5.00We were greeted by Luan at the airport while on an eight hour layover to another destination. We had a scheduled city tour. There was a misunderstanding about which tour we were taking and Luan was AMAZING about rectifying the situation and taking great care of us! He was kind, patient extremely knowledgeable and professional. Luan was the best part of our journey in Saigon! We had a wonderful afternoon and Luan was absolutely the biggest part of it!

5.00This outing was awesome! Our guide and driver were terrific. We went to several places while getting lots of details and history. It ended up that the two of us were the only ones on the tour. I was impressed that they didn’t cancel it because of that. $30 for a private tour? WOW what a bargain. You should absolutely book this tour!
