Reviews
Not only we enjoy the trip but also learned a lot! Sam, our guide, is very helpful, fun and knowledgable. The itinerary is definitely family friendly, no hassle. We were guided every step of the way!! Will definitely take this trip again!!
My partner and I are very happy with this tour. Alice from customer service was very helpful from the moment we booked and kept us updated throughout the process. We opted for the limousine transfer, which was clean & comfy. The lunch provided was really good as well. A special thank you to our tour leader, Duy. She was very knowledgeable about the places we visited, and her local food recommendations were spot on! The view from Black Virgin Mountain was amazing and we absolutely loved it. Visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels and Cao Dai Temple was a great combination of history, culture and scenery. As this was our first time visiting Vietnam, experiencing these places made the tour even more special and memorable for us. Thank you also to our driver for safely driving us throughout the day. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vietnam. Thank you to Alice, Duy, our driver and everyone at SST Travel. Keep up the great work! 🇻🇳❤️
a fantastic tour, jam packed with three amazing stops. Da Ben mountain was lovely, spotted a couple monkeys! the Tay Ninh Holy See temple was beautiful place, also spotted lots and lots of monkeys here too!! finished up with the Cu Chi tunnels visit being last, which was an incredibly educational and great experience. 100% recommend this for a great day trip from HCMC! special thanks to Sam our guide and our group organiser, Alice, who provided information and updates about our tour promptly and was just helpful.
It was an amazing day trip learning and exploring all 3 locations. I would like to first thank Mikey for helping us arranging pickup from the hotel despite staying slightly away from District 1. And also Johnny for being an awesome tour guide giving us insight of each location's history and stories. Highly recommended!
We were contacted by both Alice (CSO) and Milo (guide) the night prior to the trip, with precise instructions for pick up. Milo was very helpful and arranged pick up from our hotel for our group (iso the destinated pick up point). He was attentive throughout the trip, knowledgeable, friendly and made the tour enjoyable. Both did a great job and made the experience smooth and memorable. Highly recommended!
The tour was really fun but what made the trip really great was because the people behind it are really accomodating and caring. As soon as I purchased, Ms. Alice already messaged me regarding the trip and a day before the trip she also messaged me to remind me about the trip and the pick-up time. Will was the one who guided us during the tour and he is really helpful and informative, plus points because he knows how to capture photos really well using iphone! Being accomodated very well means so much to me because I’m a solo traveller. Thank you Ms. Alice and Mr. Will.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tour with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide! We had a really enjoyable experience on this tour. Our tour guide was very friendly, experienced, and knowledgeable. He did a great job explaining the history and background of every place we visited, which really helped us understand the bigger picture of Vietnam’s history and the Vietnam War. The way he explained the stories made the whole experience much more meaningful and astonishing. His English was also very good and easy to understand, so we had no problem following the explanations throughout the tour. The food provided was delicious as well, which was a nice bonus. One thing to note: we went on a Sunday (weekend), and the traffic on the way back to Ho Chi Minh City was quite crazy. The journey back took much longer because of the traffic, so I would recommend keeping some buffer time if you have evening plans. Overall, highly recommended!
We really enjoyed the trip! A special thanks to Seven, who was very passionate about explaining the history and taking good care of all of us. His English is also very good, which made it easy for us to understand his explanations. Seven was friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the trip, and we truly appreciate his effort in making our experience so enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the whole journey! 😊
Our guide, Mr. Huy, was very friendly, patient, and made the trip enjoyable. We were a group of eight, and everything went smoothly because everyone was cooperative. One of the highlights was visiting a handicraft workshop and gift shop that supports people with disabilities. We were happy to purchase some items to contribute to the charity. The mountain scenery was beautiful, although the weather was quite hot and humid. Lunch was decent, but I think it could be improved by offering more meat dishes instead of mostly vegetables. The meal included an egg omelet, soup, chicken, tofu, and bananas, which felt a bit limited. I also felt that the second temple visit wasn't really necessary, as it was just a very brief stop before moving on. Overall, despite these minor points, I was happy with the tour and had a great experience. I would recommend it, especially because of our excellent guide.
Our guide, Huo (Justin), is very accommodating, nice, funny, and helpful. He is very knowledgeable of the places visited. Food is alright, served more on vegetable dishes. Sufficient and will fill you. The mini bus is okay. The aircon is not that strong but still depends on the weather. Early in the morning, it can be cold but in the afternoon may be kind of hot.
