Perhaps the most special... - Perhaps the most special experience in all of our tours throughout various countries in Asia. Our guide, Liam, was simply spectacular. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, enthusiastic, thoughtful and he always anticipated all of our needs (provided water, bathroom breaks, etc). Liam went above and beyond all of our expectations! He provided our group with memories for a lifetime. Liam is a special person with a heart of gold.

Day Tour Chu Chi Tunnels - An was an excellent tour guide and trip was well planned for the entire day. The driver was excellent too as not easy with so much traffic and so many motorcycles.

History worth seeing - Ryan was an excellent guide who txt me the day before with instructions of how to exit the Port from our cruiseship & where we would find him .. very informative trip to the tunnels & I even went down them .. not bad for an 80 year old. Lunch in a Michelin star resturant in Saigon was a lovely surprise. I highly recommend this tour

Truly Amazing Excursion thru Ho Chi Minh City and the Cu Chi District - This trip was an absolute incredible adventure! We were greeted by our personal guide Vinh Nguyen “Liam” promptly at 8:00 a.m. The transport was an extremely comfortable sightseeing van with excellent views for taking pictures while on the drive. They really took pride in their vehicle, as was evident by the freshly cleaned windows for photography. Liam was a very enthusiastic young man with a great sense of pride, passion, and professionalism for his job. He possessed a great understanding of the history of his country and was so willing to share all the aspects of the country’s culture as we drove to the Cu Chi District. I consider myself a pretty good historian, but I learned so much truth and insight from this gentleman this day! We were never rushed during the tour, and every aspect of life in Vietnam was graciously explained. The Cu Chi tunnels were incredible! The history of why they were located and built in the manner they were was eye-opening! My adrenaline was on high all day! Being able to go to Vietnam and sharing this experience with my family was definitely one of the best experiences in my life! If I get an opportunity to return, I will definitely meet up with Liam again!

Fantastic tour, highly recommend!! - Captain Bruno was an amazing guide! So much enthusiasm & passion for his job. Really appreciated the driver as well given it was such a long day. Both were amazing and really made a difference in our experience in HCM. Despite running late due to our late disembarking Bruno made sure we got to see whatever was on our list!

Vietnam war tunnels and city highlights - Our tour guide Liam was very friendly and obliging. We left the port of ho chi Ming to see the tunnels of the Vietnam war. His knowledge of Vietnam and the many wars Vietnam were involved in was informative and interesting. We later entered into the city of ho chi Ming which is very busy so don’t expect a quick trip. Liam accommodated all our needs and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Cu Chi Tunnels and Saigon in a private vehicle - BEST Tour and operator - If you are in Ho Chi Min City, this is the best tour. It comes with a private car, with a very professional driver and a fantastic Guide named Lawrence Huynh, who did a great job of showing us Ho Chi Minh City and we made a lot of stops that were interesting in their own right each time.Highlights included Downtown Saigon at night, which has a vibrant and busy nightlife. Seeing this with a private guide is the only way to go in my opinion, he knows the City and its ins and outs extremely well. It seemed like a family member was taking us around. The Cu Chi tunnels are a historic treasure that show the horrors of the tunnels, and how they were constructed and used. This is a bit of moderate walking and if you choose to go into the tunnel as I did it’s very tight and claustrophobic, but very exciting! The complex has a lot to take in and signage to read about the Vietnam war that you probably didn’t know. Many dioramas and artifacts like an American tank that was destroyed and how the tunnels were hidden at the surface. Extremely engrossing! After the tunnels we were treated to a floating restaurant that has local dishes that were delectable and tasty. The service was stellar and they are very attentive. (See pictures) After that I thought the tour would be over, but no, there was downtown Saigon where we made many stops in different neighborhoods and were able to get out and walk around to get a real feel for the city. Lots of young folks out and about, a very vibrant and interesting nightlife. One of the really amazing parts was watching young people congregating and enjoying coffee and snacks together, all very well behaved. The drive to and from the Cruise port was interesting in itself, not a boring drive at all. Varied landscpes and villages we passed through giving you a taste of how the locals live and work. I’m not sure what I expected, but Saigon is a very clean, civil place where the locals have pride in their neighborhood and keep it very clean and are welcoming to tourists. Overall I give this 9/5 stars, 5 just doesn’t do it justice. Luc our driver was great and handled the heavy traffic like a Boss! This is a long tour by standards, but I wouldn’t have missed any of it, and really appreciated the depth of the journey and how 12 hours sailed by like 5. If you want to really see Saigon and the Cu Chi Tunnels, this is the tour for you. I feel the tour was very reasonable considering the length of the journey, the fabulous food, and the camaraderie we felt with the guide. I consider them extended family as we spent so much time and learned so much about a fabulous city that some would shy away from. Take the plunge and have a memorable day with these two in the comfort of a private Toyota SUV that never misses a beat.
