This was truly the best tour I've ever been on. Minh and Mai were so friendly and knowledgeable, and we got to see (and taste!) so much of Saigon. We were a little worried about the motorbikes at first, but we felt completely safe - the perfect way to get around the city! I really couldn't recommend enough.
Cảm ơn!
