Excellent Ho Chi Minh City Tour - We enjoyed our private half day city tour of HCMC with Mr Luc as a private guide - he is knowledgeable and very professional. We had loads of flexibility and were driven safely in comfort. We gained a good overview of local history and culture on our tour. Would definitely seek out Mr Luc’s services when we travel to HCMC again.

Great tour during airport transfer - Even though I had only several hours during my transfer at Ho Chi Minh, I managed to see the city with my guide Luc. The Tour was partly by night, in a comfortable car, with stops at the most interesting spots. Luc dynamically adjusted the route and narration based on my expressed (directly or indirectly) interests. Very enjoyable tour and a great lesson of Vietnamese history and culture. Highly recommend!

Knowledgeable and accommodating - Luc was an excellent guide for this tour. He was knowledgeable, and provided an excellent commentary on the places we visited. Our half-day tour was in the morning, and Luc made adjustments to the itinerary to better fit with our plans for the afternoon and evening. For us he substituted the history museum for the War Remnants Museum. All in all he gave us an excellent introduction to Ho Chi Minh City.
