It's our second day in Saigon, and I was looking for unique activities, so I searched on Klook and booked an activity to experience the city like a local. Our tour guide, Mavis, speaks English well and is both kind and cute. She went the extra mile to ensure we truly experienced local life in Vietnam. We visited places we had never been to before and discovered some of Vietnam's hidden gems.
I enjoyed the tour! It was supposed to be a group tour but turns out I was only one who booked that particular date & time - thank you to Hung for the very informative tour! I enjoyed learning about the history of Vietnam war. It was also my first time to visit a Buddhist temple. I really enjoyed the coffee & the flowers were so beautiful!
We do enjoyed the tour! It was supposed be a group tour ended up bcome private tour. We travelled by Grab transport together with tour guide. His name is Robert, friendly and fluently in English. W3 do enjoyed learning about the history6 of Vietnam, old apartment, hidden tunnel cafe. It worth the value to discovered of Vietnam's hidden gems.
The tour with Anthony was truly valuable. We experienced places, food, and drinks that we wouldn't have been able to on our own. Our whole family, who wanted to experience the local side of Vietnam, was completely satisfied. Thank you for the kindness of the Vietnamese people.
our tour with Linh as our guide was amazing. She took us to places we would never have gone on our own and the information she shared about the history of Vietnam as well as her personal experiences as a young woman studying at university was memorable. We learnt so much and got to see so much more that the westernised restaurants of District 1. we had opportunity to eat noodles and drink coffee in the locals markets. And then gave us recommendations of even more places we may enjoy. Thank you Linh we will definitely recommend the tour and you😊
I was the only participant, so it became a private tour. It was the best tour, and our guide, Mr. Ho, was excellent. I felt like I got to see the real Ho Chi Minh City as it is today. If you come to Ho Chi Minh City, you should definitely take this tour!
Jade, the tour guide, is very fluent in Chinese. She explains things clearly, is friendly, and answers every question throughout the entire tour. During the tour, I not only learned about the history and culture of Saigon, but also ate a lot of local specialties, like milk fruit and Vietnamese tofu pudding, which I tried for the first time, and the super delicious rice paper rolls, which were truly amazing. I definitely wouldn't have been able to eat them without someone taking me. It was a great half-day tour experience, worth participating in~
today I had a amazing tour with Lang. she is verry Professional and here Englisch is verry good . she give me a lot of Information about the Historie, Culture and of course the Places we visited. Thank you verry much for this morning Tour 🙏
Tour guide Mr 陈 was very friendly and shared many interesting details and stories about local culture and the places we visited. The included meal was also delicious and serving size sufficient. Would highly recommend this walking tour!
the half day city tour to explore local life in Ho Chi Minh is such a good experience specially that I am the only one who booked the tour and it seems it is a private tour to me. Tour guide Mavis is so good explaning about the history and life of locals in the community. though the tour involves walking to different areas of the community but it is worth it and it is a great exercise at the same time.
