- minhnguyen1160 contributionsSimply superbJust finished an one hour tour to China town with Xich Lo Tours. Dzung was with us and he was great! It was a nice mix of markets and street life and we were the only tourists in the area.Written March 10, 2020
- jismitg0 contributionsMekong Delta TourMe and my Partner meet Phuong last year in March and did the Cu Chu Tunnel in Ho Chi Minh with her and we have stayed in contact ever since. The first tour we did with Phuong was one of the best days we had on our first holiday and the information and knowledge they have of everything is amazing! She is so friendly and the best the tour guide we have had to date. I have keep in contact with Phuong and now we are back in Vietnam again and wanted to do another tour. She put us in Contact with her friend Quinnie to take us on the Mekong Delta day tour and it was another tour that was unforgettable! Quinine was also amazing and we had such an amazing day with her. Her knowledge was also incredible and we had so many laughs! We would recommend this tour group to anyone who visits Vietnam and with out a doubt you should book with them it will not disappoint! We have made fiends for life with Phuong! Will always come back here to stay contact with them! Everything is included in the tour and even more! Both tours were the highlight of our trips! The air conditioned vehicle is also great!Written March 3, 2020
- linhl9910 contributionsCyclo tourThey did an amazing job! Great tour, very accomodating drivers willing to go an extra mile for their clients!Written February 29, 2020
- eva t0 contributionsThree hours Saigon cyclo tourAbsolutely amazing! The drivers were really nice, careful and great professionals which is very important in a busy city like this. Our guide Tran was very nice and knowledgeable on different topics about the city. She brought pictures so we can see what was happening on some 9f the locayions before/during the war. They showed us very interesting and not that accessible locations in Saigon. We also received a mask and a traditional hat. I really recommend this tour company for a complete and memorable experience.Written December 16, 2019
- thuyphuong_le0 contributionsTwo hour stunning cyclo tourLast week we had a chance to try out the new two hour itinerary. We absolutely love it! The secret weapon bunker of Saigon ranger is one of its kind. We had great photos on the way. Phuong is really flexible to suit our needs and our drivers are very friendly.Written October 25, 2019
- cupcakeluu0 contributionsAccommodating Tour Guide!My colleague and I booked a one-day private tour of the Mekong with Xich Lo Tours for a photography assignment we were working on. From the beginning, their offices were very responsive to our questions, giving feedback and suggestions about how to schedule our day to fit the needs of our work, reconfirmed details a day or two before our trip and were clear with pricing and costs. Everything from the driver, the clean and comforatable transportation, an entire boat booked for us, the family eatery that catered to our diet restrictions, the very sweet and knowledgeable tour guide (Ms. Phuong), helping us get the photos we needed, etc were seamless and professional. I cannot recommend Xich Lo tours enough, they went above and beyond to help us on this job!Written October 13, 2019
- Hoover1510 contributionsExcellent tour guidePhuong was a excellent tour guide we did a day excursion to the cu chi tunnels were we were completely on our own for the whole trip we beat all the crowds, it was only on our way out we seen how many people were arriving at the same time. The next day we did the Mekong delta trip which was also brilliant. Phuong is a wonderful guide she is very informative and knowledgable, we would definitely use her services again and recommend her friends and family visiting Vietnam.Written October 9, 2019
- justjessnjazz0 contributionsBest Way to Tour ChinatownExcellent and professional customer service. I booked only 3 hours in advance over WhatsApp and they were able to accommodate perfectly. Our drivers Mr. Yet and Mr. Tu Thom were fantastic. They made sure our ride was comfortable and smooth. No hassle and no problems whatsoever with very reasonable pricing. We were traveling with a young toddler aged two and he loved the cyclo ride!! Definitely recommend.Written August 31, 2019
- dennis D0 contributionsFantastic Way to Experience SaigonAs part of our fabulous private day tour of amazing Saigon, my wife and I and our outstanding tour guide Phuong, enjoyed a highly memorable city cyclo tour with Xich Lo Tours. It was fantastic to sit back and take in the sights as our highly experienced, friendly and conscientious drivers took us for an incredible journey weaving through traffic along the main and back streets of Saigon. I must admit I had some concern about just how safe this was going to be, given the craziness of traffic in the city, but these concerns were soon put to rest due to the skills of the drivers, slow pace we travelled and the respect the drivers of other vehicles gave our cyclo drivers. An advantage of taking a cyclo ride is that it improves one's sense of the city. The route our drivers took most certainly provided a memorable snapshot of everyday life in this fascinating city. I unreservedly recommend Xich Lo Tours of Ho Chi Minh City, as a highly professional cyclo tour operator and know that when we are next in Saigon we will be booking another tour with them.Written May 15, 2019
- Expattraveler1000 contributionsThe Best EverThese guys are excellent. We booked it via email on line just a few days earlier. We booked a two hour cylo ride around the city from 11am to 1pm and then the foodie tour at 6pm to 10pm. Phuong was delightful - her English is perfect and her knowledge of Vietnam and the local area is unlimited. Her bubbly personality and friendly demeanor make her a delight to be around. The Cyclo ride was so much fun, and we marveled at the way they took us away from the tourist traps and around the real HCM city. The foodie tour was a blast and Queenie and Phuong expertly drove us around on their mopeds around the crazy and frenetic traffic - there seems to be a method to the madness on roundabouts but we've not figured it out yet! We stopped at several different neighborhood locals favorites and really enjoyed every minute. It was a joy to spend our day with them. This Travel guide group may not be the biggest and as they've not bee in business forever they may not yet have the most write ups on Trip Advisor, but take it from two Brits who live in the USA - they are the best!Written March 3, 2019
- karenpeel0 contributionsBrilliant, so much fun, best thing we did all holidayOur whole family of 5 did this together and it was so much fun. We went in a convoy all around HCM, swerving in and out of traffic and seeing some of the great sites like the flower market, temples and the palace then visited a good shop for souvenirs at the end. The 5 chaps that took us around didn't speak much English but were all great fun. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone, great for all ages too.Written January 15, 2019
- GarethSW0 contributionsFantastic.We opted for the morning city tour. This included many stops at paces of interest and this tour takes you of the beaten track. Excellent organisation, we where a group of 5 and had out own guide that kept us all informed during the tour. The drivers where excellent and really kept our safety at the forefront. Its fun and at times hold your breath as you cross cross the round about and busy roads, but this makes for a brilliant morning out in Saigon. Highly recommended for you do try this with this excellent company.Written December 23, 2018
- BuckandDi0 contributionsCu Chi Tunnel TourJust returned from our Cu Chi Tunnel Tour and had the the most Amazing experience. Our Tour Guide Phoung was so knowledgeable and provided us with so much information to, from and during the tour. Not only is she knowledgeable but she is extremely passionate about her culture and so easy to talk to. I highly recommend this tour company to anyone wanting to get the most out of this experience !Written November 12, 2018

