This was our first evening to Ho Chi Minh and are both very happy with the choice. Our guides were Thành and Thông. They were great drivers and had selected a great variety of options for our tour. We highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a great adventure with delicious food.

We had an incredible evening with our four guides Clover, Nhu, Ngoc and Dong. They took us to exciting places, many of them were secret gems! We got to see a different side of Saigon and the food was very delicious too. I couldn't think of a better group of guides, and would always recommend to go on this trip!

I had a great time on this tour. It was private, just me and my driver, Quy. He was knowledgable and flexed the schedule based off of my feedback (I wanted to try certain dishes). He was very accommodating, and a safe driver given the crazy traffic. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Saigon.
