excellent tour. lunch included and was delicious 5***** tom cruise was our guide. what a guy !!! Brilliant.
Toured with BEO today. He was extra communicative, picked me up from hotel and whisked us over to the tunnels. He is really knowledgeable, friendly, and I had a blast (no pun intended) with my tour group. Will absolutely recommend this company and especially Beo.
This is an inexpensive tour and we found that you get what you pay for. The tour guide was good and led a fine tour. The van was OK - the leg space was quite cramped but ok otherwise. The service staff were difficult to deal with. The tour clearly says that hotel pickup was offered for hotels in district 1. A few minutes after we booked, we got a message that pickup was only for group of 4 and we would need to take a taxi since we were a group of 3. None of this is mentioned on the website and the staff was borderline rude in their interactions. Would not recommend.
Dear valued guest! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour guide and found the tour itself satisfactory. We would, however, like to clarify the pickup arrangement. For this particular tour, complimentary hotel pickup is only available for selected hotels in the center of District 1, as clearly stated on the Viator listing. Unfortunately, Hotel Nikko Saigon is outside our designated pickup zone for this tour. As your group consisted of three guests, we therefore asked you to come to the designated meeting point rather than arranging a separate hotel pickup. We understand that this may have been inconvenient, but this arrangement was based on the pickup policy shown on the booking page and was not an additional requirement introduced after booking. We’re sorry if our staff’s communication came across as unfriendly. That was certainly not our intention, and we will remind our team to communicate more clearly and courteously with guests. Warm regards!
tom cruise our guide was excellent lunch was fantastic.
Tom was an amazing and hilarious tour guide! Very knowledgeable and funny and gave us the best interactive experience. The organizing company is also very responsive and helpful. Pick up and drop offs are available at certain locations.
We liked the tour better than originally thought. I think the historical background is very interesting. The guide was very friendly and told us a lot about the history of the Vietnam War from a Vietnamese perspective. Two typical tourist stops (on the way craft factory and return restaurant) were already there. We don't usually like things like that, but people were fortunately restrained. Also, the stops did not take much time. I have experienced this very differently in Thailand and also in the USA. All in all, we really liked the tour. 👍🏻
Excellent tour, really informative. Guide was excellent, told us lots of information about Vietnam and the war. Everything worked perfectly from pick up at our hotel to drop off. Communication was was clear.
Tommy is a very knowledgeable, funny, and patient guide. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Highly recommend this tour!
We had a great am tour with Tuan - a war veteran. He gave us a great education about what happened during the Vietnam war, between the North & the South & what other countries were involved. Food was really good where we stopped for lunch, we would highly recommend the tour.
Really insightful half day trip. Specifically, Bac was an incredible guide. He gave loads of useful information to put the whole tour into context historically and in the moment as you went around. Would really recommend this trip, especially if you can have Bac as your guide.
