We had a wonderful tour with Mr. Tinh. He guided us exceptionally well throughout the trip. Since we were traveling with my wife, our child, and an infant baby, we really appreciated how patient, understanding, and accommodating he was with our family’s needs. He made sure we were comfortable at every step and never rushed us, which made our experience even more enjoyable. His professionalism, friendly nature, and knowledge made the tour memorable. I would highly recommend Mr. Tinh to anyone visiting Vietnam. Thank you for making our trip so pleasant!

Our guide (Jack) today was outstanding as he led us through both the War Remnants Museum and the Independence (Reunification) Palace, offering far more than dates and names by weaving in rich comparisons to world history—drawing parallels to the American Revolution and George Washington—along with colorful connections to Hollywood blockbusters and TV shows that made everything come alive. Beyond his impressive knowledge, he was warm and genuinely inclusive, making a real effort to connect with every member of our group, whether they were from India or from different states across the U.S. He kept us on a tight schedule while still clearly explaining the day’s plan and offering thoughtful alternatives and options, and the result was an informative, friendly, and memorable day.
We did a tour of Vung Tau. Duy Lee was an incredible tour guide! He made SURE that we got every photo possible at every opportunity. And they came out amazing! Like a professional photographer. We visited some churches and a lighthouse with beautiful sightseeing and the beach as well! We had the opportunity to swim for a while too! Definitely recommend waking up early to see the sunrise over the mountains at the beach. 10/10 recommend! Incredible experience.
It was good experience and guide ( Hawey ) was really great.

We started our Vietnam trip with a wonderful half-day tour of Ho Chi Minh City guided by Mr. Tinh, and it set the perfect tone for the rest of our journey. His deep knowledge and engaging storytelling brought Vietnam’s history and culture to life in a way that was both insightful and easy to follow. Mr. Tinh struck a great balance between historical context and local perspective, making the experience feel personal rather than just informational. His warmth, professionalism, and passion for his country truly stood out. A fantastic introduction to Vietnam—we couldn’t have asked for a better start. Highly recommended!
