5.00Luân was a wonderful guide on our tour. The comfortable air-conditioned van arrived right on time and dropped us right outside each stop. Luân was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We enjoyed the tour very much.
Le and Daniel- The absolute BEST tour guides for Ho Chi Minh City!

5.00Le and Daniel were such AMAZING tour guides! It’s been 3 days and I can’t stop raving about them on how knowledgeable, sweet, and enthusiastic they were. They picked us up promptly from our hotel at 1pm and showed us how to ride on the back of their motorcycles since we were both inexperienced. From the get go they made us feel super comfortable and they were able to answer every one of our questions, whether it was on the history of Vietnam or local customs and traditions. They took us to all the promised main attractions of Ho Chi Minh City and gave us so much insight and history on their significance. They even had raincoats for us when it started to rain. What we adored most about them is how enthusiastic they were and always had a smile on their faces. Truly the most unforgettable tour we have ever had. Any other tour experience just didn’t compare after our time with them. If you’re still unsure on booking, this is your sign to book now.
A great welcome to Vietnam
