Not only was she very knowledgeable about the places we visited, but she also shared with us information about Vietnam’s culture and history.

5.00I didn’t think we were really tour people but my cousin recommended it and it was fabulous! Our guide Khang was a young very educated tour guide and we loved him. He taught us so much about Viet Nam and was just a beautiful sole. His English was good and he got us right in to all the sites. He also had a great sense of humor. After the all day tour we got back for a quick clean up and went on the 5:30 motorbike tour of the city with his colleague Mia. We had the best time on the backs of their motorbikes and saw everything and tried food I never thought I would and it was all delicious. Mia was a kick and the two of them together were perfect and hilarious. A big thanks to Mia and Khang!

5.00We really enjoyed this trip. The car and driver were excellent and the guide was very nice and knowledgeable. The tour was customized so we could see and do everything we wanted. The driver was amazing because he got to the ship in time, even though there was a lot of traffic.
Amazing private tour

5.00Lee was an amazing tour guide. He spent two days with us. The first day he gave us a city tour and took us to some less visited locations as well. The second day he took us to the Cu Chi tunnels, and the Coa Dai temple. Lee made our time in Saigon fabulous. He is energetic, dynamic, well spoken, a great storyteller, and very knowledgeable. His English is excellent. He is funny and provided us with a lot of information about Saigon and Vietnam. I would highly recommend him as a guide for your time here.
Highly recommend Mr Lee

5.00We were a group of 8 (two families with teenagers) and we booked this Unique Saigon Shore Excursion tour. It was definitely the right choice. Our tour guide, Lee M. was fantastic. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about Vietnam and its history, but he's also funny and entertaining, and managed to cover everything we wanted to see adding so much more in terms of cultural information and local customs that left us wanting to spend more time with him visiting the rest of the country. We definitely need to come back and see the Mekong Delta! The van for our private tour was very comfortable and clean, and the driver was very good too. In all, we had a wonderful time in Saigon and we highly recommend this tour guide.
