5.00Since my HCM city trip was a last minute decision, I was not able to research a DIY city tour. Luckily this tour ticked the boxes of places i wanted to see in a city. Great itinerary with ample time spent at each stop that i didn’t find the need to go back to any of them in my free time. Half day well spent with our wonderful and helpful guide Luan.

5.00We had a wonderful time on our Saigon City Tour, all thanks to our guide, Luan. His energy and deep knowledge of the city made the experience special. He showed us the heart of city and various landmarks with so much care and insight, and patiently answered all the questions we had. It was also very comfortable to travel by the airconditioned bus that stopped right in front of each site. Thank you🙏

1.00Tour guide was good but we were next to visit a Buddha temple and we must remove shoes and leave outside . After doing a your of temple my shoe was stolen outside . I guess they love my 170 dollar pair of Adidas was too expensive to put outside so i decided to call it quits and go back to my hotel room. I recommend tying my shoe to my belt loop next tour or bring a backpack and put it inside . Never leave your shoes outside any temple . Guys are waiting outside to steal them.
Amazing!

5.00An excellent excursion would highly recommend. James our guide was very knowledgeable & helpful & made the day very informative. The small group consisted of just 4 people including our friends which made it flexible. The prior admin arrangements with Alan were really good, contacting me after booking & prior to the excursion. They changed both the meeting time & meeting point when our cruise changed the travel times into Ho Chi Minh City. Thank you
