Great Experience - I booked the Saigon City Highlight & Chinatown Day Tour with Water Bus Experience for my group (4 people total). Khanh was the one who reached out to me to confirm tour details and Lenny was my tour guide. Since it was peak season (January), I expected more people to join us on our tour but only 1 other person joined in the afternoon. We rode around on a 7 seater bus and Lenny was an informative tour guide and did a great job of answering all of our questions and even proving us with local restaurant recommendations.

Excellent Tour with Travis - Travis (sorry I forgot his Vietnamese name!!) took my family on a tour. He was personable, friendly and very good at taking pics. We learnt a lot about how HCMC is changing, and what life is like for local people - which my son deeply appreciated. We were on a bus with another family of 4, and transit was comfortable and smooth. Would recommend this tour - it’s a more personal experience in a smaller group, and you get what you paid for and more!

Ho Chi Minh City to the Mekong River - He was a very nice person who attended to the high mountains.
But it was difficult to coordinate in the morning, so I had to wait an hour in the morning, so it was three stars. Still, it was a great memory.
