Street Food by scooter - We did the motorcycle tour and we loved it. The guides were super friendly, attentive and took us to eat in places we would never have been able to get to on our own. It was an incredible experience and one we would certainly repeat. Super recommended 👍🏻😀

Brilliant - Brilliant morning . Den and the crew were fantastic and made us feel safe and were very informative. I would highly recommend this tour. It takes you to places that you normally wouldn’t go to in Ho Chi Min

Fun way to see the City - Thought provoking tour of the War museum where Yang (our guide) left us to absorb the atrocities of the Vietnam war. We both found this part of the tour quite upsetting. Next we went to the Independence Palace where Yang told us about the history of building and explained things as we explored the building. Yang was good fun and showed us Book Street, Walking Street, the Post Office and the Opera House. This tour was great as it took in all the essential sites while walking around the city. Ensure you have plenty of water though as it was very hot but Yang took us for a coffee part way through and even recommended an authentic place to eat in the evening for us! A great way to see the City, would definitely recommend

DO THIS TOUR!! - Minh and L Xu were phenomenal guides! This was the perfect way for my husband and I to become acclimated to Ho Chi Minh City. The 4 hr tour gave us a wonderful overview of the different districts of the city. It was beautiful, fun, educational and delicious. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting HCMC for the first time. And honestly, the scooter rides alone were worth the cost of the tour! 5 Stars!!

Thank you Peter! - Peter is an extremely friendly and eager tour guide. We definitely felt his hospitality and his very great effort in making us feel extremely comfortable. My dad and I had to cute short the tour because he was suffering from a back issue. But Peter was extremely understanding, accommodating and adjusted the tour to our needs. Great job, Peter. Thank you for your guide!
