Many thanks to Vivian, Shay, Tom and Thu - they were all very friendly and engaging and gave us a very authentic view of life in HCMC. We went to many places we wouldn’t have otherwise visited, including seeing how some people live in the city. We had some of the best Vietnamese coffee we have had all holiday, and tried jackfruit and green mango. They engaged with our two teenagers very well. Great fun and good drivers. They even added a visit to Notre Dame Cathedral when they heard we hadn’t seen it and we had finished reasonably early. Thanks guys - it was much appreciated. All in all - good value for money and well worth it.
Best tour I have done so far!!! excellent service. We really enjoyed our tour morning on the back of motorbikes with three students in Saigon. They interacted with our children of 7 and 9 years old in a very personal and natural way. they showed us around the back alleys of Saigon and showed us traditional ways of drinking coffee and singing bird lover place, neighborhood, housing and off the beaten track pagoda's. They were free with their personal stories and local traditions. Thanks for the great experience Max, Tony and Dee! First we were a bit afraid about driving in Saigon but the three really took our worries away in the first 10 seconds. Our kids loved it!! we had some new friends who can recommend us the good restaurants and places to go in Saigon, they told us some Vietnamese sentence too. Loved it!!! James and Fiona.
