We had such a great time on the HCMC Motorbike Adventure & Street Food Tour! It was DEFINITELY one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, Kai, was amazing. He was so patient in sharing stories about the city, answering all our questions, and making sure we understood and enjoyed every stop. He also took so many photos of us, which we really appreciated because now we have lots of memories to look back on! Minh was also the sweetest! He gave me a cute paper heart plane as a birthday gift, and it honestly made my day extra special. Such a simple but thoughtful gesture that I’ll definitely remember. 🥹❤️ Thank you so much, Kai and Minh, for making our experience so fun and memorable! We learned a lot, ate delicious food, and got to experience HCMC in such a fun and unique way. Definitely recommend this tour!

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.

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.

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.
