5.00Our hotel have a complicated way to entrance and approach to the lobby, but our guide Paul and our driver Huy still perfectly on time. He have a well introduction about what gonna happen this tour, and also flexible for us to have the best experiences. Also his attitude when some unexpected things happened is a plus point that cannot be ignored, professional, calm, take everything undercontrol. Recommended 👍

The Only Walking Tour You Need in Saigon

5.00Super solid experience! We did the HCMC center walking tour and it was the best decision we made for this trip. Our guide was so sincere and engaging; there was never a dull moment with him. He really knows his stuff and his storytelling is on point. The 'star of the show' (aside from the landmarks) was the Bun Thit Nuong spot he brought us to. It’s tucked away and definitely where the locals go—best flavors ever! As a tourist from Manila, I really appreciated how he took care of us and made sure we were comfortable and entertained. 5 stars is not enough. Maraming salamat!
Great experience, knowledgeable guide

5.00We’re a couple from Las Vegas, and we had an amazing time exploring Ho Chi Minh City with Dwan! He was super nice, friendly, and made the whole experience fun and easy. We loved how he blended famous landmarks with hidden local spots we would’ve never found on our own. It was the perfect way to discover the city together. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Saigon!
PERFECT Day in Ho Chi Minh City

5.00Good morning! We had such a brilliant day yesterday with Oliver. He was such a wonderful guide. Knowledgeable and SO accommodating. He made a perfect day for my mother - made her dreams of Vietnam all come true! Each of us was able to see exactly what we wanted do see and spend exactly as much time each place. Plus, Oliver knew some places we never would have visited without his guidance which added SO much to our enjoyment. We will recommend him to anyone we know who comes to Ho Chi Minh city and cannot wait to return ourselves.

5.00We were picked up by motorbikes by Bee and Harry and we had the most wonderful time. We went through the most important sites of Ho Chi Minh City and we had time to enjoy the local life and culture. The boys were knowledgeable and lovely, with really good English. I believe they do tour by day so you can access museums etc, we preferred a night tour and really enjoyed it. 10/10.
