Tour ride Hoang provided great information on the sites we visited. Great details at the former presidential palace, going room to room. I learned a lot and got to see more of the city, ending at Ben Thanh market.

He is very responsive to our requests. He answered all our questions and he took the time to make us a list of restaurants and interests near our stay. We learned a lot about history and culture.

To really flee, not correct person who asks you for extra cash to give to guides for a language other than English when one has already paid on TripAdvisor. Once the tour operator is notified of these actions, he cancels overnight. I would not recommend to anyone.
Trustworthy

Very informative tour. Hoàng incorporated fun activities so the group will get to know each other and to help us remember the history of the city. On a personal note, I accidentally left behind a bag on the van and he made sure I got it back bringing it after hours on his bike. Throughout the process he updated me on how far he was away to assure me. That’s a customer service.
