Foodtour - Cool jeep and a very prudent driver, who accompanied the ride partly musically. I highly recommend it. Our guide Hung took us confidently through Saigon from one feeding station to the next and told us a few facts about Saigon on the side. The food was good and the choice much to very much. You'd better skip the buffet breakfast on the ship. Thank you, Hung. It was a nice experience.

Great Jeep Foodtour - We were driven through town in a jeep and ate super delicious things. Our guide Hung explained a lot about the city and the country and he responded to our needs. The tour I can recommend.

Great excursion, great guides - It was a beautiful and above all authentic excursion with scooters and extremely dedicated guides, which showed us Saigon from its natural side. The tour began with a scooter ride through Chinatown, then headed to a market where local fruit was purchased and then consumed together. After another drive through small alleys we went to a typical Vietnamese lunch. Afterwards we continued our drive through Saigson, which ended the very successful excursion.

Perfect trip through Saigon on a scooter with great guides in but also off the mainstream - The trip was just incredible and fabulous. The guides were mega friendly and likeable and put a lot of effort into it. Could all speak very good English and knew many facts about the sights. But the insider tips away from the tourist hotspots were really awesome. Driving through the narrow streets, enjoying a Vietnamese coffee along with tropical fruits just bought at the market, followed by a traditional pho in a quaint place where we were really the only tourists far and wide between locals. All in all a really successful trip and the drivers have also all driven safely despite the many traffic

Quick tour of Ho Chi Minh City - Casey was a fantastic tour guide. She was very energetic and knowledgeable. She put a lot of effort into engaging my kids and making sure they were happy. I would highly recommend her and this tour.

Wonderful visit of backstreet Saigon and touristic Saigon - We did the Saigon shore excursion. Our guide, Hung, met us right outside the cruise port gate. He spoke excellent English and showed us both the touristic sights as well as the backstreet sights. For lunch, we had Hu Tieu Tron Kho mixed noodle. It was served dry style (meaning soup on the side). This way, the flavors or the noodle are not diluted. Yummy! Hung was very pleasant, informative, and professional. He helped us select souvenirs, drinks, and food by translating. Our driver was really good at navigating the heavy traffic in and around Saigon. He always met us promptly from place to place during our tour. We enjoyed the tour very much! Thank you and Cảm ơn

The BEST Way to See Ho Chi Minh City! - We had such a brilliant day with our guide, Oliver. He was so friendly and caring. The driver was also close by to grab us when we were ready to move on so we didn’t waste one moment of our day. Oliver was very knowledgeable and SO accommodating. He made a perfect day for my mother - made her dreams of Vietnam all come true! - Made our whole group’s day! We will recommend him to anyone we know who comes to Ho Chi Minh city and cannot wait to return ourselves. Thank you!!!
