Amazing - The temperature was pleasant for us (from Scotland) but in February it may be considered as a little cold for others.

A great guide on a great tour!!!!!! - Our guide Mia was an absolute joy to be with! Vivacious, thoughtful, knowledgeable, good English, everything you could possibly hope for in a guide. I most sincerely recommend her for your guide!! The tour itself is very comprehensive. It covers a lot in Saigon. The War museum is powerful, the market is frenetic , lunch was great with 6 courses and a nice sampling of Vietnamese food. Great tour with a great guide and driver who was very attentive and a very nice price!!!

Friendly and helpful - Kelvin (tour guide) and Tho (driver) were super friendly, greeted us at the gate bright and early to start our tour in a comfortable SUV. We were able to personalize our tour to drive by the area where my mom used to live in Cholon and spend extra time at the market to look for Vietnamese fresh fruit and dessert. We were able to do a quick stop at the city hall to take some photos of the beautiful area. Thankfully Kelvin was there to help us translate with vendors while shopping, as well as crossing the busy streets full of scooters and motorbikes.

Wonderful way to learn about Vietnam - Khang took us to great places in Ho Chi Minh City, but the best part was talking to him about life in his country and its history and religions. He is an excellent guide and teacher.

Best Tour Ever!!! - Penny was amazing—accommodating and cheerful throughout our tour. She provided a relatable and diligent explanation of Vietnam's history, covering its religions, ethnicities, geography, and wars. Her preparation for our visit to the war museum was particularly helpful, and we appreciated her thoughtful warnings. We also enjoyed a stop for lunch, where the menu was adjusted to accommodate my dietary needs, which was a nice touch. Penny was attentive, effortlessly sensing when we were eager for new information and when we preferred some quiet time. Her tour was well-balanced and thoroughly enjoyable. Additionally, the team ensured we returned to the port on time. Great job, and thank you for making our time in Vietnam so memorable!

Fantastic trip with enthusiastic guide - We would thoroughly recommend this trip. It was the highlight of our holiday. Harry our guide, was friendly and enthusiastic. He gave us a very varied trip, with a ride on a bicycle and a canoe. We even had a swim. The trip was scenic with outstanding views. We were given an amazing lunch with many different courses. It was excellent value for money.

Highlight of our vacation! - Outstanding tour! Khang was the perfect guide - knowledgeable, professional, flexible and passionate about his city. He allowed us to customize our itinerary. We enjoyed all the places he took us to, but our favorites were the Bing Quoi Village, FITO Museum of Vietnamese Medicine, and the War Remnants Museum.

Good Experience, Lots to See! - We had a great time with Anna, she is kind and very knowledgeable about Saigon. Lunch was lovely too. It was very hot and I asked Anna if we could stay out of the sun but that seemed difficult. Our fault too for forgetting hats. Also when we wanted to do things a bit different, they were less flexible, but they ended up accommodating us. The War Remnants museum was very impressive. When we said goodbye Anna asked for a 5 star review and later she asked for it again by text. Her company asked us too and we feel we should not be pressured like this. Overall an experience worth the money 👍🏼