Excellent feed of Pho. An eye opening experience of the back streets of Vietnam. Recommended.Written October 7, 2018
- Michael L0 contributionsAmazing time in Saigon + Mekong DeltaWe heard about Xich Lo Tours through a friend, so went all in with them during our stay in Saigon, and we were NOT disappointed! We did the Food Tour, the Cu Chi Tunnel Tour, and the Mekong Delta Tour with Phuong (Phu). She was wonderful throughout. Her English is very good, and her personality is even better. She's very considerate, polite, always on time, and funny too. She's a wealth of knowledge as well. Every time I had a question about a particular topic re: Vietnam, she knew the answer! Food Tour involved 4 different food stops. Delicious stuff, and I was stuffed by the end of the night. Definitely took us places that we never would have found on our own. Cu Chi Tunnel tour was educational and quite an interesting experience to walk through a little bit of the tunnel. The Mekong Delta Tour was the highlight. We actually did an extended 2 night version of the tour. You should look into that if you have the time. Phu took us to various off-the-beaten-path places that added to the rich experience. It was a magnificent adventure - unique markets on the river, beautiful rice field landscapes, motorbike ride through farm land, and more!Written July 10, 2018

What seemed to be a very inexpensive ride turned into a reasonable but far more expensive ride as the cost is based on time and you are offered more and more places to visit each consuming time. You can expect a 1 hour tour to turn into 4 hours very quickly. The ride it’s self isn’t the most comfortable and sometimes even scary as you venture into traffic that seem to obey no road rules, however apart from suffering a little from the heat the ride itself proved to be safe enough and you certainly see more than you would any other form of transport

Hi Roy, I am happy to hear you enjoy the cyclo ride. However we only offer a one-hour cyclo tour which is already pre-paid. We do not charge any further on the tour or offer any 4 hour tour via this platform. Could you help check the company you went with again? Thank you

We are a family of 4 and we booked the 3 hour tour with Phuong in quite a short notice. It was Lunar new year very soon but Phuong was quick to accomodate our request. I work in Saigon but have never been to most places we visit on the tour! We all loved it a lot!

So we were 5 adults and 2 children and we did the 2hr cyclo tour of Saigon. It was great! But I think it’s only great if you get Phuong as tour guide since the cyclo driver’s don’t speak much English so they are unable to give commentary. Phuong on the other hand spoke great English and had so much interesting info and history to impart. We absolutely loved the tour!

A good fun way for a family to experience the city and the crazy Saigon roads without having to put kids on motorbikes!
It's worth taking water and asking for the umbrella to be put up if needed as you're in the hot sun for long spells.
The drivers were friendly and very Vietnamese in a good way.

A good experience, with very friendly guides. Great to see parts of the city that we wouldn’t normally see or be able to walk to. Felt very safe. Would be good if we could have some of the sights pointed out. Always happy to tip guides, but don’t appreciate being asked by them for a tip.

We loved every minute of our wonderful tour around Saigon on our cyclo's.
Our guide, Phuong was great fun! Full of knowledge, great English and lots of laughs. Tour felt very personalised, with Phuong providing lots of info on the way and literally no other tourists in sight!
Great for kids (ours are 7 years and 12 years old) and great way to explore the city and see the sights. Our drivers/riders were very safe, and never felt scared being in the centre of some crazy busy traffic!
We booked with extremely short notice - 3 hours before the tour! Very responsive.
Highly recommend!! Great value for money!

We had tour guide Phuong for a couple of days - very interesting history of the Cu Chi tunnels followed by lunch in Saigon and then a tour of the Mekong Delta.
She gave us so much information on Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam- its history, culture, traditions- along with tips and recommendations. Throughout the rest of our trip we kept saying “well Phuong told us...”
Loved it! Thanks!

I booked with Phuong a private tour for 3 on Saturday morning to the tunnel. The tunnel was a challenge to go through but its rich history is one of a kind. Phuong is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about Vietnam war. We were impressed how professional this company was. It was totally worth for a try. Recommended.
