5.00Took a private tour and can't say enough good things about our guide Stark. His enthusiasm and knowledge was fantastic. A great way to see War Remnants and Independence Palace. Our teenagers loved Starks engaging personality.
Nam was the best guide ever!

5.00This was a great way to get an overview of Sai gon. We got to see all the important landmarks. Our guide Nam was terrific and gave people just enough time at each stop. At the end he even dropped us of at the famous apartment cafe. Highly recommend particularly if you are lucky enough to Nam. Just a tip, make sure you download GRAB ( Vietnams Uber) BEFORE you leave Australia and link your payment. It is by far the cheapest way of getting around and are available in every major city.
