This a great tour for visitors who love to see Ho Chi Minh City skyline at night. Our tour guide Loi , a very nice young guy who was so helpful, informative and explained what to expect during our tour. I wish to have a tour guide like him again in the future when I get back to Ho Chi Minh City. Thank you so much Loi, job well done!
