This is definitely one for the books experience and a must try if you are in HCM. I think apart from the food which are great, what really elevated the experience is how kind and courteous the tourist guides are (which are by the working students - how amazing is that?). Kodus to you Tan, Winston, and Dani! I hope you all succeed in your studies and future careers! It was nice meeting all of you.

A MUST! This is the most artistically and musically athletic thing I have seen. The show is also interactive and cultural. I would want to watch this again when I go back. Get the most expensive ticket! They have some welcome refreshments

Great way to see Ho Chi Minh City! We booked the double-decker tourist bus through Klook and the price was cheaper than booking directly. The ride was comfortable and relaxing, and it’s even better in the evening when you can see the beautiful city lights.

This is an experience not to be missed. Our guide, Dragon King, was wonderful. He speaks perfect English and showed us a side of southern Vietnam we didn't know existed.

My tour was scheduled on Mar/08 but due to unforeseen reasons I called up the tour operator to have it rescheduled and they didn’t hesitate a bit to do it free of charge . Today’s Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels tour with Nicole was an absolute highlight of my Vietnam trip. Her boundless energy kept the group excited from the boat rides through lush delta canals to crawling through the historic Cu Chi tunnels. Cu Chi Tunnels Adventure At the tunnels, her lively storytelling brought Vietnam War history to life, explaining the 250km network while encouraging safe exploration and even range shooting. Nicole ensured everyone felt comfortable, patiently answering questions with a big smile. Mekong delta Nicole’s enthusiasm shone as she led us on sampan boats past Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise Islands, sharing fun facts about local life and stopping at a coconut candy workshop for tastings. Do buy Candies from this local community and support them .

I had an amazing motorbike tour in Vietnam! Kate was a very good tour guide and driver. Para kaming magtropang nagjojoyride hahaha! She was friendly, professional, and made me feel safe the whole time. She also shared interesting stories about the places we visited. She even recommended really good restaurants and cafés, which made the experience even better. I got to try great local food and discover places I would never have found on my own. The ride was fun, smooth, and very well organized. I had the best time exploring and seeing the city in such a unique way. Highly recommended, especially if you get Kate as your guide! Thank you for such a great experience! Maraming salamat po!
