Great guide, excursions & fun. - We had an amazing time with Li, he is very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We Ended up booking another 2 additional trips than planned due to how much we enjoyed the first. We did the Mekong Delta, City Sights, Cuchi tunnels and Monkey island. In this time I think we discovered most everything in south Vietnam. The lunches provided were in beautiful places, comprehensive in quality and quantity. Our driver was also brilliant, professional and courteous. Don’t hesitate book now!

Lee is an awesome tour guide! - Lee is a very dedicated, fun and humble tour guide. Our family started with the Cu Chi tunnels and Saigon tour. Lee provided us with comfortable and safe ground transportation. Along the way he educated us about the history and culture of the area. He is a walking encyclopedia and we learned so much from him. His light-hearted and good natured manner endeared him to our family quickly. At the end of the day, we were convinced to book another tour with Lee the next day to his hometown area of the Mekong River Delta. We were able to explore the river and many islands to learn about the region’s deep agricultural experience and work ethic. Both tours exceeded our expectations, as did Lee. We strongly recommend his tour services.

Fantastic and rich tour with an entertaining and knowledgeable local guide - Fantastic tour with our wonderfully entertaining and knowledgeable guide Lee. Lee really brought Vietnam’s history to life, often referencing his own family experiences and upbringing to give tremendous context to the tunnels and delta. Comfortable transport, great food and drink, and really interesting side trips to visit artisans, beekeepers, candy makers and a taste of local fruits accompanied by traditional music really helped make this a rich experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!!

Wonderful 2-day trip to the Chu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta - We went on a 2-day trip (on separate days) to the Chu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta. It was wonderful 2 days and very educational as we learnt about historical facts, I was not aware of before. The first day was spent at the Chu Chi Tunnels and we had a private guide called Lee, who walked us through the tunnels. He was a very humorous guide and really kept the trip interesting and entertaining. Lee’s relative had fought in the war, so was able to provide valuable insights into the traps and history of the place. We got plenty of time to visit the site and managed to try out the activities (eg. Actually go under the Chu Chi Tunnels). The timing and pacing of the tour were excellent and we returned to Ho Chi Minh in good time to visit the War Museum. Lee was a fantastic guide and I would highly recommend him. Day 2 was spent at the Mekong Delta with the lovely guide Mia, who was just starting out her tour guide career. We visited various islands and at each destination, we ate different types of food, which was great and interesting to learn the making of such things as chocolate bars. We went on a boat ride and did some cycling through the villages. The lunch was fantastic as well just like all the food in the country. It was Mia’s first tour and I felt she did very well. She was very friendly and tried her best to answer all our questions. She made sure we were always safe and pleased to take pictures on our behalf. We really enjoyed our 2 days at the sites and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Best Full Day Tour in Saigon - I was on this Halal Muslim private tour with my 60+ year old parents and my siblings age 20s-30s. There were 5 of us and we thought this is by far one of the best tours we’ve been on. From the administrative part to the actual tour itself, it is so well organized and well communicated. It is definitely worth the price paid for. 100% Let me start with us enquiring with Henry, the sales director. The response was so quick and well explained. Although I did asked some questions, where the information was already available in the tour itinerary, Henry was still so patient and always ended his emails with a positive note. He was not pushy and yet recommended the best options for the tour. Payment process was also very simple (via Paypal). Initially we took quite a while to confirm the tour as we had several options, but Henry did check with us if we had any concerns and tried his best to accomodate. We did not regret. The actual tour itself was amazing. The pace was just right. Lee , the tour leader was multi lingual, humourous, patient, friendly and definitely did his best. The energy and vibe he gave really showed he had passion for what he is doing. His timing was just right, and we managed to avoid the crowds and jam. He answered all our questions and made us feel comfortable to ask and talk abt anything. He offered to take photos, helped to bargain, gave alot of tips (information) on travelling in HCMC and even had quizzes at the end. We get to visit where we wanted to visited, experience what we wanted to experience and ate what we wanted to eat. Although we were delayed a little because we shopped abit, Lee and the driver were so understanding and patient, afterwhich they tried to catch up on the time. One of the most memorable and WOW moment we had was when he presented a gift made by his wife at the end of tour. Thank you so much Henry and Lee. We will definitley recommend this tour to our friends and relatives, be it they are muslim or non-muslims.

Private Tour to Remember! - We spent New Years Day on the day tour with Mr Lee visiting the Cuchi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta on a private tour and can say without question that it was an incredible day. The day started with Lee picking us up from our hotel in a spacious private taxi - the driver (whos name I cannot remember) was also very polite. Lee is extremely attentive and very funny and engaging with excellent English. The car (which was private for just the 2 of us with Lee and the driver) was a Tayota Innova so plenty of space and a very comfortable drive. Bottled water was given to us straight away for the journey. 1st stop was a craft shop that produced art made by the victims of agent orange - some beautiful art and we could not resist buying some. From here we drove to the Cuchi Tunnels where Lee took us for a personal tour around including spending a little time in the tunnels as well as a tour around the site where Lee gave excellent explanations of everything there whilst maintaining an engaging and funny nature. The tunnels are an excellent site to see and for me are a must see on any visit to Vietnam. How people survived in that network of tunnels I will never know but an incredible feat that must be seen. The tunnels have been made wider (although still quite a tight fit) for the tourists to experience but its the whole surroundings and how they have made it tourist friendly that really works. They also have a shooting range here so fired an AK47 which again was an incredible experience. We watched as groups were breaking off or trying to gather to hear the explanations but being on a private tour we did not feel this as Lee made sure that we experienced the tunnels and surrounding areas to the fullest. From here we made our way to the Mekong Delta - Lee arranged a private boat with just us on there, where we initially went for Lunch. Lee arranged a lovely lunch at a restaurant that included numerous courses of traditional Vietnamese foods. From here a trip across the canal in a rowed boat that went across a canal that was deeper in and not where the group tours were going. This made the experience nothing short of magical and felt as though we had the canal with all the amazing scenery to ourselves. From here we took a private horse and cart to the coconut farm where I had my first experience (and last) of snake wine! We chose not to visit the honey farm and instead began the journey back to complete a wonderful day Lee throughout was an excellent guide and the experience was definitely more enhanced by being a private tour. I cannot recommend the service enough and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit the tunnels and Mekong Delta - doing it privately and with Lee was definitely the right choice so thank you Mr Lee and hope to see you again! Best Wishes Taj and Amra
