Awesome tour with local experience - Just would like to provide a quick positive feedback on my experience with my tour guide (Thanh) that I attended his scooter tour on Sunday morning. He arrived on time (even a bit earlier like 10 mins before 8am). He greeted me professionally to introduce himself and briefly discussed the travel plan for the morning in an orderly manner. He emphasised the necessary to wear a helmet as it's for safety and required by a traffic law, which is what I was impressed as safety is the most important thing. He is friendly, knowledgeable, pleasant to deal with, generous to order the broken rice with grilled pork with my requirement to have less rice, and served me many glasses of cold tea as I was thirsty from the hot weather. He explained in details about the history of Vietnam in general, the story of the Buddhist monk who burnt himself that created a turning point to the geopolitic of Vietnam's future, and we also discussed about religions, economics, investment ideas, and our personal lives. It was a memorable experience that I won't get anywhere else if I join a commercial tour in a big group. But, when I join this tour with Thanh, I get a personalised experience that we can spend time to do some deeptalk and get to know him as a local Vietnamese person. So, this tour experience really fulfilled my perspective of Vietnam to know the insight from the local's eyes like Thanh. I ended up happily giving him a tip for his excellent service. I wish him all the best for his study and future endeavour 🙂 I also thank the customer service team for being accommodative while I was worrying about flying through a big Typhoon from Japan to Vietnam.

Brilliant scooter tour in back alleys. Heaps of fun! - This was a such great scooter trip with a safe and helpful student driver. He was thoughtful and informative and asked where I'd already been so we didn't duplicate anything. We went down some amazing lesser known areas I would never have found myself. I'm in my 50s and felt safe but I still held on tight on the chaotic traffic. My guide was the best.

Awesome - Diverse - Something Unique - Phuc and Cici took my friend and I around for the afternoon at really short notice. We had a wonderful time and they were excellent hosts, showing us some places in Saigon that we wouldn’t have seen or, to be honest, known were there at all. From the historical to the local, the cultural and the culinary, they safely rode us around on their scooters - an experience in itself well worth the reasonable cost of the tour. My friend and I both commented that we couldn’t think of a a better way to have spent the afternoon. As students, Phuc and Cici were a credit to their University, Saigon and their families. It was lovely to be able to support them. I highly recommend this tour.

Navi and team were amazing! - Thank you so much for today! The kids are pumped and so are Sam and I. Such an amazing experience thanks to you wonderful people. We wouldn’t have experienced something like that without your guidance and knowledge. The best bit was coffee just chatting with locals. Good luck with your studies and we will definitely be back!! Thanks Navi! Xx

Must Go! - Our guides were very informative, kind and outgoing. We learned a lot of historical information that you wouldn’t necessarily know beforehand. The guides really know their stuff and enjoy sharing their knowledge with you. We also really enjoyed the coffee stop cafe and optional local dish there. I would highly recommend going on this tour if you have some time to spare! We were very happy with our experience!

Get the inside tour to Saigon! - This was truly one of the best things we did in Saigon! While it is nice to see the sights, look at the monuments and all that, for us it was the best having the opportunity getting the inside view of many aspects of life in Saigon when talking with Kimmy and Navi. And they were the best to show us around - and they are absolutely great scooter pilots! Always felt safe! Thanks to both of you!

Best Tour during our Vietnam Trip - Heidi and Shane - best guides ever! Very knowledgeable, fun, smart and genuine nice persons! Learned a lot about Vietnamese culture, food,history, religion- you name it. Splendid English and save scooter drivers. If you come to Hi Chi MinH City, you will be happy to have these two as your guides.
