We had a very informative... - We had a very informative tour with Minh. We also had a great driver and vehicle to get round in. Minh’s English was excellent. It is a great way to see the main attractions in a short time and to get a local perspective of historical events and of the city itself.

Long (7 hour) layover at Saigon - Interesting insights from the guide. It was a nice, if hurried, way to see the sights on a long layover at Saigon airport.

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.
