Reviews
Had a private tour with a Chinese guide and he was great. Transport was comfy. Tour guide regularly took photos for us. Tour was good and flexible. We finished early because we already had been to one of the places on the previous day and the weather was very hot that day. we had lunch at Hoang’s and there was more than enough food for the 6 of us. Drinks during lunch was not included which was fine. overall would recommend.
It was a fantastic tour. The tour guide was excellent and always ready to take pictures of us. He explained everything in detail and he went over and beyond. The attractions were also amazing as well as the driver. Lunch was absolutely amazing
The tour was well organized and completed as planned. Mr. Kevin, our tour guide has a wide knowledge of the area, history, and culture. He really brought everything to life in such an engaging way. He was not only informative but also incredibly friendly, patient, and professional throughout. Highly recommended!!
We had a great time on the Saigon City Highlight & Chinatown day tour with the water bus experience! Even though we couldn’t visit some historical sites due to our limited time before our flight, the tour was still well-organized and enjoyable. The water bus ride gave us a unique view of the city, and exploring Chinatown was a fascinating experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and accommodating, making sure we made the most of our time. Overall, it was a great way to see Saigon in a short period!
Our tour guide Sam is super friendly and knowledgeable. She gave tips to where we should go and enjoy vietnamese food. our driver is also cooperative, they even goes out of the way to teach us which way to go the next time we stroll on our own. The tour itself is worth the price. We had lunch in Hoangs Kitchen - superb taste and ambiance. our tour supposed to be with a small group but was "upgraded" into a private tour due to circumstances which turned out well and favored to us. The SST Travel is highly recommended. thank you and hope to book again in our next visit.
We booked two tour package in klook from SST travel,One day city tour and Chu chu tunnel tour.The tour guides were extremely helpful and shared us the great details about the Hoi chi min city’s history and culture.Love how they are so motivated and hard working to provide great service to their clients.Really Appreciated their great customer service. The only thing we like them to improve is their lunch option be cash they don’t have much options if you don’t eat beef,pork or seafood.But it was good overall. Will recommend it👍🏻
We have Lyly as our tour guide, she was patient and polite and explained the history of Vietnam and was with us explaining as we went along pick-up on time.

A Saigon city tour combined with a waterbus ride offers a vibrant blend of urban exploration and scenic relaxation. Discover key sites like the War Remnants Museum, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and Central Post Office. The waterbus ride along the Saigon River provides a refreshing perspective, especially at sunset, revealing stunning cityscapes.Thank for SST Travel make our trip memorable. Thank again Mia
