Definitely worth a trip to learn a lot of how Vietnam Evolved. - Hannah arrived very punctually at our hotel (not on the drop down list) & off we went to meet driver Lucky who accompanied us on our journey. My husband does have some mobility issues with finding it hard to walk down lots of stairs & on uneven ground but Hannah was duly patient so didn’t cause an issue. Hannah bought us entrance tickets to The Independence Palace & The War Remnants Exhibition. Entrance to the Temple & Old Post Office building was free. Hannah accompanied us throughout each stop & was very informative & illustrated her chats with a mini laptop which made lighter work of absorbing data rich information. Fascinating accounts of the various countries involved with war with Vietnam throughout the most recent years. The most harrowing of stories encapsulated with amazing journalistic copy & war time photographs. With such a short stay in Ho Chi Minh City this tour provided the flavour of Vietnamese life. Sadly we were restricted at The Temple with inside photography but still have some memorable shots externally. The Gods were quite spookily portrayed hence the desire to capture them!

Great tour! - The tour was amazing. My personal guide, Jen, was very knowledgeable and attended to minor details. We went to the Independence Palace, War Remnants Museuum, central post office and temple. She also took me to look for durian through 2 different markets. Finally we found a street vendor at Ben Thanh market which cost a lot less. Thank you Jen and the driver for their patience. I would highly recommend the tour.

Ho Chi Minh City Half-Day Tour - This tour offers exceptional value. Our guide, Jun, arrived promptly, and along with the driver, we visited notable sites including the Reunification Palace, the Cathedral, the War Remnants Museum, a temple, and a local market. The price included all entrance fees and a bottle of water. Jun's English was excellent, and he was very knowledgeable about the places we explored

Decent way to see a bunch of sights - The tour was ok overall. The driver was thirty minutes late to arrive, which was disappointing. We were able to swap one of the attractions for the Pink Church, so that was nice. After the Independence Palace, however, we were taken to a touristy shop with multiple rooms of products, which was not listed on the itinerary. We ended up cutting the tour short because we were quite tired. Decent way to see a bunch of sights without having to call multiple taxis.
