We were short on time and so a half day tour suited our needs. Hao was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and attentive. He takes good pictures too! We took in all the major sites with door to door transfer in a clean and comfortable car. Driver was very good and safe. Highly recommend if you're short on time but still want to see and learn Ho Chi Minh history.

This is a really good tour for getting an overview of the city. The visit to the Presidential estate was very informative and they've done a great job of keeping it as it was in the late 60's early 70's. We had plenty of time to explore the War Remnants museum. Our guide Bau was also very informative and provided his insight as to the situation leading up to and after the Vietnam war. The other short stops at the Post office and Temple in Chinatown were also interesting. I could have by passed the trip to the lacquer factory interesting but I’m sure there are more interesting sights in Saigon.
