Highlight of the trip! - It was amazing!! Win and Ly were so friendly and easy to talk to, we were both very impressed with their English too!! They were very knowledgeable and answered all of the questions we had, and we thought they had really great knowledge about the history of Vietnam! They made us feel so comfortable on their scooters, they were very safe drivers and gave us good instructions on how to sit on the back 🥰 the food was all really amazing too, and they were able to explain each dish to us in great detail which was super helpful! Overall we had an amazing time and it was definitely a highlight of our trip to Vietnam! We will definitely be recommending them to our friends who are visiting Vietnam in December 🥰🥰🥰

Vietnam Trip - July 2024 - The trip was very well organised. Highly recommended. We enjoyed our stay in Vietnam and all our guides were very helpful (Tri at Mekong Delta, Nia for cu chi tunnel and city tour, Den for food tour). You will not regret booking your tour with DC Saigontours.

DC Saigontours - Highly recommended in HCMC! The best! - If you’re planning a trip to HCMC, Vietnam, look no further than DC Saigontours. Their city tour, Mekong Delta day trip, and scooter street food tour are nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we started planning our trip, Cam was incredibly accommodating and patient, answering all my questions promptly and thoroughly. The rates offered by DC Saigontours are competitive, providing excellent value for money. Our tour guide, Timothy, was the highlight of our trip. His command of the English language is impressive (love his accent!), and his sense of humor kept us entertained throughout. Not only is he a talented guide, but he’s also a fantastic singer! The way he serenaded us during the Mekong River cruise was so sweet and dreamy. There was never a dull moment with him. Even if when we were in transit and traffic was slow, Tim entertained us still by doing karaoke right inside the van! How much fun that was. Tim’s dedication to ensuring we had the best experience was really evident in all his actions. He went above and beyond, even helping us buy some bahn mis despite the long line. When I encountered bank issues, Tim stepped in and saved the day for me! (thanks also for the Co Hai reco) His photography skills are also commendable, capturing fabulous photos that we will cherish forever. We slay there indeed! The airport transfers provided were seamless, adding to the overall positive experience. The scooter gang, Den, Asa, Peter, Wing et al were amazing. Their energy and enthusiasm were infectious, making our trip even more enjoyable. Special shoutout to Cici whose warm welcome set the tone for our marvelous trip! DC Saigontours comes highly recommended for their excellent communication, outstanding service, and commitment to ensuring a memorable experience for their clients. They truly unlocked core memories for us, making our trip fun and unforgettable. Thank you, DC Saigontours!

The best way to experience HCMC. - The best way to experience HCMC. Quinh and Cici were lovely hosts who were very knowledgeable and most of all accommodating for our tour. We enjoyed the sights and food of our tour and we’re more than happy to show us a little extra. We felt safe on the scooters. Highly recommended experience (but come hungry).

DC Saigon Tours - THE BEST - Cam provided excellent service and support pre trip as she planned our trip right down to the last detail even before we left Australia and stayed in constant touch throughout our trip. She expedited our delayed visas and made sure we were constantly advised as to when visas would be issued. In Vietnam her follow through and concern for our best interest / itinerary was appreciated through her daily contact. This was part of our pre trip requests. Every part of our trip went to the planned timetable and was hassle free. Even concerns we had around specific tour operators or hotels were responded to immediately. For older persons travelling in small parties this was a perfect travel service.

Cici and Quynh were incredibly knowledgeable and engaging - Cici and Quynh went out of their way to ensure a memorable experience for us. It wasn’t just about the amazing food at every stop but the thrill of exploring the city with two knowledgeable and charismatic locals. Every stop was something new and we got to try a variety of new and amazing foods while soaking in the local atmosphere. One of my highlights was the flower market which they gave so much information about. Cici and Quynh had such skilled and safe driving. It was my first day in the city but I felt so safe in the chaotic traffic and I can’t recommend them enough.

Highly recommendable! - DC Saigon Tours was very honest about their advise. We were going on a day tour and thinking of either Mekong Delta or Cu Chi Tunnels but they advised our time may not be enough and we might miss our flight later during the day. They suggested tours that would fit our schedule and were very patient to follow up when we couldn't make our minds. We finally took their suggestion for a Street Food Tour by Scooter and were sent 2 lovely girls who toured us joyfully for about 4 hours. I have loved Vietnamese Foods even long before but knowing about them more and even watching how they are prepared was awesome. The tour guides were knowledgeable and even gave additional info on places and people aside from their knowledge of the foods we ate enjoyably. Ability to take good photos is also a plus 👍and most of all, they altered their regular spots to fit our requested time. We felt comfortable with the ride despite the busy traffic. Will love to use them again in the future and highly recommendable to friends. Keep up the good work!
