5.00This was an informative & well experienced tour. Our tour guide Manh was so funny and explained a lot of the culture to us. My group was only 4 people but he took his time to speak to us individually and answer all questions. Plus his jokes were hilarious. My husband and I landed in HCMC 2 hours beforehand so this was a fantastic way to start our trip. Cold waters were provided and the transportation was comfortable with great AC.
Great way to see a lot of the city!

April private Saigon City tour

5.00We used Asiana Link Travel to reserve a private guide off the cruise ship as we had an overnight stop in Sai-Gon. Our guide, Vin with his driver, was prompt and spoke English very well. This arrangement was scheduled by Katie at Asiana who was fantastic to work with as we had multiple changes to our itinerary. Vin was able to get our trip to the Mekong Delta in (a long car ride but worth it) where we enjoyed a boat ride to the islands and saw many interesting sites including a traditional Vietnamese lunch, coconut candy demo and held a python. The following day, Vin picked us up at our downtown hotel and took us to the the market, presidential palace, he war museum and another lunch! Wonderful overview of Ho Chi Ming (Sai-Gon). Would highly recommend using Asiana Link via WhatsApp to schedule a small group or private outing to learn about this city! Thank you Vin and Katie!
