An enjoyable brief visit to Ho Chi Minh City - A very good private tour coordinated by Eric and Jade our tour guide is excellent. Jade is energetic and has been patient in explaining the history of the Vietnam to us. She has been very helpful when we made last minute changes to our itinerary. She found us a good restaurant for pho noodle and timed our visit to the market well. She also went out of the way to help buy take-away of the famous local delicacies to take back to the ship to enjoy. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Will highly recommend this agent if you plan to visit Vietnam
