Khoa is commitment to excellence that ensures a highly professional and courteous experience. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic to tell us all about his country and share their history. He spoke English very well and answered all of our questions. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Great experience. Our guide was very Informative and cared about our safety in heat Nd walking. He even took us to. Harley Davidson shop out of the way. Definitely a good experience
A private driver and guide picked us up at the Phu My Port from our cruise ship. We were a family of three. The pre-trip communication was great. Our guide, Khoa (otherwise known as Eric), was very informative and gave useful information regarding Vietnam’s history on the way to Cu Chi Tunnels. The Cu Chi tunnels were very interesting and Eric was excellent at explaining each of the sections. His English was great. Shooting the AK-47’s was also a new and fun experience. We were dropped back at our cruise ship port. We had a really good day. However, traffic was very busy and we spent a lot of the day in the car getting to/from the Cu Chi Tunnels. Don’t underestimate the travel time and traffic. Luckily we came with snacks and drink bottles otherwise we would not have had time to stop for lunch. Thank you
The tour itself was really good, the guide was very informative Unfortunately the driver was terrible he drove much slower than the speed limit which made the 3hr trip longer & Unfortunately we were late back to the cruise ship by about 40 minutes
Had a fabulous day , the car and driver were fantastic and what can we say about our tour guide he was absolutely amazing, he chatted and shown us maps and talked to us all about the tour. Took us to a lovely local restaurant where the food was delicious. Would highly recommended this tour
This tour is an excellent way to see a great deal within limited time! All details of our tour were perfect starting with a friendly and knowledgeable guide, comfortable and clean car, specialized experiences and itinerary, and finally with a focus on our unique desires and interests. The day was filled with top things to see in the city while being balanced with personalized and unique experiences off of the traditional tourist trail. Our guide ensured that we were prepared by providing us with background information, explaining details at the site, and answering all of the questions we had. Because of our guide’s commitment to our enjoyment, we learned so much about the culture, city, and history and have left with a great desire to come back again and explore even more with our amazing guide. Our guide, Terry, was absolutely fantastic! Being able to customize the day and have a personal guide to tour highlights was a great experience. We made lasting memories and a gracious friend to visit next time!
Good tour, gives you the opportunity to see both Cu Chi Tunnels and Ho Chi Minh City, although because of traffic we spent a lot of time on the road and couldn't see all the landmarks in Ho Chi Minh City. Our guide, Xuyen was great and did her best to create nice memories for us.
