Nhan and Quoc Bao were fantastic guides! We adventured through city’s the different districts on a motor bike to see the history and lifestyle of the Vietnamese people. It’s a very authentic tour! If you come to Ho Chi Minh City this tour is a motorbike tour that you should book. I recommend doing this tour if you’re looking for an authentic tour around Ho Chi Minh City.

This is a great tour, especially for people who just arrived in Saigon, like me. My tourguide was Kelvin. He was wondeful, gave me a lot of information, answered all of my questions and is an excellent driver (which is really important). Really a recommedation!!

This was a really great experience. The guides were professional, friendly and spoke really good English. Definitely recommend if you come to Ho Chi Minh City.

Harry was excellent. He spoke english very well and had a great attitude. I'd recommend him to anyone!
