Another fantastic tour! I had the pleasure of exploring the city with so many stops, truly experiencing the heart of HCMC. My guide was wonderful—they picked me up right from my hotel and drove me safely to all the sights. He went above and beyond to assist me, even helping me negotiate better prices at the market. I highly recommend their service!
Luc gave us a guided tour through a number of landmarks in Districts 1 and 3 in Ho Chi Minh, including an open market, Chinese and Buddhist temples, Reunification Palace, Lacquer picture showroom and the famous War Remnants Museum. Luc spoke fluent English and gave us a detailed history and meaning to all the landmarks. We learnt a lot about Vietnam history and culture during the day. The tour also included a buffet lunch in a well known hotel. Luc is an excellent guide and we would certainly recommend this informative and pleasant tour.
