5.00The tour is interesting and covers all the main points of interest in Saigon at once. The van was comfortable enough and we had a good time with the rest of the group. The guide (Kai) was really good and knowledgeable. Not sure if Ho Chi Minh City has the most exciting touristy places but this was surely a great way to see them!
Awesome

5.00Had a great tour with Stark - really solid information and unlike some otyer tours you got enough time in the War remnants museum. Only thing to note is the Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral is currently under renovation

5.00We had a wonderful time with friendly and welcoming Loi, our guide. Throughout the city tour he gave us significant insights delving deep into the history and culture of Saigon. With perfectly spoken English, Loi was a brilliant guide for the entire experience. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Saigon for the first time.
