5.00We had the best time touring Ho Chi Minh City with our tour guide May (Nhung)! May communicated with us the day before to confirm timing and contact details. She sent a photo of herself so we knew who we were looking for but also had a sign in hand with my name on it when she met us at the port gate. It’s a long drive into the city but May spent that time telling us all about the sights we were seeing and sharing insights into Vietnamese culture. She was extremely knowledgeable and her English was excellent. At each tour stop she provided interesting and relevant historical information, including photos, which really helped. Our group consisted of foodies so we asked May if we could skip the included buffet lunch and find a GREAT restaurant that had wine (this is hard to find in most places) and she delivered in a big way!! We had the most amazing lunch at Man Moi, a Michelin Guide restaurant, conveniently located right next door to our next tour stop the Vietnam War Museum. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and highly recommend this tour. Hopefully you are lucky enough to get May as your guide!
Wonderful Tour of Ho Chi Minh City

5.00Mia is a friendly, engaging tour guide. We really enjoyed our private tour with her. The pretty park we stopped at first for coffee was so relaxing after the long drive from the port. Then Mia gave us a wonderful tour of the top sights in the city. The included lunch was delicious, with many local dishes. Try the egg coffee, yummy! Mia also took nice pictures of the 4 of us and sent them right after the tour. On the way back to the ship when we stopped for a restroom, she bought us some milk pancakes to try. Mia and her driver are terrific!
Great tour of Ho Chi Minh City

5.00Great communication from our tour guide James before being met at the Port. A wonderful insight into Ho Chi Minh City visiting the flower market, Ba Thien Hau temple, Independence Palace, Post Office and War Remnants Museum with a lunch of Pho food included as well as a plentiful supply of chilled water. Got to experience the sights and sounds of the city especially crossing the roads!
Splendid tour of a fascinating city

5.00Brilliant day with James, our knowledgeable, helpful and friendly tour guide. His pride in his country shone through. We really got to know Ho Chi Minh City on a tour that took in a massive outdoor flower market, the Independence Palace, the Eiffel designed post office and the War Remnants Museum. The latter is a must for anyone visiting Vietnam and an eye-opener. Shame on the USA. With lunch included, this tour was brilliant value for money.
A Wonderful Experience

5.00Given this tour operator was not accredited to enter the port, we were met promptly outside the harbor gate by our guide, Hero, and our driver, Nghia. The 90-minute drive to Saigon was comfortable in a clean, air-conditioned car, equipped with complimentary bottled water and Wi-Fi. During the journey, Hero provided a thorough and engaging briefing on the history of Vietnam and its neighboring countries. Using well-prepared and systematic electronic visuals, he made the experience even more impressive. The program in Saigon was tailored to our specific interests, and we were treated to a delicious Vietnamese lunch at a local, authentic restaurant, where we were the only "Westerners" among the guests. Overall, it was a fantastic day, and we are truly grateful to Hero and Nghia for providing such a wonderful experience.
Mia and her driver—5 star in every way!
