Flexible itinerary as there were only two of us on the tour that day - Excellent walking tour which lived up to its name, the hidden gems. Our guide Titus was fantastic so knowledgeable and cool. He made us feel like he was showing his friends (us) around his city.

Hidden Gems Tour in Ho Chi Minh City - I took a Hidden Gems tour in Ho Chi Minh City, starting at the tour office where our guide greeted us. It was a small group, just myself and another person, which made for a very personal and engaging experience. Our guide led us on a walking tour through various significant spots across the city, each with its own story. One of the most impactful moments was visiting the site where a Buddhist monk self-immolated in 1963. The guide recounted the story with great detail and respect, providing a deep and moving insight into the historical event. Throughout the tour, the conversation flowed easily; our guide was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely personable, making the whole experience feel like a casual stroll with friends. Midway through, we stopped for Vietnamese coffee, which was a delightful treat that added to the tour's local flavor. We concluded at a hidden cellar that once served as a storage for weapons during the war and where a spy resided. Overall, this was a great tour that combined historical depth with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I recommend it to anyone looking to uncover the less-known stories of Ho Chi Minh City.

Such a nice way to discover Saigon - We had such a lovely time with Christian who was very gracious and did everything at our pace. It was interesting to discover little hidden gems of Saigon that we might not have seen/known if we went on our own. I would highly recommend this tour. We did 8.30am start which is a good idea to try and miss most of the heat of the day.

Would recommend the tour - Today went on the tour. We passed multiple must see locations. The guide provided good explanations about every location. Especially the last location where you go into the secret basement was interesting.
