Thong was a wonderful guide with good English. He shared lots of interesting local history that was new to us. I felt very safe riding with him and felt that he was always looking out for our safety and happiness.
The food was delicious and my gluten sensitivity was catered for with understanding. We learnt how to eat the several things that were new to us.
I highly recommend this tour.

Our guides Ted and Harley were really knowledgable about the food, Vietnam history and where to go in Ho Chi Minh.
They were great fun to be with.
Highly recommend this tour. Such a great culinary and social experience.
