Vy and his colleague were very friendly and helpfull. It was a pleasure to speak with the both and learn such things about the history of Saigon ! The tour was very interesting I will do it again if I ´ll come back ! 👍🤩
Great morning experience with Kay (Khang), touring local neighborhoods and some wartime sites. Most meaningful to me as a VN war vet. Kay's English is good as well his driving skills.
We enjoyed this interesting half day tour. We went to places we wouldn’t have gone ourselves and learnt a lot about the recent history of Saigon. We also enjoyed the experience of being driven around the city on motorbikes - quite exciting! Win and Linh were great tour guides - friendly, knowledgeable and very competent motorbikes riders. We would happily recommend them as guides.
Motorcycle is the way to go if you want to really see Saigon, and this is a very good tour to join. I had a a lot of fun, learned a lot and even got used to the infernal traffic.
Chris did a great job of showing me around the city. He safely drove his motorbike and his English is excellent. Chris is very knowledgeable about Vietnam and it was a great day!
I got to see alot of places that I wouldn’t have got to see. Being on the back of a motorcycle was a lot easier to get around. My guide was Henry. He was lovely and amazing.
This tour provided a great opportunity to see some important historical sites and have them explained from the perspective of a local tour guide. Kay, my guide, did a great job of providing information about Saigon's past, as well as the lifestyle of its current residents. It might sound unnerving to ride around the city on the back of a scooter, but you get used to it very fast! It's a great way to see and feel the city.
You get comfortable riding on the back of a scooter very quickly! It is a great way to see the city city, at street level, where you can feel what's going on around you, as well as see it. My guide, k, provided a lot of wonderful perspective on all the historical locations we explored. He also gave me a lot of great insights into contemporary life Saigon.
A great tour with a really nice guide. Het told us a lot about the history of the city and showed us some very interesting places.
We have had 3 different tours in 4 days with this company, Chris the tour leader and Ling our driver were an awesome team with the priority of us enjoying every aspect of the tours, they tailored each day to suit our needs so we got the best experience. We have been on many tours in many different countries and these two have set the bar at a very high standard. Thank you team, you have filled our trip with fantastic memories, Tim, Diane, Murray, and Corina.
