Traveler reviews
👍🏻😁
We had a wonderful tour with Mr. Tinh. He guided us exceptionally well throughout the trip. Since we were traveling with my wife, our child, and an infant baby, we really appreciated how patient, understanding, and accommodating he was with our family’s needs. He made sure we were comfortable at every step and never rushed us, which made our experience even more enjoyable. His professionalism, friendly nature, and knowledge made the tour memorable. I would highly recommend Mr. Tinh to anyone visiting Vietnam. Thank you for making our trip so pleasant!
Saigon Stories
Our guide (Jack) today was outstanding as he led us through both the War Remnants Museum and the Independence (Reunification) Palace, offering far more than dates and names by weaving in rich comparisons to world history—drawing parallels to the American Revolution and George Washington—along with colorful connections to Hollywood blockbusters and TV shows that made everything come alive. Beyond his impressive knowledge, he was warm and genuinely inclusive, making a real effort to connect with every member of our group, whether they were from India or from different states across the U.S. He kept us on a tight schedule while still clearly explaining the day’s plan and offering thoughtful alternatives and options, and the result was an informative, friendly, and memorable day.
Vung Tau Tour
We did a tour of Vung Tau. Duy Lee was an incredible tour guide! He made SURE that we got every photo possible at every opportunity. And they came out amazing! Like a professional photographer. We visited some churches and a lighthouse with beautiful sightseeing and the beach as well! We had the opportunity to swim for a while too! Definitely recommend waking up early to see the sunrise over the mountains at the beach. 10/10 recommend! Incredible experience.
