Our guide was fun & enthusiastic the whole trip - he made us participate by asking questions from time to time instead of just regurgitating information. The restaurant we ate at for lunch had good quality food too with appetizer & fruits (as dessert) served for the table. The only complaint would be the hot van because they didn’t turn up the AC.
it was a hassle free and convenient trip!Weather was perfect!Our tour guide Mr.Duy was so nice,very attentive and informative.He speaks good English and Mandarin!I must highly recommend this trip!
the day tour was amazing due to our tour guide - LAN VI. Amazing personality, very helpful nature and understands people. thank you soo much for making the trip memorable. I had a small infant and the way she took care of him sometimes - really appreciate her attitude and care. we need more guides like her in Vietnam. one of the best i ever came across. she is just amazing. thank you so much for every assistance and help you did during the day trip.
If you're pressed for time and only had one day in the city, I highly suggest this tour. My only complaint was that the time in the War Remnants Museum is not enough because of the sheer amount of pictures and text that one can read. Our guide K was amazing. He spoke fluent English, is knowledgeable and is enthusiastic during the tour. All of us were taken care of and we had a lovely time bonding with our co-tourists. The lunch was also great!
This was the last tour I booked and I'm so glad I did. Yes, you can go to these places alone, but going with a knowledgeable guide makes it so much better. I was solo so I joined others and it was wonderful. I would highly recommend and our tour guide took such great pictures. Book the tour!
Le Quang was great guide and host. Knowledgeable, professional. I had difficulty connecting w/ tour at beginning and he very patiently guided me to meeting tour. Much Appreciated. Thank you.
The Ho Chi Minh City main attractions tour was great, and it was even better that it included visits to temples and pagodas. The pick-up and drop-off service to hotels in District 1 made it even more convenient. Our guide, Sunny, was cheerful, explained everything well, and even treated us to coffee at Cong Cafe, which we really appreciated!
it’s a good experience to get to know HCM we wish the tour guide speak louder so we can hear her but overall it’s good tour.
