The local red-dressed employees were all sitting. It was raining and I could hardly find anyone to exchange tickets in the crowd. I was a little unhappy.

We had a great experience on our Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong River tour! Everything was well-organized and seamless, from pick-up to drop-off. Our guide, Vinh, was excellent. His English was great, he was very accommodating, and he made sure all the guests were comfortable and taken care of throughout the day. He shared a lot of interesting information and patiently answered everyone’s questions. The tour itself was packed with activities but didn’t feel rushed. Highly recommended, especially if you get Vinh as your guide!

If you want to explore Saigon, double decker bus city tour is one of the best option. During our ride the weather is good, we go there at 4:00 pm even though it was day time still I love it. It was our first time to ride the city tour bus. so we are amazed because we see the beauty of Saigon. Best time to ride is 6:30pm because you will see the city lights.

The Indochina Cruise will start at 6:30 pm, so you can enter and take photos while waiting the food to be serve. It was a great experience, there's a lot of food you can picked. You can see the night lights of Ho Chi Minh City.
