1.00Terribly organized. For some, this tour is a continuation of their morning tour, for others, a sightseeing drive before a dinner cruise. The guide was overwhelmed with the number of people, didn’t articulate the sequence of the stops or provide time for restroom breaks. Children and folks with limited mobility should not be allowed on this tour, as the pace doesn’t allow for waiting for ppl to catch up. I left the tour at the second stop after being offended by the tour guide. Do not waste your money, avoid Kim Travel company, they did not set the guide or the tour group up for a successful tour. Of all the tours I’ve taken in Vietnam, this was the worst!

5.00Had a great afternoon out with our tour guide Kelvin who helped us to understand the history of Vietnam, particularly that relating to the war and atrocities associated with it. I enjoyed too learning a little about Buddhism at the pagoda.
Great way to start!

5.00Great bargain and a good first day experience landing in Vietnam. I did this tour first thing, then an evening scooter and food tour and both gave me a good layout of the city, and a quick immersion into history and culture. I opted for these option over Hop On Hop Off bus and think I was able to learn more. This was perfect as I'm a first time visitor to Vietnam.
Excellent tour of Ho Chi Minh City

5.00This was a really good tour. We saw the main sites and had time to spend in them especially the war museum, which is a must see albeit not pleasant. Jackie was an excellent guide who knew lots of things and spoke very good English. Highly recommended.
Great starter tour for Saigon
