Saigon City Private Tour - Tony gave my the three of us a fantastic and immersive tour around the heart of HCM, with detailed history and conversation. We also improvised well, as the palace was closed for a private event, so he took us to a local coffee shop (nearly 90 years running) and allowed us ask all sorts of questions and learn the culture. Great tour. 10/10.

Excellent city tour. - Excellent tour of city if in Saigon for short time. Our tour guide ( Minh) was excellent, telling us about the history of Saigon. Minh even went out of the way to accompany us to see the Emperor Jade Pagoda even though we had run out of our timeframe due to spending so much time at The War Remnants Museum. Minh was an excellent guide and recommend asking for him as your tour guide.

He allowed us to customize some of the tour at the end which was highly beneficial. Would definitely give him 5 stars!!! A must do in Saigon and highly beneficial to ask for Tony. Funny, engaging and a pleasure to spend the morning with. Thanks Tony for making our tour so great and sharing the rich history of Saigon.
