What an amazing way to experience Ho Chi Minh City! 🛵🇻🇳❤️ My sister and I had SO much fun on our motorbike tour! Riding through the busy streets, discovering different parts of the city, eating foods like a local and experiencing Saigon from a local’s point of view made this one of the highlights of our trip. A special thank you to Emmy and Lucy, our excellent tour guides! 🥰 They were friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable and safe throughout the whole experience. We laughed a lot and truly enjoyed every moment with them. Definitely a must-try when visiting Ho Chi Minh City! Thank you, Emmy and Lucy, for making our Saigon adventure extra memorable! 🛵✨🇻🇳 10/10 — we would happily do it again! ❤️

We had a wonderful morning exploring Ho Chi Minh City with our guide, Penny. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the tour both enjoyable and informative. We visited the Saigon Central Post Office, Independence Palace, and the War Remnants Museum. Penny shared fascinating insights into the history and culture of each site, making the experience even more meaningful. Unfortunately, the Notre Dame Cathedral was closed for renovations, but Penny ensured we still made the most of our visit to the area. The tour was well organised from start to finish. Our driver was punctual, friendly, and professional, and the private vehicle was clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned, making it easy to relax between stops. This was a fantastic introduction to Ho Chi Minh City, and we highly recommend this Klook tour. If you're lucky enough to have Penny as your guide, you're in for a memorable and enjoyable experience!

This tour was for my parents, wife, kids and I and we had an absolute ball! All 6 of us were on separate scooters and all drivers were fantastic. Ellie and her team made the night wonderful and gave a good in depth knowledge into stops around Ho Chi Minh City. Food was fantastic, and for what we thought were going to be small tastings, they were fulls meals and drinks with all of us so full by the end. Highly recommend Ellie and this tour if you stop in Ho Chi Minh City.

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.

This was an amazing experience! The tour guide assigned to me, Hana, was very knowledgeable and patient and explained everything and answered my questions so well! She spoke great English so communicating with her was very easy. She also drove her scooter very safely and skillfully. I loved getting to know about Vietnamese history and culture and getting to hear stories about all the places we visited made this experience very enjoyable for me.
