This tour was amazing! We did it at night and rode around on the backs of scooters. The guides (Khoi, Liam, and the team) were also incredible. They taught us all about the food and were all fluent in English (we tried to learn some Vietnamese too, but it's tough!). Thank you so much to Khoi, Liam, and their team for making this the highlight of our trip.

A super experience made even better with super guides (Sammy, Sony, Linh). Not only was it fun, my family and I were able to learn a lot from these young but wise guides. Their knowledge and passion for their country gave us great insight beyond the travel books and videos.
I would recommend them and I will use them the next time we visit HCMC!
