Fascinating insight to Saigon life and culture. - wife and I took the ‘unseen Saigon’ tour; we were slightly nervous about taking scooter rides around Saigon, but T & Phi put us at ease and we felt very safe with them.
We learnt so much on this tour about Saigon culture and history and local-living; we visited many fascinating places we wouldn’t have come across otherwise.
T & Phi were great hosts and I highly recommend this tour!

Highly recommended - Absolutely awesome tour with Khoi as the lead guide. He was knowledgeable, flexible and amazing! Asked our preferences and always kept us in the loop for what was coming next. Great way to see local non touristy side of ho chi minh. Loved the experience and would highly recommend. :)

Fun time with Heidi and Wing - Heidi and Wing were energetic and made our trip to Ho Chi Minh City special with a mix of local great knowledge and humour to match. They are a great team and we could recommend anybody to see the unseen sights of HCMC to go with Heidi and Wing.

Brilliant less touristy tour of HCMC with fantastic guides. - A brilliant tour with Lily and Phuc today. They were very knowledgeable and nice and very safe drivers. It was great to see HCMC outside of District 1 and more local. Would recommend 100%. Thank you!

Fun trip exploring - Whizzing through alleyways on scooter, in and out of the madness of the city traffic and away from tourist spots was such a great experience! Our guides Shane and Heidi knew their stuff and we learnt alot about the previous generations of Saigon. The stories were delivered with great humour but also passion. We were able to see one of the oldest apartment blocks in the city and see how locals live.
It was such a personalised experience and much more fun than being on a large tour bus!
Highly recommend!

Saigon up close - It was a very interesting tour through Saigon. Kaih, my guide, showed me special places and told me a lot about the life and everyday life of the people. I also always felt safe on his motorbike. His driving skills were admirable. A very nice afternoon. I would happily recommend it.

Fantastic tour! - We had two wonderful guides who spoke good English and knew the history of the city well. They brought us to interesting places and even adapted the tour to skip spots we had already been. And very fun (and safe) on the motorbikes!

Lasted only 2 hours! - Guide was nice enough. Collected me from the hotel at agreed time. Was taken to about 5 locations ( where one burnt himself alive in 1963 over American War, secret bunker, old social housing, flower market and temple). As I did want coffee stop, I was dropped off back at my hotel. Exactly 2 hrs - I thought it was meant to be a more interesting 3hr plus tour.
Not good value I would say.
