Traveler reviews
Quick Visit to Ho Chi Minh
Excellent way to visit Ho Chi Minh City in a unique way by driving around in a jeep. Despite the age of the vehicle it is very well maintained and quite comfortable. With our guide, Mia, and driver Bi, we were able to visit some of the more unique markets and venues of the city. Mia was very professional and informative about each location we arrived at, and patiently answered all of our questions. Our driver, Bi, expertly moved us through the streets and traffic. We were kept shaded and cool, offered ice cool water and beer, and had a very unique and tasty lunch as part of our tour. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to visit the city but only has a short time available.
Outstanding tour our guide Mia was amazing, we got to see behind the scenes of the real Saigon, great guide
