An excellent journey in Ho Chi Minh City - I have been very busy lately, and I don't time to write down my thoughts on this journey. Now I will review it. As soon as the plane landed that day, the tour guide Louis was already waiting for us at the airport. We arrived in Ho Chi Minh City at 9pm local time, but he did not show any fatigue, but instead greeted us with his kind smile and took us by coach to the hotel. During one part of the whole journey, we went to dinner on a river in Ho Chi Minh City. There was a band performing for us on the boat and thr were able to sing in the language of tourists. It was really sincere. Then we went to visit the Cu Chi tunnel, which is a famous historical and cultural heritage in Vietnam. Getting the guide ’s care and clear explanation along the way gave me a better understanding of Vietnam ’s wartime history. Throughout the journey, I would like to thank Louis in particular. We would never have had such a satisfying experience without him. He is willing to listen to our opinions, take the guest as the center, and then make itinerary for us. If you want to buy something, you want to go anywhere, even happy hour, as long as he can do it, he will take you. I think this time I met not only a good tour guide, but also a good friend on the other side of the earth. I am looking forward to the next journey with him!

The most interesting and well planned tour of Vietnam ever led by Louis. - If you’re looking for the best tour of Vietnam, look no further because you have found it with Louis! During my tour with Louis on 26 November 2018, his amusing personality really brought life and colours to Vietnam. On the bus, he would constantly tell us stories and jokes which really catered to us teens who could not sit still for long. During our visits to important historical sites such as the Cu Chi tunnel, Louis would give such a detailed and interesting accounts about the place that will not only shake you in your core but also, shed a tear in your eye as we are brought to reality about how Wars can affect us in the past, present and the future. As mentioned earlier, Louis has such a friendly personality. During our trip, he really saw us as friends and we would chat for long hours about the life in Vietnam and it’s culture. For instance, he once brought us to taste the famous authentic Vietnamese pho noodle and coffee which taste is beyond comprehension as it richness will just make you crave more. Moreover, during our last day with Louis, he told us; there is no goodbye in Vietnam, but rather, we will meet again next time. Moving 2 years forward, we are still in contact with one each other and I’ve got to say, this guy is really amazing and such a good Friend. In all, I would recommend his tours to anyone that wants an authentic trip to Vietnam!!j - Darrick

Excellent experience and great tour guide - Lucas is a very responsible and experienced tour guide, he provided us with excellent service. During the tour, he satisfied our requirements, for example take us to a fantastic sky bar in Ho Chi Minh city and take really good care of us. The arrangement of the entire itinerary is perfect. Not only increased my understanding towards Ho Chi Minh City and Mekong River Delta, it also makes me fall in love with the city. For me, it is really a impressive journey and I have a lot of fun. Recommend this tour to all people who want to travel to Ho Chi Minh City and Mekong River Delta.
