Fantastic tour guide who brought a lot of fun into the day. Very knowledgeable and showed us everything and more of Saigon. Best coffee we’ve ever had!

Nice kid gave the tour. Just not particularly knowledgeable. Not pleased at all. Viator needs to vet guides better.

This excursion was limited by the ships arrival and all aboard times. At the beginning of the journey I questioned the guide about return time and was told beck by 3 pm. During the day I reminded the guide of the timing. The trip from the ship to Hi Chi Minh city was 90 minutes. We wasted about 30 minutes in the city trying to reconnect with the driver at one stop. In the end the guide told me it would only take 30-40 minutes to return because it was the weekend. Then the guide abandoned us in the city and left it up to the driver to return us to the ship. It took 87 minutes to return us over an hour late. We still made the ship, but I was not happy.

A very hectic city. I was good to have our own private tour guide to show us where to go. But unfortunately although he was a trier our guide just couldn’t speak English well enough for us to ask questions or understand the detail of what he was saying. The ‘luxury’ transport left a lot to be desired. It was probably a nice car in its day, but not only was it tired but the seat belts didn’t work (and the way they drive out here you want a seat belt on). The driver had two mobile phone on the go, one for his videos the other for his regular phone calls and text messages (sending and receiving!!) Better value than the cruise tours but left us feeling it could be so much better.

Punctual pickup and drop off, very polite and welcoming guide, enjoyed the places we visited, were provided with one bottle of water, lunch was excellent and accommodating as one member had food allergies, only thing that was a negative and why we did not rate it higher was that the tour guide needed to be speaking clearer English, our guide struggled to understand some of our questions asked and we would of liked to spend more time at certain stops
