Do not miss this experience. - Manh is an amazing tour guide who is full of energy. Very knowledgeable and friendly. I thoroughly hope others get to experience this tour before it disappears completely. It was terrifying and exciting at the same time and somehow we all felt safe due to the amazing riders

Cyclo tour - An Exelent tour, Manh, was extremely helpful, polite, and knowledgeable. The cyclo drivers were also wonderful, and they are obviously happy in their work. I have been to Ho Chi Minh before, but this tour took me to areas and many streets I've never been to. Wonderful way to see the city.

AM Cyclo Tour - Manh was an incredible tour guide for my private cyclo tour! He was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and answered all of my questions with a big smile. I loved the flower market and he helped me find the perfect color combinations to build a large bouquet. The ride along the streets and through all of the traffic was exactly what I had hoped for. I can’t recommend this tour enough. Request Manh as he will double as your personal photographer!

The only way to explore Ho Chi Minh! - We had an awesome time exploring HCM with Manh! It's a great way to get involved with the hustle and bustle of the city (without getting on a scooter). The cyclo riders were terrific and Manh was so knowledgeable about the city. We loved visiting the flower markets and trying our hand at folding a lotus flower. Also exploring the temples. This is a must do if you visit Ho Chi Minh! Would recommend lots of sunscreen and maybe something to cover your legs if you are going in the middle of the day.

Slow Cyclo Tour Treat - This Cyclo tour was a treat. Cyclos are a great way to see the city. You're in touch with the people and smells of the streets and it's slow enough to appreciate everything around you. Manh is an adept tour guide. He knows his country's history and is proud to share it with you which makes the tour well worth the effort.

Saigon city tour with James - We had a great tour with James as our guide. He was very friendly and enthusiastic, and had lots of good knowledge of the history and culture of the area. The War Remnants Museum was very sobering. Would definitely recommend this tour.

A must do experience! - I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Manh our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the different sites we visited. Small touches like buying us a traditional Vietnamese drink and a lotus flower each were very much appreciated. The cyclo drivers were excellent and we always felt safe. All in all an excellent experience!

Ho Chi Min highlights by cycle rickshaws - Great tour and such a really interesting way to view the city. Travelling on the cycle rickshaws in amongst the Ho Chi Min City traffic was so much fun and a really laid back way to enjoy the area. Joey was a fantastic guide, so lovely and provided us with lots of local knowledge. Recommend this tour.
