Saigon sights in an arvo - Had a great afternoon out with our tour guide Kelvin who helped us to understand the history of Vietnam, particularly that relating to the war and atrocities associated with it. I enjoyed too learning a little about Buddhism at the pagoda.

Kelvin, the awesome guide from Ho Chi Minh City... - Kelvin feom Kim Travel deserves the guide of the year award for his service. His knowledge of Vietnam is outstanding, and he is always willing to explain something further if you need more explanation. He was also very helpful with taking photographs, especially as I came along as a solo. I would recommend Kelvin for any Ho Chi Minh tour. Amazing aircon on a sweltering day. The water was well deserved.

Great tour! - Really great tour where we got to see and experience some of Saigons most popular landmarks. Our guide, Jackie, provided us with all information needed and made the tour extra special for all of us participants. Best thing is that the group is small so you really get the time to explore and experience everything with a personal guide.

Awesome and Informative. - We participated in the afternoon part of the tour. My knowledge of Vietnam's history was very limited until this tour conducted by our passionate tour guide Jackie. His depiction of the events that shaped Vietnam were quite informative and interesting. Our only regret is not doing the first half of the tour.
