Our transport was almost brand new and the air conditioning worked beautifully. Our guide was knowledgable and also entertaining. The Cu Chi Tunnels are a "not to be missed" excursion while in Ho Chi Minh city and Deluxe Group tours made it the best possible experience.Written August 8, 2023
- Q4074XVjoanner0 contributionsWas a lovely experiencePick up and drop off from our hotel went smoothly. Nice big boat with heaps of people. We had the set menu whilst others on the boat had the buffet. I enjoyed most of the meals, desert was a shared bowl of some strange fruit, like a lychee. I believe we paid the same price as the buffet customers who got a lot more food and had greater selection than us. The entertainment was a bit limited as there were multiple levels of the boat so the singers had to get everywhere. Was very hot on board, they could have used some air conditioning, luckily we were near a balcony. The sights were great and the city was lit up. I asked for some ice to put in my wine and was given a piece about the size of small can of soft drink, it barely fit in the glass but cooled my drink and gave us a laugh.Written July 18, 2023
- RajM3400 contributionsAmazing experience, even more amazinf Typhoon Honey!The highlight of the trip was Typhoon Honey. He is an amazing guide and an amazing host. He made our trip so amazing that the only thing that we now remember is Him from our trip. A must visit for everyone and I would highly recommend everyone for thus day trip. God Bless!Written July 16, 2023
- 195496terry0 contributionsWorse dinner cruise on Saigon River in 7 yearsCalled this the deluxe cruise! This makes me laugh... In 2019January I was on the Saigon Princess for the Dinner cruise and that dinner cruise out shined the one I was just on. The one in January 2019 was raining so hard that we could not depart the dock and had the dinner while tied up to the dock and entertainment there. There was also dancing on the floor.. This dinner cruise was "the worse " I have be on in Saigon in my 7 years of coming here... The boat had no motor running, used a tug boat to guide it up and down the river... The entertainment stopped playing and disappeared when the boat left the shore... As for the dinner! I am allergic to shellfish and was reading the tags for the food and ended up with fried rice that had baby shrimp in the rice and was not listed on the tag to alert the customers that are allergic... Good thing I brought my allergy medication!!! you could have had a huge problem on your hands....Written April 23, 2023

I booked the tour to avoid having to brave the stressful traffic (i.e. crossing the roads), while I would have normally walked it around all by myself. The tour was well and efficiently organised to visit the main sites in HCMC. I was picked up on time from my hotel. The guide was friendly and spoke good english, while providing helpful information around the sites. I would have liked to spend a lot more time at the War Remnants museum, which deserves a good 2-3 hours on its own, although rather intense considering the materials displayed, it may be more adequate to have a couple of visits anyway, the entry fee is not expensive at all. Very pleased overall.

Booked the tour on our 2nd morning in HCMC and Timothy who was our guide was very enthusiastic and informative and it was a great introduction to this busy and amazing city. He clearly new his subject and was cheerful and engaging. We had the added advantage of being just my wife and myself on the tour so had a more personal and relaxed guided tour. It was a half day well spent and being in the morning it was not too hot.

My husband and I did this tour today with our brilliant guide “Japan”. We were met promptly in our hotel foyer by Japan who then walked us to our minivan. We picked up one other person and then set off on the tour.
The tour hits all the key spots in the city and Japan also mentioned a number of other landmarks as we drove past them. He provided expert commentary on all of the places we visited and left us a good amount of time at each one to explore.
I would highly recommend this tour!

Had an experienced guide in Ms Phung - has been a guide for 20+ years.
We visited the War Remembrance Museum and were given a short briefing before we start. The Reunification Palace visit was very informative. The Notre Dame cathedral is being renovated but the architecture design of the Central Post Office was well explained by the guide.
Ended at Ben Thanh Market at around 5pm.

Very informative tour, war museum was very interesting but sombre for the first day in Saigon. Showed all sides of a horrific war though. Probably stayed in the presidents Palace for a bit too long, personal preference though. Timothy the guide had good knowledge and enthusiasm and the trip was well worth. Good half day experience.

A full morning to great sights and Vietnamese culture. I booked the tour the evening before and was promptly picked up at my hotel the following morning. I was surprised to learn I was the only guest on the tour. My tour guide was Vin. He is very knowledge of all the stops and sights on the tour schedule. I can't give one site that I liked the most because they were all very interesting. I suppose the Independence Place was the most impressive site. If you book this tour you will have a very nice morning.

Are they limited to one hotel pick-up? Already had this issue with another booking and it was not clearly stated in their what to expect!!
Written July 20, 2019
From what your saying it seems it depends entirely on the guide you get. The one we had,Minh, was brilliant. Couldn't fault him. We have had guides on other tours ( one in Hoi An) who was doing his best but his English barely understandable.
Re hotel pick up...they usually mention the districts which they do this.
Hope this is helpful.

We have our young Son with us aged 5. I assume you can have a car instead of bikes. We will be staying in D7 I wondering how hard it will be to get to D3... any ideas?
Written September 18, 2018
Getting around using Grab is cheap and safe. I am taxi-phobic, so, We either used Grab or joined tours. Just a friendly warning, be sure to cover your son’s eyes when you go into the rooms when viewing some of the exhibits. Very graphic.
If you are pressed for time like us and wanting to see everything, a tour may be better (half day or whole day tour) and you still can go to Saigon skydeck at night time.
We did a half day tour starting just before 2pm and in the morning, we walked to other sites that our tour didn’t cover. We stayed in District 1, though.
If you use taxi instead of Grab, make sure you use Vinasun or Mai Linh (spelling?) only.
