5.00Tour was excellent. Our guide, named: My or Camellia, was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and professional throughout the entire experience. You could clearly see that she loves her job, and her tourism studies really showed in the way she guided and explained everything. Even though my hotel was not originally included on the pickup list, they still came to pick me up, which I really appreciated. Communication through WhatsApp was very easy. The van used between the four landmarks was very clean and had excellent air conditioning, making the transportation very comfortable, especially in the Vietnam heat. They also offer you a bottle of water. The schedule was also very well organized in this 4 hours . We had more than enough time at each location to properly enjoy and explore all the landmarks mentioned in the tour description without feeling rushed. Over all a very nice experience great way to see the city, Learn learned about historian culture of Vietnam! Overall, a very enjoyable and smooth experience. Highly recommended.

5.00I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our guide, Daniel, who accompanied us during our four-hour city tour in Saigon. He spent time sharing the rich history of the city and was truly engaging and enjoyable to listen to throughout the tour. Daniel has an excellent personality, and we did not encounter any issues at all during our time with him. The entire experience was smooth, informative, and very enjoyable because of his professionalism and positive attitude. He is definitely a valuable asset to your company, and if guests have the option to choose a tour guide, I would highly recommend Daniel.
