Booking our trip was very easy and when they picked us up at our hotel, our guide (named Yo) was so nice and communicated with us very well. Sometimes it is hard to find a guide we can understand, but Yo's English was really good. At the end of our tour, we asked for a recommendation for lunch and he suggested a great restaurant that we loved. It was probably the best meal we had in Ho Chi Minh City. Very happy either with everything!

Beautiful experience all around. Our tour guide, Moon, was perfect. The temple was very unique and Moon gave us great insights. Finally, the village garden was a very beautiful area. My father in law, who is elderly and walks with a stick and the help and attention was very genuine

Our guide was wonderful - she met us on time and shared lots of info about the city and life in Vietnam. The boat was very nice and the captain was a skilled driver - navigation of the vegetation must be tricky but he was a pro! I got a little seasick on the way out and they were super kind. The Saigon river is big! This is an adventurous trip and a great opportunity to see another side of life outside of district 1!
