The guide was very...

Tom_O, May 2026

The guide was very informative on the history of HCMC and Vietnam. The walking past was at a good pase with a nice brake in between.

Very fascinating tour

Lisa_R, Mar 2026

Daniel was right on time and led us on a very interesting tour of HoChi Minh City. He had so many interesting stories and historical treasures to share with us. We came way with a new understanding of Vietnam.

If you want to see the hidden bunker.

Marco_G, Mar 2026

Not much information given besides pointing at buildings. The only good part of the tour is the visit to the hidden bunker.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for joining the tour and for sharing your feedback, Marco. During the tour I provide detailed explanations about Saigon’s history, architecture, and the Vietnam War. However, it seemed that there was a language barrier during the walk, which may have made it difficult to understand some of the information shared. I’m glad you enjoyed visiting the hidden bunker, which is one of the most unique historical locations in the city. Thank you again for visiting and I wish you a great rest of your trip in Vietnam.

Fantastic walking tour- tailored to our needs.

A fantastic experience, from start to finish. Joseph is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and engaging! He went the extra mile by organising transfers for us from our cruise port and lending us some money for an amazing iced coconut coffee as we didn’t have any Dong initially. 10/10. Wholeheartedly recommend this walking tour.
