Many attractions in one day - We only had one full day in Saigon and this tour allowed us to see all of the major attractions. Our guide Kim, was knowledgeable and flexible so we were able to experience a traditional local market. The jeep is hot but ice cold water was provided.

A tour which you may not miss! - We have booked this tour on very short notice, only half a day before. The tour was really that awesome. Everything worked out great - punctual, reliable, very well organized, all promised program points were 100% fulfilled. The tour guide Hai was super friendly, attentive and very well informed. We learned a lot about Vietnam from him. Also praise to the driver, who did his job very well. Again, thank you very much for the great tour!

A great fast immersive way to sample Saigon. - A great fun way to see the highlights of Saigon in a retro 1960’s US Jeep. Our guide Mr Hoa was the perfect host experienced, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his country and culture. The tour took us to all the best sites and have your camera ready as it is fast paced, and Mr Hoa has a light hearted funny way constantly dropping jokes, some landed well others left us wondering. Have you wallet ready for the tour of the lacquer factory, we knew on entering we would leave with a gift. Cold beers and cold water was a nice touch and all entrance fees were covered. Well worth the tour and would recommend.

Great way to see the city - If you are looking for a unique way to see Ho Chi Min, look no further, this is the tour for you! We booked our tour before leaving the UK. Eric contacted me the evening before to confirm the arrangements. The next day, we were met by the fabulous Miss Colbie as our guide and Mr Danh as our driver. Miss Colbie had excellent English and her knowledge of the sites we visited was brilliant. She took us to a Buddhist Temple, Independence Palace and The War Remanence Museum. We stopped for an iced coffee and a sit in the air con before a spot of shopping and haggling over prices with Miss Colbie being very impressed with my husband’s skills!! Our afternoon finished with a drive through the city with an ice cold beer! Mr Danh’s driving skills were fantastic in the Ho Chi Min traffic. A really enjoyable afternoon.

A great afternoon. - Was a great experience. Ken our guide was very informative and kept a look out for us pointing out obstacles in our way. Both he and the driver were mindful of our age getting on and off the jeep. Of course to be driven around in a 1950’s open jeep was cool. The rain stayed away fortunately. The cold beer and water in the esky helped too 😁

Wouldn’t recommend - We were disappointed in the tour. I booked the tour in advance and as the time came closer to the date i attempted to communicate with the operator, but he was not responsive. It was very frustrating since at 10 pm on the day before the tour the guide didn’t know where to pick us up. We had 5 people, so needed two trucks. One of them wasn’t military. We had one guide, so only 2 of us, riding with the guide, were able to get information while driving. Maybe that’t not critical, but that was one of my questions about the tour, which i couldn’t get answered because the company didn’t communicate. All tour sites were not far from each other and none of them really needed a guide. The Reunification palace has an audio tour and the War Remnants museum doesn’t need a guide. The market doesn’t need a guide. The pogoda is not that impressive. I don’t care that Obama went to visit it. Our guide was knowledgable and had a few interesting stories, but I wouldn’t recommend this company. We did an XO food tour and turns out they also do a “history” tour. I wish we used them instead.
