Things to do in Opera House

Wonderful day trip. It was a long day due to travel time there and back, but it was worth it. We had a great guide, and the transportation was well-organized and comfortable. The boat was excellent, with lunch, kayaking, swimming, and beautiful surroundings. The golf cart ride across the island to the cave and museum was also a lot of fun. It was nice that it was small-scale and not overly touristy.

Warm & rich experience in this walking tour session with Mina. She's kind and warm, and her knowledge abt hanoi is very interesting. Our group is small, only 5 people which make it easy to connect and stroll together around the tour spot. If you want to bring home not just photos, but real stories from Hanoi… this tour is a must. Truly :)

Since my hotel didn't offer pickup, I decided to go to the Hanoi Opera House. It wasn't far from the hotel, so that was fine. The pickup vehicle arrived about 10 minutes later than the scheduled time. The bus wasn't a luxury one, but it was acceptable. Before reaching Ha Long Bay, we first stopped at a shop selling goods. There was no pressure to buy anything. I just bought a drink. The boat we boarded wasn't large, but it was quite impressive. The boat departed around 10:30 AM. A buffet lunch was served on board starting at 11:00 AM. The meal wasn't bad. Ha Long Bay is a beautiful marine park, and you can enjoy the stunning scenery from the boat. Many tour boats dotted the sea, which was also a spectacular sight. There's a basic option to visit a short sea cave by rowing boat, and also time to enjoy kayaking. Taking a speedboat is an optional extra for an additional fee. On the way back, there was a cooking class on board, but only locals participated. Overall, if you're not focused on enjoying the scenery, it could be a bit boring. However, it was a wonderful opportunity to fully appreciate the beautiful scenery of Ha Long Bay. The sea was calm, so there was no seasickness. On the bus ride back to Hanoi, we stopped at another shop selling goods. Again, there was no pressure to buy. The shops were selling items that could also be bought in Hanoi, but at higher prices. These shops need to change. They should offer products that can entice tourists to open their wallets, at prices that are appropriate. That way, sales would likely increase. I bought another drink this time too. Our guide never pressured us. The guide was friendly and dedicated to their job. The price of a Ha Long Bay tour seems to vary depending on the luxury level of the transportation and the boat. The tour I experienced today felt like a mid-range option. However, I was satisfied with the tour because of the guide's kindness. I'd like to thank Allen, our guide, who was with us all day!^^

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!

Wow, what a fantastic experience, to sit on the back of a scooter and be part of the traffic, and not just watch it from the sidewalk. It felt very safe to ride with Tera and her friend. It was also a great pleasure to hear them, as locals, explain more about the sights we passed on the trip. Tera's story about Thich Quang Duc in particular touched me a lot. Thank you so much for teaching us a little about Ho Chi Minh Tera 🙏🇻🇳

We had a great time on a tour with Annie and Vy! The bike ride was exciting and enjoyed the entire trip throughout the city and the history of Saigon. Thank you both for being the excellent guides. We highly recommend the tour if you want to soak yourself into the hidden gems of the street life here.

This tour was so fantastic. I was introduced to local eateries and food specialities. my tour guide Jinny was the sweetest most attentive guide. She explained all the food that we were eating, how to eat it, when it is eaten, and many of the customs involved. this is my first time in Vietnam and this exposure to the local food has made me much more confident in what to eat. I have also never been on the back of a scootter and this was singularly one of the coolest ways to see the city. Jinny was such a wealth of local knowledge and I learned so much from our chatting about the local area. Thank you Jinny for a fabulous evening of food, company and excitement.

Great experience! The guides were friendly and gave us a good sharing en route of the various architecture and their history. My group also enjoyed the ‘off the beaten track’ sort of experience into the fields. We went in July and began our tour at 1pm. The weather started off with a light drizzle, then warm sunshine, and we ended the tour in pouring rain. The guides were well prepared with poncho and water and we were in good hands. Won’t be sharing much photos as the tour is something to experience for yourselves. Enjoy!

My boyfriend and I signed up for this walking tour to explore more of Ho Chi Minh City, and Lucky gave us an amazing tour. We were the only ones at this time, so we got a surprise private tour. We learned so much from Lucky and loved her energy. Thank you!
