Hani was an amazing guide. We saw some fantastic aspects of Ho Chi Minh City . This tour was well worth doing and gave us a great insight to life in the city.

This tour was an incredible experience! Everything went smoothly and we learned so much about Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh. Emmie, our guide, was wonderful along with our driver, Mr. Long. Absolutely recommend this tour.

Wow what a wonderful day in Ho Chi Min city. We were lucky to have the fantastic captain Bruno escort us around Saigon. He was knowledgeable friendly and charming. Nothing was too much trouble for Bruno and he ensured we had a memorable day. We said we liked Vietnamese coffee and he ensured we had one at our first stop then he took us for pho for lunch. We were so lucky to have Bruno for the day and cannot thank him enough for the wonderful and memorable day.

Hannah was awesome! The driver was calm and powered thru the traffic as tho there was none. Very comprehensive tour and delicious lunch. Highly recommended.

One of the most memorable parts of the tour was having to wait for about an hour for our driver to pick us up at the cruise port. Another memorable part was the drive to and from Ho Chi Minh. The driver was speeding most of the way, while texting. We were petrified that we were going to have an accident. The other memorable part was when we picked up our tour guide in Ho Chi Minh, unfortunable the tour guide spoke very poor English and it was difficult understanding him. Overall we saw and did less than was promised mostly because the driver was late in arriving, and in a hurry to drop us off.

We had an excellent day with Trihn and our driver. Trihn was helpful, courteous, knowledgeable and went out of his way to make the day special for us. I would highly recommend Nha Trang Tours and Trihn as your guide for an excursion in Ho Chi Minh City.

We had booked this tour for a number of reasons firstly it was our golden wedding anniversary, secondly we really like Ho Chi Minh City and finally we wanted a private tour as this was a day just for us. We were on a cruise and our driver and guide Vinh were waiting for us a the Phu My port gates exactly as promised. The car was very spacious and clean the driver (apologies I don't recall his name) excellent. Vinh was very informative on our way to Ho Chi Minh City but not intrusive and discussed with us what we wanted from the day. On arrival in Ho Chi Minh City we were taken to a number of different sites and also given time to ourselves but Vinh was never far away if needed. They would obviously would like to have taken us to more places but we were constrained by the time we had to be back on board the ship. However they did manage to take us to 52nd floor of the Bitexco Tower where the whole of Ho Chi Minh City was displayed at this point they gave my wife a large bunch of beautiful red roses what a great gesture. We were then taken back to Phu My where the driver made sure that we were safely on board the ship before he left. A great day and cannot recommend it too highly.

We chose this over the day trip offered by the cruise line and it was very good. Our guide was flexibly to meet our schedule. We would recommend him

Barney speaks very good and understandable English. He asked about our wishes and preferences and made good suggestions. He was happy to respond to requests and answered our questions gladly. We not only visited sights but also learned a lot about the country and the people. Picking up from the port gate worked very well and we were back very timely (although buses were delayed due to traffic). The car was good and the driver friendly and always there at the right time to get in.
