5.00Had a great tour with Stark - really solid information and unlike some otyer tours you got enough time in the War remnants museum. Only thing to note is the Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral is currently under renovation
Convenient

5.00A fantastic way to start a visit in Ho Chi Minh City, with a very personalised tour. The open Jeep is a great way to witness the traffic which feels like disorganised chaos, but somehow works! With plenty of local knowledge & history our half day with Loi our guide was a really good experience.
