5.00Our tour guide Lockie was very fun and knowledgable. He told us a lot about the history and culture of Vietnam and his own story. He was very entertaining, even with some Karaoke! The day was long but worth it, we saw a lot and got to sample various foods. Lunch was delicious for the vegetarian/vegan option. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Worth every penny! A Must-Do Tour in Vietnam — Especially with David!

5.00Our tour guide otherwise known as Big Handsome David absolutely MADE this trip. Honestly, he’s probably the best tour guide we’ve ever had. From the second we got on the bus at an unholy hour in the morning, he had everyone laughing. He was naturally hilarious, full of energy, and somehow kept the whole group entertained all day without it ever feeling forced. He got the perfect balance between being informative and being fun. He explained the history and culture really well, kept everything relevant and interesting, but also made the day feel relaxed and enjoyable. Brilliant for all ages. We also really appreciated how organised he was — he constantly updated us on the plans for the morning and afternoon, timings, what was coming next, etc., which made the whole experience feel smooth and stress-free. The Cu Chi Tunnels were fascinating and brilliantly explained, and the lunch provided was delicious, healthy, and generous. Another lovely touch was how considerate the tour was with allergies — if you have a nut allergy, just let David know and he’ll explain which sweets are safe to try at the coconut candy factory. The Mekong Delta was absolutely beautiful. The island trip was really cool, and the river boat ride was honestly surreal — so peaceful and scenic. But genuinely, the standout of the entire day was David. He brought such a fun atmosphere to the group and made the whole experience memorable. If you get “Big Handsome David” as your guide, you’ve hit the jackpot.
Must do - thanks Big Dave

A fantastic family-friendly tour

5.00Had a fantastic tour with Big Handsome David, my family and I loved his energy! The price was worth the 11-12 hours we spent together as a tour group (there were around 20 of us in the group). He gave lots of information in a way that made us interested to listen to him and he always made sure that we had fun and were doing okay. He gave us vegetarian-friendly recommendations as well for us to explore after our tour. Regarding the places we went to, they were all interesting and we appreciated the initiatives to support the local communities as well. We would highly recommend Big Handsome David and this tour package!
Nice day for excursion
