Insightful and a friendly tour guide! - I had such an amazing time, it was eye opening to see parts of Vietnam that I otherwise wouldn’t. The tour guide was great :)

Great adventurous day! - Our group of 4 had a private tour of the slums in busy Ho Chi Minh City. Our guides were 2 Anh’s, Huy and Logan. Lady Anh and her crew were hilarious. We had a great morning on and off their scooters. We would never have seen this side of the city had we not go on a tour. Definitely a highlight of our Vietnam trip!! Highly recommend booking this tour!

Best ever - This was the total higlight of our stay in Vietnam. This is not just a tour of the slums (and you get a very intimate look of them by walking trpugh them and you meet people and see their daily life), but it is also a city tour that shows you things beyond turist attractions and also partially a food tour, since you get to try the coffee at the oldest coffee shop in town and a noodle beef soup. We also had amazing time; it was like going out with friends. If you are to choose one tour in Vietnam, do this one!

That was the best!!! - This tour would have to be hands down the best tour I’ve done in Ho Chi Minh. My guide Vincent took me everywhere showed me anything I wanted to see and was just amazing. I can’t recommend him or this tour enough. There is no way you could experience the true culture without doing this tour.
The coffee shop is just so good you have to try the coffee with the butter in it. Again Vincent thank you so much you’re just a true gentleman.

Amazing tour to slum - Although we didn't have balls to drive motorcycles in HCM ourselves, we are glad that we had Peace, Anh and some friends as our guides to look around HCM by motorcycle. This is an amazing tour, and I recommend you come see yourself. They speak English very well, so you can ask them all you want to know about HCM besides the slum. Not only did we learn about the culture in HCM, but also we realized how Chinese culture mixed with it. Thanks to Peace's knowledge and Anh's ride.

Fantastic ! - Everything about the tour was outstanding. Our guides Cuong and Peace were friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a first hand insight into the poorer areas of Saigon. We learned about the history, the people and the changes that have happened in the city.
The tour is edgy enough to be exciting but at all times we felt perfectly safe in the hands of our guides.
Thanks for a great day out

Thoughtful Slum Tour - It was really good opportunity for me to get around 3 levels slum of town in Ho chi Minh. Surprisingly I was one of a few Asian travelers. I could vividly see life of ordinary people. The guide knows very well about district government plans, local life history and epic Vietnam history. Afterward relax time at seasoned cafe was also really nice and thoughtful. I recommend it to you.
