5.00I booked a small group city tour, which turned into a private experience for me and my partner. Our guide, Luan (Ethan), was outstanding. He has extensive knowledge and a deep understanding of his culture. He explained the history of the Independence Palace, Post Office, temples, and Ho Chi Minh City in English with clarity. He is friendly and courteous, making the experience enjoyable. I learned a lot about Vietnam's history thanks to him. Thank you, Ethan, for being such a wonderful guide. The driver was very friendly, punctual, and dropped us right at the entrances of each site we visited. Thank you 🥰 Best, Amy Chung
Good times on this tour!

5.00I had a great experience on this tour in Ho Chi Minh City! Everything was well organized, from transportation to timing, and the pace was just right — interesting and engaging without feeling overwhelming. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable. The only downside was the rain, but even that couldn’t take away from how much fun the tour was. Overall, it was a fantastic value and a memorable experience I’d definitely recommend to other travelers!
