Ho Chi Minh City Half-Day Tour - This tour offers exceptional value. Our guide, Jun, arrived promptly, and along with the driver, we visited notable sites including the Reunification Palace, the Cathedral, the War Remnants Museum, a temple, and a local market. The price included all entrance fees and a bottle of water. Jun's English was excellent, and he was very knowledgeable about the places we explored

Mekong delta and Cu Chi Tunnels, best day trip!!! - This was an amazing day out! We did so much, got to learn all about the history of the Vietcong and go through the tunnels. A delicious lunch was provided and a beautiful ride along the Mekong delta on two boats. Definitely do this tour. Maximum was our tour guide and was so informative, friendly and hilarious.

Comprehensive Saigon city tour - Kim is a very good guide to take us around Saigon. She provided us a very thorough description of the independence palace and the background behind it. We also saw the war remnants museum and central post office with her providing us the setting for these visits. Upon our request she was flexible to accommodate our request to view a laquer ware factory even though not in our plan. She also suggested karaoke to keep the kids entertained in the car. Lastly the pagoda temple where we learn how the Chinese influence the religion and beliefs in Vietnamese day to day.
