Top Ho Chi Minh City Walking Tours - page 2

I was completely unsure if this was more of an unnecessary money grab or really important to have. 12 of us traveled together and across the group used 3 different services found online for Fast Track, all of varying prices. Turns out that all 3 experiences were almost identical and we all arrived at different times, finding varying line lengths for the “ regular “ immigration lines. Most of us agreed this was money well spent! Our greeters were communicating in advance of our arrival and were easy to find, quick to get us through immigration, and even helped us call our hotel shuttle to come get us. Very happy with the experience. One note- when we flew out of HCMC, there is also an immigration lines, plus a TSA line that were both quite long. Either allow yourself an extra hour for that or purchase the Fast Track for departure as well.

We were fortunate to have Loi as our tour guide....he was great. Loi had very good English, a great knowledge of all the places we went to and made it very interesting and enjoyable. Apart from seeing some of the iconic sights, we learned a great deal about the history, the tragedy and the horrors of the war. I would highly recommend this tour.

We booked this trip last night and travelled this afternoon leaving our hotel at 1pm. Going in the afternoon worked well and left time for a museum visit this morning before we left Ho Chi Minh City. My, our lovely young guide, met us at our hotel and with the assistance of her driver we travelled comfortably to the site. On the way My spoke with us about the history of the site and Vietnam in general. My guided us well around the site and her explanations and general conversation added greatly to our enjoyment and understanding of what we were looking at. The site was fairly quiet and we had the feeling that more visitors go in the morning. If you want to visit the tunnels and your time is limited this is a good way to go with comfortable transport and doing things at your own pace and potentially avoiding crowds. We were back at our hotel at around 6.30pm in time for a shower before heading out for a meal. Our guide, My, was great and ensured we had a good trip. This trip and our guide, My, gets five stars from us. Well done!
