Ben did such a great job and really knew his stuff. Lots of great tips from best places for coffee, shopping, and lunch.
Very interesting tour. We enjoyed learning about the history of the city and were lucky enough to experience the city during the public holiday celebrating their liberation/independence.
Simon was an excellent tour guide! We loved war time US embassy, now a coffee shop upstairs- delicious.
It was a great and interesting tour. Simon was our guide and he was very entertaining and could tell us a lot about the city and Vietnam. We were very pleased.
It was a great tour. Simon was a guide with very good English and gave us a lot of good information. I'd be happy to.
Cracker of a tour. Big Larry customised the tour for me and took me a special place I was interested in
Simon was a great guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly. We learned and saw a lot during the tour. It helped us orientate ourselves as well seeing key points in the city easily. I'd recommend this tour. Thank you Simon we thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with you.
Our guide was alright, but unfortunately the itinerary isn’t very good. They take you to touristy spots and “call it done” without really giving you a really local experience. Definitely not worth the money that we paid.
Hi, we would like to thank you for the feedback and we are very sorry for the experience you had. There are few note we would like you to know so we can understand each other more. First, we would love to made it up for you. However we can not see your name that is why it is quite difficult for us to know when you do the tour or the code of your booking. Second, most the location in the tour are main attraction for the local and tourist, we can not make sure these places always quite, so it can be quite crowded and make you feel a bit touristy. Once again, we are very sorry for the experience you had. I hope when you come back, you can let us know, so we can make it up for you. Thank you - Larry
The tour was amazing. Casey- my tour guide was fantastic. She took me to many places in HCMC like the City Hall, central post office and the Church. I would highly recommend this tour to other tourist who wanna learn about Saigon.
Great tour of Ho Chi Minh City with Casey. She adjusted the schedule for us and took us to all the places we wanted to visit. The coconut coffee was delicious. Would recommend to everyone.
