    The guides were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I went on 2 different tours and on those tours some of the places I have already visited. No worries, the guide suggested other places that may be of interest to me which was excellent. Highly recommended.

    We really enjoyed Ho Chi Minh city tour with a friendly volunteer student guide, Linh. She is so friendly and enthusiastic, speaks perfect English. She took us to many famous places in Ho Chi Minh. Thanks to her, we enjoyed Ho Chi Minh a lot(not only for doing sight seeing but for trying some local food, Vietnamese coffee) Thanks again, Linh. Highly recommended.
