Ho Chi Minh walking tour - This is a great walking tour. Our guide, Ben, did an excellent job describing the sites, history, and fun facts. His pace was perfect for us. We saw the highlights of the city including the Cathedral, Opera House, Independence Hall, Palace plus the market. He gave us some good information about the city and Vietnam’s history while trying different Vietnam coffee. We would highly recommend this tour.

Great intro to the highlights - I booked this tour for my first day in hcm. The city is heaving with excitement for the upcoming 50th anniversary celebration of independence. Casey my tour guide arrived on time. We covered all of the highlights. Getting local perspective of war remnants museum was fantastic. The Coffee stop mid point was very welcome and refreshing and in a very cute and hidden venue. I enjoy supporting local tours and tour guides.

Ben is a wonderful Tourguide. - Ben is a really excellent guide. He has a deep understanding of the country’s complex history and is able to tell it in a way that weaves the history together. He loves his country and this shows a lot, which is just wonderful. The coffee stop was so enjoyable and a chance to talk about many things. It is important to remember that as westerners (we are from Australia) we may have been taught different viewpoints, and it is very important we listen to the Vietnamese. I’m so pleased Vietnam has developed such a burgeoning Tourist Industry. I thoroughly recommend Ben; he has a great sense of humour is knowledgable and considerate. Jen and Red.

Highly recommended! - This tour is a great way to hit the highlights of the city. Our guide Larry was extremely knowledgeable as he explained each location, along with the history and culture of Vietnam. We also had tons of questions and Larry never hesitated to answer any of them.
