Exellent

We had a great trip, worth every cent. Joey (our guide) was really wonderfull. Speaks english very well, explains a lot, also provides a lot of background information so you feel more at home. The chauffeur and Joey were a great team, no waiting time. I recommend this as a must do in Saigon.

Great introduction to Saigon tour

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Fantastic tour with an outstanding guide!** My son and I did the 4-hour small-group Saigon City Tour today, and it was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. Our guide, Joey, was exceptional. She had a great sense of humour, was warm and courteous, and had an impressive knowledge of Vietnamese history and culture. She happily answered every question I threw at her. On the one occasion she wasn't completely sure of an answer, she was quite open about it, promised to research it, and actually came back to us later with the information. I really appreciated that. What stood out most was Joey's genuine enthusiasm. I've been on tours before where you get the feeling the guide is simply going through the motions, but this was completely different. Joey genuinely seemed to enjoy what she was doing, and that enthusiasm came through in the way she explained Vietnam's history, culture and everyday life. It made the whole experience much more engaging. She was also very attentive to everyone in our small group, particularly an older member who had some physical limitations. Joey was always conscious of the pace and made sure everyone was comfortable without making a fuss about it. For my son and me, four hours was also just about the perfect length. With Saigon's heat, humidity and occasional rain at this time of year, we were able to see and learn a great deal without the tour becoming exhausting. A really enjoyable, informative and well-paced introduction to Saigon, made particularly memorable by an excellent guide. Joey is a wonderful ambassador for Vietnam, and I would happily recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city.

Great half day tour of some of the city sites!

This afternoon city tour was a perfect way to see a number of different sites and learn about their history and cultural importance. Great communication prior to the tour regarding pick up time and place. Joey, our tour guide, was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable and a good communicator, as well and personally fun and kind. Would highly recommend this half day tour.
