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!
