Started our day perfectly with this morning city tour! Our guide was extremely nice and knowledgeable. Beat the afternoon heat and crowds. Highly recommend the morning timing for this service.
Value for money and wonderful way to see the key areas early in the day! The morning light was beautiful for photos. Would recommend to all – the morning tour gives you the whole afternoon free to explore on your own.
Tony was an excellent morning tour leader. Very enthusiastic and detailed commentary at each stop. Starting early meant we avoided the heat and crowds. Perfect way to begin our day in Saigon!
Lucy was our morning guide. She was great and very informative. The morning tour of HCMC is perfect – you see the highlights and still have the rest of the day to explore or rest.
We had a fantastic morning with Qui he was a great guide. We were never rushed despite the early start and had a very interesting morning. Got back to hotel before lunch which was perfect.
