Private tour of Saigon - We (family of 4) booked a 1 day private tour with Henry prior to arriving in Saigon bc we had very limited time and had a specific area that we wanted to visit & also avoid other popular touristy attractions for other reasons. Henry was extremely accommodating and arranged for Mr. Lee to show us around the city, some that were off the beaten path. Mr. Lee was punctual, spoke very good English, very professional and knowledgeable and shared some personal experiences/insights re. the war and that his family endured. Oh, and he has a great sense of humor which we greatly appreciated! We all came away with a greater understanding of the war, the struggles and a diff point of view of the conflict. We enjoyed the tour greatly, learned a lot about the country and the people. We highly recommend Saigon Private Tour Guide!

The Perfect Guide for a Memorable Layover in Ho Chi Minh City - I had 10 hour layover at Ho chi Minh. Lee was not available but he arranged my tour with Linh, she proved to be an extraordinary guide, offering not just a tour, but a deep dive into the heart and soul of Ho Chi Minh City.
Linh's choice of local spots, was a highlight. It was a perfect blend of local flavors that left me craving for more.
Beyond the food and drinks, it was Linh's personal touch and deep knowledge of the city that set this tour apart. She navigated the bustling streets with ease, introducing me to places and experiences I would never have found on my own.
For anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City, I wholeheartedly recommend Linh as a tour guide. Her professionalism, and expertise make her an invaluable companion for exploring this vibrant city.
Thank you, Linh, for an unforgettable day in Saigon!

Great tour - Lee is champion. I had 12 hours layover at Saigon. Contacted lots of guides and he’s was the most proactive one and competitive priced. Organised the tour as I asked for, no questions asked. I would I highly recommend him and if I come back to Vietnam again no doubt will choose him again.

Wonderful trip - We had a great experience during our day trip and that’s thanks to the amazing tour guide and driver.
The tour guide gave us plenty of information and was very friendly and had a great sense of humor which created a very positive atmosphere during our trip. I would definitely recommend my friends to book this tour guide again.
The sights were very beautiful and the museum tours was very informative. The tour covered exactly what we wanted to see during our trip in the city.

Sensational Saigon - Lee M. was our tour guide, and he made our experience in Saigon special. He is outgoing and humorous, and imparts both historical and cultural knowledge abundantly. We went to a beautiful eco farm which is a well kept local secret. We saw all the sights in the city. Lee made sure we were all safe and well. His tour leading experience is evident; you will be in good hands with Lee!

13hr transit in Saigon! - My wife, 4 kids (14,13,11,10) & I spent a day with Mr Lee in Saigon. As we were transiting in Vietnam for 13 hours, Mr Lee put together an action packed day, where he collected us from the airport at 8am & dropped us back at 6pm in-time for our flight that evening. What an enjoyable, cultural & entertaining day with Mr Lee. It was much appreciated and we’re looking forward to visiting the Mekong Delta with you. Thanks again Justin

Great day tour of the city - Excellent tour seeing all the highlights that Saigon had to offer. I had booked the wrong date but they quickly accommodated me and arranged the tour for that morning. Ruby was a fantastic guide! Very helpful and friendly. Her English was excellent and she was very knowledgeable. The eco village was a great stop as it was not touristy and there was so much to see and learn. I will note that i had the choice of the palace or the war museum, not both. But it was a full day of exploring the city and I highly recommend.
