Great tour! - We did the half-day city tour as a family with two young teenagers. It was brilliant. Great tour and very informative on the culture and history of Vietnam. I would have never seen this side of Saigon. Tony is our guide, and he’s very experienced and friendly. I definitely recommend the tour.

What a great tour. - A fabulous afternoon of learning ! Tony was an entertaining and engaging guide who shared a good balance of culture and history of Vietnam. He gave us examples and made the knowledge accessible as well as explaining the differences between Northern and Southern culture. He showed us around his city and gave us recommendations for our time here.He answered our questions and ensured we had all we needed to have a comfortable and enjoyable experience. We experienced the city by car and walking and the temple visited add to the culturally experience. He picked us up and dropped us back to our accomodation making it an easy afternoon for us. We would highly recommended and really enjoyed our time with Tony.

Amazing - Tony has the best local knowledge and takes genuine pride in showing off the authentic culture and history his home city has to offer. Our ship was an hour and a half delayed, but Tony and his driver handled it well. Thanks Tony for a great day.

Excellent tour guide and memorable visit. - We had an excellent tour guide called Tony. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our cruise arrived late and hence, we were late for meeting with Tony for an hour and a half. He waited for us patiently. If we go back to visit Ho Chi Minh City again, we definitely will have him as our tour guide again.

Perfect start to a Saigon visit - What a great afternoon, Tony provided a lot of history and background stories of Saigon. Not your typical cheezy tour guide but a very genuine guy who knows his stuff and has a real passion for educating his clients, as well as making for a fun afternoon.
