This tour was perfect, Larry, Windy, and Tai showed us important sights in the city. However, what made this tour special though was that we could customize our experience to see and do what we were interested in. With our tour guides expertise and our desire for adventure this tour was everything we needed! Thank you so much Larry, Windy, and Tai!!!

Enjoyed the family feeling and local cultural experiences. Iconic spots, must see buildings with great informative company. Do yourself a favor and do this first. It will give you lots of ideas you can follow up on later. My guides Tai and Windy made me feel safe traversing the narrow streets and also spoke exceptional English

Long is the best tour guide I have had. He has amazing sense of humour and really knows how to entertain. A friendly tour that showed me the best of the best. He asked me what I liked and took me to to places locals would go for things like coffee. I had a fun day and I am glad Long was with me. I travel solo so it’s always a godsend when I get to hang around someone who ends up being a friend. When I come back to Saigon, I’ll definitely use this company and make sure I get to spend the day with Long. Thanks guys for the great day.
