    Amazing and Memorable time with tour guide Tom
    We had an incredible experience in Ho Chi Minh City, thanks to our amazing guide, Tom, and the fantastic driver. Tom went above and beyond to ensure our journey was enjoyable and stress-free. He was kind, friendly, and very knowledgeable, sharing fascinating information about the city's history and culture. The driver was equally amazing, ensuring a smooth and safe ride throughout the trip. One of the highlights was the amazing boat ride, where we enjoyed beautiful local songs, delicious food, and even got to see some animals up close. Tom made sure we felt comfortable and taken care of every step of the way. The entire trip was well-planned, and they showed us so many wonderful places in and around the city. We can’t thank them enough for making our visit truly unforgettable. Highly recommend their service. Aniket Naik. Lekha Todankar.

    A fruitful Ho Chi Minh Trip
    We had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Tom. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Vietnam, its history, and its local cultures. His sense of humor and friendly demeanor made the tour both enjoyable and engaging. We learned so much from him and appreciated the wealth of information he shared with us. He also recommended fantastic local eateries that we would have never discovered on our own. A truly helpful, professional guide who went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. Highly recommended!”

    Cu Chi Tunnels Tour
    The tour was amazing! Vincent was highly knowledgeable and helpful in addressing any questions that we have. The journey into the tunnels really gave us a glimpse of how life has been for the Vietnamese soldiers during the wartime. Highly informative and interesting!

If you had to do just one tour in Ho Chi Minh, I’d highly recommend this one. My friends and I were lucky enough to have Tom (Cruise) as our guide and he was phenomenal. He is engaging, good humoured, passionate, informative and eager to share his insights about Vietnamese culture and destinations with the whole group. I am going home with great pictures, a full belly and memories for a lifetime. Thank you Tom!

Our tour guide in the Mekong Delta was simply outstanding. Full of infectious enthusiasm and a fantastic sense of humor, he brought the region's history and culture alive with his engaging storytelling. His knowledge of the area was impressive, and he seemed to have an endless supply of entertaining anecdotes and fun facts that kept us amused throughout our journey. His cheerful disposition made every interaction enjoyable, and he effortlessly fostered a friendly, jovial atmosphere among our group. Whether we were navigating the Delta's waterways or tasting local cuisine, his fun-loving spirit was a highlight of the experience. I would recommend him to anyone visiting the Mekong Delta.

A very leisurely and value-for-money trip, and overall a great experience. You won't feel rushed, and the itinerary and meals are well arranged. The tour guide Mr. Peace's style of leading the group is endearing, friendly and natural, and his instructions are clear. When it is time for the group members to rest, they will not chatter non-stop, and they can have a complete rest in the car. The trip is reasonably priced and highly recommended!

Jack was very prompt picking us up from our hotel lobby. He was kind and funny throughout the day and gave us interesting information about each area visited. He ensured we were comfortable at all times.

The temple was beautiful, the boats were serene and the food and drinks we were offered were delicious.

The tour was much cheaper than others we had seen online yet we experienced all the area had to offer in full.

10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Heidi was our tour guide and she was very detailed with explaining the lives of the people who lived in that area. She also showed us many different native fruits grown by the farmers. Her work was very meticulous and she took great care of the tour group and was very knowledgeable. She also spoke good english that can be understood easily.

Kim is a great guide and offered a great deal of knowledge about the life of Vietnamese people, Mekong Delta region, the food and everyday lives of a comman Vietnamese. The Mekong Delta tour included Boat ride, Sampan Boat ride, Row Boat, different animals, Vinh Trang Pagoda, fruits, Honey tea, Wine tasting and a local singing troupe. I would recommend this tour to those who wish to discover the tropical retreat in South Vietnam.

Our guide Thuyen was fantastic. Highly educational and fun tour. Local fruit and drink tastings. Beautifully cooked Vietnamese food for lunch was delicious at the local open air restaurant. The river cruises were so relaxing. Approximately 1.5 hour drive each way from our hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. Highly recommend this tour…especially with Thuyen as the tour guide.

There are lots of wonderful things about this trip. For example, our guide Mr. Jack was fantastically fun, engaging and accommodating. This has been a pattern on many tours in vietnam - the guides and team are the nicest anywhere in the world.

The itinerary is... good-ish. The sampan ride and boating around the islands are great fun and incredibly picturesque. The downside is that most of the itinerary involves going between what are, effectively, tourist shops. Seeing the beehives, chocolatier, local music and coconut shops are fine. You are not pressured into buying anything and the people are nice but this is a tourist trip make no mistake. Without our excellent guide Mr Jack we would have found the experience not nearly as good. You do learn something of how they operate and function but it does feel like we missed some of the provably beauty of the delta that would've been away from these things.

Mr Jack did take us on a lovely bicycle ride though which might arguably have been the highlight!
