Great trip with Kyle - Great trip in an ac minivan for 4 of us. Kyle was our guide and he was fabulous! Informative, funny, serious and a good guy all round. He stopped for the market, spectacles shop and ATM as we requested, always with a smile and "of course". Really good English too. Highly recommend this trip...and ask for Kyle!!!

Half day Saigon tour was great way to spend 4 hours - Quang was a great guide, with a sense of humor! The stops, including the Pagoda, Post Office and War Remembrance Museum, as well as the Central Market were authentic experiences.

A great tour, and an excellent guide! - Our tour with Chuong was a perfect introduction to Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam. He was knowledgeable, personable, and very flexible. Chuong adapted the tour to our circumstances seamlessly, (mobility challenges and jet lag) without compromising the integrity of the tour and information. The highlights were the War Museum, the Presidential Palace and grounds and the Post Office and the discussions surrounding Vietnam’s history, culture and future. Highly recommended!

Amazing tour! - I had an amazing and remarkable tour of HCMC with Tony. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. So I have learned so much about the city, the Vietnamese history, culture, and many other aspects of the country. In addition, Tony was pretty social as well so we had many amicable and casual conversations during the tour, which I really appreciate. And finally, it was definitely nice to be inside an air conditioned car as it could get quite hot in HCMC. So the tour was really convenient and worthwhile. We managed to see a lot of different attractions and places without troubles. Highly recommended!
