Our guide Lam was very motivated and guided us through places where we would have not gone otherwise. It was really helpful to have some additional explanations and not only walk through Chinatown and some other roads. I enjoyed that he is not a professional guide and works during the week as a professional in a industry company. He uses the tours to get additional inspirations from foreign countries and to further improve his english. He was very knowledgable on local fruits and in case he didn‘t know the english translations quick in googling them and showing the results. Although the tour is officially only planned for 3h Lam took some extra time to folllow our wishes and take time for photos ending up with more than 4h in total. We really enjoyed the time with Lam.
Thank you for this wonderful day in Saigon. Well organized, our guide Hung went from sight to sight. The driver was always ready to drive to the next station. Hung speaks perfect German and we felt very well informed and entertained. It was an unforgettable day in this city. Recommended to anyone who doesn't have too much time in Saigon. Seen all the major sights and had a lot of fun included. A big thank you to our guide.
Before the tour the local guide (in our case a student) contacts you to see if you have any specific interests so it can more tailored to your needs. We did a lot of walking and occasionally took a local bus, so good walking shoes are a must. The guide was pleasant and it was nice to hear some personal aspects of living in a city like HCMC. All in all a nice experience.
Punctual collection, a reminder by e-mail the day before, friendly, competent and helpful drivers, with whom you felt safe at all times
