Hi! I just wanted to give a little feedback on my tour guide Kevin. He was absolutely fantastic today. He took really good care of me, was very informative, and made sure I was happy with all of the service that was provided. I highly recommend this tour and Kevin as a guide! Thanks Kevin - It was a pleasure meeting you! ❤️ If you're considering taking this tour do it! It was so cool riding in the Jeep and it was excellent having a personal tour guide and not feeling like you're being herded around like cattle. All of the stops were highlights I really wanted to hit and they were done efficiently and effectively. Being that your guide is yours you have say over how long you stay at certain venues so feel free to architect the morning as you like! If you don't want to look at those helicopters just tell your guide "let's skip it". If you don't want to explore that room don't. It's all up to you just let your guy know what you want. Doesn't get better than this!
Cruising through Saigon in a vintage Jeep was already a thrill, the open air ride gave me a raw, unfiltered view of the city's colonial charm and morning buzz. But stepping into the War Remnants Museum added a whole new layer. Standing beside the fighter jet and Huey helicopter, I felt the weight of history settle in. The contrast between the lively streets and the sobering exhibits made the experience powerful and unforgettable.
Forget walking tours, this jeep ride was the way to go. We zipped through traffic, stopped at historic sites, and soaked in the street life. The guide knew his stuff, and the whole vibe was relaxed but rich in detail. It felt like sightseeing with personality.
Exploring the city in a vintage jeep was both fun and meaningful. We saw key landmarks, learned about the past, and felt the energy of modern Saigon. The guide was great, and the route gave us a real sense of the city's layers. It was short, but it left a strong impression.

Seeing the city's landmarks from a jeep gave everything a fresh twist. We visited old government buildings, war sites, and cultural spots all while cruising through traffic like VIPs. The guide shared great stories, and the whole experience felt smooth and exciting. Would totally do it again.
Exploring Ho Chi Minh City in a vintage jeep was a vibe. We cruised past historic buildings, buzzing streets, and local markets , all with the breeze in our faces. The guide was fun and informative, and the open air ride made everything feel more alive. Definitely not your average city tour
This tour was short but packed with energy. The jeep gave us a unique view of the city, no windows, no filters. We stopped at historic sites, learned about the past, and felt the pulse of modern life. The guide was friendly, the route well planned, and the whole vibe was just fun. Highly recommend for first timers.
The central post office surprised me because it still operates like in the old days, people still send letters and buy stamps, it's not just a monument. The notre dame cathedral is under renovation, but it still retains its majestic appearance with red bricks from Marseille. The war musium left me speechless - the photos, artifacts, and stories... everything felt very real. The jeep took me through those layers of memories, gently yet profoundly
As a French person, i was really surprised to see the imprint of my homeland present in the heart of saigon. Sitting on an old jeep, i passed by the central post office, the city theater, the city hall, all with familiar french architecture. Both nostalgic and full of life. An experience that made me feel closer to Vietnam
