Friendly guide who did a good job overseeing the tour. About the right length of time at each site . Picked up from hotel on time

Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thanks for your choosing and trusting us. Hope you have best experience in Viet Nam
ROY_P, May 2023
Very poor tour. No value for money. Had to wait almost one hour to start. The closure of Notre dam Cathedral on Monday was not disclosed while booking.

This tour was a great way to see some main sites in Saigon, particularly for those short on time.
Jason, our guide was most personable and had a wealth of cultural and historical knowledge at his fingertips. The van was clean and comfortable and the driver was a safe driver.

We were only six people in the tour. The van was nice and comfortable. Perfect number of places we visited. Our guide Thong was good in explaining the history.

Apart from the Jade Pagoda the rest of the attractions were within ten minutes walking distance from our hotel in district 1, Wish I had found out this before booking. Two unscheduled stops one at a Coffee Shop and other a Lacquer Workshop, both a waste of time. Guide was informative, however stated Saigon was dangerous after dark and the potential to get mugged was high due to the increase in drug use there.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The guide, Kelvin was very friendly and made the tour in and interesting. We had plenty of time to visit all the attractions, and Kelvin explained the country's history very well

These kind of trips always come down to the type of host you have to make the experience. From pick up Kite our guide was amazing. Her charm really did make the trip and I would highly recommend going to see the tunnels. It was a comfortable trip except for when you go into the tunnel but this is only an option I did not feel pressured at any point to buy anything or do anything I did not want to. The meal at the end was of great quality and on the whole i'm delighted to have chosen this trip. Thank you again Kite!
Your Mr Muscle haha

Very good trip, well organised, gave us a good insight into the key sights. Informative and engaging guide. No hassle.
Lizabeth_K, Apr 2017
Overall I was quite pleased with the value of this tour. We saw multiple sites within Ho Chi Minh City in 4 hours while riding in a spacious van with good A/C. Our tour guide Chi was very helpful, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Perfect tour for first time visitors who are in town for a brief stay.

We were driven around to the various sites but our guide kept talking to the two folks in the front seat. We were in the 2nd seat and caught some of the dialogue but I am sure the folks in the 3rd seat didn't hear much.
We toured a couple of the sites again the next day and got a much more informative explanation.

Really loved the knowledge and passion from our guide Mr Tommy from A Travel Mate. While some times it felt a little rushed it was still a very good and informative tour.
Laura K, Dec 2016
Excellent tour - Tommy was a great guide and really enjoyed the extra stop at the handicrafts shop.
Trevor_W, Sep 2016
Stops at all the major places and the guide is good with English and gives story on each spot. Well done. The War Museum is not for the faint-hearted. Graphic photos of the carnage of war and very one-sided references. To be expected I suppose but still very awkward.
Brian M, Aug 2016
Excellent tour - my guide Hung was very knowledgeable about the city and the sites we visited. He was on time at my hotel for pickup and the tour was not rushed. Thoroughly enjoyed learning about Saigon.
Anita B, Jun 2016
Very interesting experience. I learned a lot of new information from the very competent tour guide, David Phung.
Geraldine_C, May 2016
We has a great tour, the guide was great and the destinations were very interesting. We loved the War museum very interesting and the Indipendant palace was great. Thanks
MELVA Y, Feb 2016
Great tour guide - allowing sufficient time at each site and covering most important
sites in the city.

A must see if you are visiting Ho Chi Minh City. Gives you an insight into the prolonged war of attrition and its consequences.
Nancy O, Oct 2015
We had a great time. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam. It was worth our time.
Elizabeth B, Aug 2015
As a quick introduction to HCMC the tour was everything we wanted. Visited the main attractions, the tour guide was excellent, his English was fine, we were able to understand him clearly. Picked us up on time, the mini bus was spotless. A great half day tour.
Natalie M, Jun 2015
The tour was very well organized and informative. As an American, I felt very embarrassed in our involvement in the war. So sad to see the artifacts from the American War.
