A must in HCM City - Chow, a very dedicated and informative young guide who has a lot to tell. His English is excellent with a British accent acquired through watching Netflix and Disney+.
Absolute Recommendation for the tour. Was very interesting and was a lot of fun. Chow will make his way. Wish you all the best for the future.
