My wife and I joined this private tour with one other tourist. We had a wonderful time exploring the city with our three riders: two guides - Gia Khanh and Ky Nam, and one leader (Ngoc Chau). They showed us many places, such as the fresh flower market, the night food market, old buildings, local lifestyle and some amazing city views. They also told us stories about the culture and history of the city and answered all our questions.
However, there were some things that could have been better. We did not get to see the Thích Quảng Đức Monument (which I really wanted to see) and the Thu Thiem Underground Road (which was okay to miss). Chinatown was closed, which was part of the itinerary. It would have been nice to have a list of the places that we would visit on that day in advance, so that we could adjust our expectations.
The food market visit was also very rushed. We got 1 drink each and 1 snack, which was a sweet rice paper shared among six people. There was no explanation or recommendation from the leader about the famous dishes that we could try. I think it would have been better to include at least one famous dish, such as banana crackers, or to suggest some dishes that we could buy ourselves.
Despite these drawbacks, Gia and Nam were very enthusiastic, friendly, helpful, and safe drivers. They made up for everything with their great attitude and service.
Overall, I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the real and authentic side of Ho Chi Minh City. It was a very enjoyable and memorable experience.
