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.
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!
Excellent and Great tour. The guide Mia was friendly, the city was stunning, and everything was well organized. I and my family had a wonderful time
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!!
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
Our tour guide, Sam, was really nice, accommodating and thoughtful. We really enjoyed the city tour. Also, the choice of food for lunch was so delicious which highlighted the cuisines of Ho Chi Min. Overall it was fantastic.
We had an enjoyable time on our Saigon City Highlight and Chinatown Day Tour with Water Bus Experience. We were picked up from our accommodation and chauffeured to many sights. Khang our guide was very knowledgeable and was happy to share all he knew of the history and culture of Vietnam.

Learned a lot from the tour - highly recommend if you're interested in the history of Vietnam and the city! Would appreciate a bit more time for some of the stops, but was still enjoyable overall.
Our first day of the tour was truly amazing! We had an unforgettable experience with this tour agency. Everything was well-organized, enjoyable, and definitely worth it. A very special thanks to Ms. Sam, our tour guide. She was incredibly helpful and attentive. She always checked on us to make sure we were okay and asked if we needed anything. She also recommended the best food in town. She is an excellent tour guide — very kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. We really felt well taken care of throughout the trip. We also want to appreciate our driver, who was very professional and made our journey safe and comfortable. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the service. Highly recommended! We will surely recommend this agency to our friends and family who plan to visit Vietnam. And when we come back, we will definitely book all our tours with them again. Thank you for making our trip truly memorable! 🙌✨ Especially to Ms.Sam thank you sooo much
