Saigon full day tour - It was a great experience for me and my friends. The tour guides are friendly, caring, and knowledgeable; know their stuff and showed us around and gave us info about places we visited. We love the dinner cruise on IndoChina Queen boat. Good food with beautiful view of Saigon river. Thank you Maika Tours; what a great travel company in Ho Chi Minh City. I will book tours again with you guys and also tell people that I know.

HCMC and Saigon Tour - Perfect! - The guide was informative and friendly, and on time with a name board within the hotel lobby. The tour was packed full of interesting places, and lunch was provided at a nice, clean restaurant. Food was tasty and plentiful, you only had to pay for drinks which was reasonable. Transport and driver was great, clean and safe. The tour was a full 8 hours, and even in the rain, the guide ensured an umbrella was always available when needed. Thoughtful! A very worthwhile tour when visiting Ho Chi Minh City for the first time.

Ho Chi Minh City Tour w/ Tan - We had the most incredible experience on a tour with Tan in Ho Chi Minh City! From the moment we met him, his warmth and passion for sharing the culture and history of this vibrant city shone through. Tan’s deep knowledge combined with his engaging storytelling made every stop on the tour memorable.

Fantastic private tour!! - I only had 14 hours in Ho Chi Minh City as a solo female traveler between 2 overnight flights and I cannot say enough good things about this tour. All communication ahead of time was clear and easy and Mr Tan, my tour guide, was delightful! He and the driver took care of everything from pickup, lots of cold water, luggage and drop off. I loved seeing the local markets and areas as well as going for Vietnamese coffee and lunch! They took me to all of the tourist spots as well and arranged entry to everything. But my favorite was definitely the local side and feeling like I made a new Vietnamese friend. Thanks for you taking such good care of me, Tan!

A perfect intro to Vietnam! - We couldn't have asked for a better welcome to Vietnam! Tang gave my family and I just a wonderful introduction to the fascinating city of Saigon! We visited all the top spots and shared great conversations during our two-day private tour - and of course a memorable rickshaw ride!

Perfect tour around Saigon. - Great full day trip to all the major sights in Saigon. The guide Lang picked me up at my hotel at agreed time and the tour began. Saw a lot of interesting places including places without tourists. So nice to be with a private guide. Temples, marketplaces, museums and a great lunch. Thanks to both my driver and guide. You made this trip great. A lot of information about your country - past and present. Can highly recommend this trip to all who want to get deep insight in Vietnam. And do try the Salt Coffee.

Private tour of Ho Chi Minh City - Our day long tour of Ho Chi Minh City was a terrific experience. Our guide (Nam) and our driver met us in the hotel lobby as agreed upon. The vehicle was a very comfortable Mitsubishi van with ample room. They had cold water and wet wipes as well. The tour took us down local alleyways where we saw the flower market, local food sellers, etc. We went to many many sites of historical relevance; too many to list here. Lunch was multi course and very good quality. All entry fees, coffees, and lunch were included in the price of the tour. After all of this they returned us to our hotel. I highly recommend this tour.

Experience Ho Chi Minh city rich tapestry of history, culture, and lifestyles with a knowledgeable local guide. - It was a wonderful day, I recommend you to experience it when you are in Ho Chi Minh City. We started our great day by heading for a beautiful stroll through the pretty Ho Thi Ky Flower Market, the biggest in Ho Chi Minh City! We got to view the daily life of the city’s local traders while we navigated by Cyclo through the narrow winding streets of the market before we explore the Saigon Chinatown. I would recommend you to try Cyclo tour when you book this tour. The tour guide, Mr Long is so friendly and knowledgeable.
