Lockie the best!

5.00We had the best day with your guide Lockie! He was so caring with us, and he taught us so much about the area as well as things along the way to the main stops. Lockie even took photos for us throughout the day, learnt our names; and sung and played the harmonica for some extra entertainment on the way! We had such a fun time.

5.00A highlight from my time in Saigon! I was lucky to have Jenny as my driver and guide, she was very friendly , funny and I always felt safe . You get to visit some really interesting local, grittier areas you might not usually come to on your own , and all the food was delicious. All the guides were so informative, friendly and really took care of you, definitely recommend this experience especially as a solo traveller !!
A fun cultural experience

4.00The Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta tour was a great experience to see the more rural side of Vietnam during my stay in Ho Chi Minh City. This tour takes up the whole day, and there's a lot of walking. I highly recommend wearing light and loose clothing because the heat and humidity will drench you in sweat. The lunch at the Bamboo Restaurant was good and fullfilling. Though I didn't enjoy the fruit platter and honey tea tasting in the Mekong Delta. But that's a personal opinion based on taste. The sampan boat ride was a fun experience and I greatly admire the physical endurance of the sampan rowers, most of whom are elderly. I do recommend giving a tip at the end. Our tour guide (Phuc?) was knowledgeable and made sure we didn't get lost going from place to place. I highly recommend doing a cultural tour when visiting HCMC.

5.00Brilliant tour with super tour guide - Khoa, full of history and lots of added extras. We had a brilliant tour with Khoa, how he told the history of the Vietnam war was easy to understand and helped us understand the context of the tunnels better. He was very helpful and gave us lots of recommendations!

5.00Great full-day experience visiting the Cu Chi Tunnel and Mekong Delta. Everything was well organized and smooth from the pick up at the hotel to the many activities. Expect a few hours of bus drive between locations but the local guide was very entertaining and helpful.
