- 333arunah0 contributionsExcellent guideOur guide 'Mr. Hai' was excellent and very impressive.he made the tour a whole lot more interesting.the cu chi tunnel seems to be a very interesting and exciting (firing) place for a first time experience.Written October 8, 2024
- Berlingrad0 contributionsEducational yet very fun tour!Amazing tour, can only recommend! We learned everything about the warfare and how creative and inventive the Vietcong was in defending their country.Written October 7, 2024
- M5682IKmichaelc0 contributionsRiser, lasted one hour less than advertised.That company’s car picked us up from our hotel and took us to the boat one full hour late. By then, most of the buffet food was gone. Worse yet, the cruise was rushed and lasted one hour less and was rushed and not worth it. NOT RECOMMENDED.Written September 11, 2024
- Roving047639734970 contributionsHo Chi Minh City BHeidi and Qui did an outstanding job. They are well versed in HCMC history and have great insight into hidden gems all over town. Informative, safe, professional. I would highly recommendWritten August 22, 2024
- M8640IMkellyd0 contributionsFantastic street food tour.What an amazing night! Kahn and Castle were our guides and not only did my husband and I feel super safe on the back of the scooters with them, but they were so knowledgeable and oh so funny! It truly was a magical experience. Thank you both so very much for making this the best experience we’ve had in HCMC. 🙏Written May 9, 2024
- AliObz0 contributionsThumbs up for the Traditional Water Puppet Show. Thumbs down for the Dinner On CruiseI will break this review down into parts to make it easier: TOUR GUIDE - Asher was a really friendly guy. He made sure I was okay throughout the entire night. I felt completely safe with him. WATER PUPPET SHOW - this was awesome! Despite the fact that it is entirely in the Vietnamese language, the whole performance was entertaining and you can get the gist with the visuals. Plus there is a leaflet before you enter which has the order of show in the English translation. A huge shout out to the puppeteers and the narrators. DINNER - from here is the reason why this review is only average. First thing to note is that it is a buffet, which is fine. The issue is that the food was left out on dinner plates, not in chafing dishes which meant the food was cold after some time. Also, personally, I do not think keeping food out in the open is a good idea for reasons. Plus some dishes didn't have labels so I had to ask a few times what something was. Not great if you have dietary requirements/food allergies. CRUISE - there was onboard entertainment in the form of dancers and singers which was nice, but being out on the actual open deck was kind of...boring. You are really just looking at buildings. You do see the saigon skydeck, but because of how basic it looked at night, I didn't notice what it was at first. Plus, the boat was going super slow, apparently because of how big it is. Overall, I would give this a 3.5 out of 5 because the cruise ship portion of the tour was a bit of a letdown. Better to pay separately to see the puppet show on its own, in my opinion.Written November 15, 2022
- Stuarthill24010 contributionsAuthentic,Unique and Tailored Mekong Delta TourLast week, I and my husband took Cai Rang Floating Market 1 day tour with Zara. She is such a friendly , super- informative and helpful tour guide that helped us a lots. She explained about Mekong Delta and showed us the nice vibes along the ways we travelled. Before booking this tour, i considered much because i was afraid that we could not see much within 1 day but after the tour, we enjoyed it much. Save time, money and explore a lot. Highly recommend you to book this tour when you expect to expect explore Mekong Delta!!Written December 6, 2019
- Angus T0 contributionsWild Yellow Cheeked Gibbons in a recovering rain forestPick up from Ho Chi Minh Hotel down good roads to Cat Tien. Our Tour Guide was Jordan who used the outward bound journey to provide us with a lesson on the history and culture of Vietnam. This was backed up with some good visual aids. Accommodation was at the Forest Floor Lodge which was across the river in basic but exotic individual huts over the banks of the river. Food was practical and hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Good cheap cold bear available after jungle walks was much appreciated. Local guide Guur (phonetic) took us on two forest walks and provided invaluable insights. Good at spotting fauna and very knowledgeable of the flora. Translation was provided by Jordan, as required. Bird life on the river seemed to be limited. There wasn't much activity at crocodile lake, although the walk plus drive there was rewarding. The lake was choked by grasses so no paddling on the lake was possible.The time allotted to the lake plus walk was probably not long enough as there was so much to see in the forest on the way to the lake. Jordan was very attentive to our needs throughout, the mosquitoes were a minor issue and the leeches provided some humorous moments. The driver provided for the the trip to and from HCM was excellent, providing a high standard of driving where the general standard was low.Written October 16, 2019
- NorthStar220782639570 contributionsTHE BEST EXPERIENCING MOMENT EVER!!Thanks Lanh and An so much for your great experience!! Our family booked a tour for both Sightseeing and Food Exploration. But I felt a little worry about the weather as it has rained recently. But the guides, they are so helpful, they bring raincoats for us and changed their schedule to help us enjoy more without catching the rain. We had visited the Post Office, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Oldest Apartment, Flower market and Thien Hau temple in China town as well as tried many kinds of street food that I maybe not find in any restaurants. We had tried Bun Bo, Local seafood and desserts. We traveled by motorbike which I thought it was the most outstanding highlight of our tour with this amazing and exciting experience!! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND you to enjoy tour when you are in HCMC to get the most wonderful experiencing moment!!Written August 7, 2019
