We had the most amazing time last night on our private tour of HCMC. Our guide Hai and driver Eric were both very friendly, entertaining and knowledgeable about the history of Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City. Despite the appearance of chaos on the streets with the millions of scooters/motor bikes and cars Eric managed to make us feel at ease with his careful driving. We enjoyed tasting and experienced traditional Vietnamese foods with the locals, and even though not really foods we were used to Hai managed to encourage fussy eaters to try. If your undecided on which tour to take, you definitely can’t go past this private tour in open jeep also very welcoming in the late afternoon heat.

C'était super, chauffeurs prudents et très attentionnés, la guide très gentille, nous a bien expliqué la vie locale, excursion très bien organisée, très bons restaurants, parfait. It was great, careful and very attentive drivers, the very nice guide, explained local life to us, very well organized excursion, very good restaurants, perfect

It was our first night and a great way to orient ourselves to the city. Very enthusiastic and informative guide. Excellent communication with the guide prior to the event. So much food we couldn’t eat it all! It was a highlight!
