense of humour and great knowledge about the city. The food and snacks were also great. Highly recommended this experience
The rider was Hana, and she was very kind to take me to many places. They speak perfect English and are polite. I think even beginners can travel with peace of mind.
