great trip. The guide is well prepared and friendly. A very well-chosen program of attractions.
It was very good. We visited the Thien Hau Temple, the Reunification Palace, War Remnants Museum and the Central Post Office. It’s a great overview for visitors who only have a few days in the city. The guide was very good, but she seemed in a rush towards the end of the tour.
This was perhaps the best and most informative city tour we’ve ever been in. Our guide, Bao was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of each of our stops. Would highly recommend this tour if you go to HCMC.
We did a variety of tours over the course of three weeks, but this was by far the best. However, you should be interested in the Vietnam War and the political background, otherwise it might be a bit overwhelming.
This is a very comprehensive introduction to HCM city and its highlights. Loren is an excellent guide - thoughtful and instructive. We learnt a lot in a short time and experienced a little of Vietnamese life.
This 4-hour tour was an absolute must-do! Our tour guide Henry - was exceptional—friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. It was clear he had done an enormous amount of research into the history, and he shared it in such an interesting and easy-to-understand way. The tour was packed with fascinating information and gave us a real insight into the history, culture, and people. His passion and enthusiasm made every stop memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. It was one of the highlights of our trip and worth every minute!
