Awesome day, guide, driver and Jeep! - Excellent day for me and my husband. Harry was a wonderful guide and Minh a terrific and interesting driver of an iconic 1965 Jeep. We enjoyed every aspect of the tour of the tunnels and the nice lunch. Harry was kind, professional, knowledgeable and fun. Thank you for connecting to us and sharing your day and beautiful country with us.

Fantastic Jeep City Tour with Titus! - We had an amazing private 4-hour Jeep tour of Saigon, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Titus!
From start to finish, the experience was seamless and well-organized.
Our driver was highly skilled, passionate, and professional, making the ride both safe and enjoyable. Both he and Titus were polite, well-mannered, and true gentlemen.
Titus is an incredibly knowledgeable guide, bringing the history of the city, country, politics, and war to life with his engaging storytelling. His passion for history made the tour both educational and fascinating. One of the highlights was when he managed to convince me—who is afraid of small spaces—to go down into the secret bunker! A huge achievement—well done, Titus!
His English was great, and he even acted as our personal photographer, capturing some fantastic moments for us. After the tour, he went the extra mile by sending us food recommendations and where to try them, which we truly appreciated.
If you're visiting Saigon, we highly recommend booking a tour with Titus—he is an outstanding guide who makes the city’s rich history come alive.

Jeep tour of Saigon. - We took a Jeep tour of Saigon. It was a neat way to see the sites that we had read about. Our guide TD, was very knowledgable and let us have the time we needed without rush between sites. Our driver was very safe, which is a feet with theroads in Saigon. I would definitely recommend this Jeep tour for someone who wanted a different way of sightseeing that’s not a bus tour.

AMAZING JEEP TOUR! - We landed in Ho Chi Minh and half an hour later after we arrived at the hotel we where picked up by a woman who introduced herself as Mi and had the biggest sweetest smile we had seen in Vietnam!
From there we new it was going to be e great tríp!
We wanted to do the jeep tour to change airs for a bit since we have been traveling for a few weeks by now having private tours in every city we visit. And it turn out to be even more than I expected.
Starting that the car was an 80 year old Russian made jeep. The driver was great! But who made the whole experience amazing was MI - our guide. She is only 20 years old - but her knowledge is great. And her English was probably the best we have heard so far. But her energy and smile made the trip fun, energetic and full of learning lesson that we love.
If you come to Ho Chi Minh and wanna do the jeep tour I highly recommend to ask for her. You won’t regret it!
I don’t do many reviews but when something or some one is worth it I feel the need to do it!
We had a blast in this tour!

“My” The best tour guide of our trip! - The experience in the jeep was unique. The places we went super interesting (the Chinese Pagoda incredible). But the star of the tour was “My”. She is such a unique sweet and educated young lady with a great smile and energy. It was impressive that with such a young age she knew so much of history. We have been in several parts of Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia and definitely she has been the best tour guide!
