Ben Thanh Market: Tours & Tickets

Our guide (Sugar) was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The driver was calm, which made us calm, especially in such a madcap scooter-tasting city where crossing the road successfully makes you feel like a stuntman! All the places we went to were first rate and to learn the history before each location helped with our own understanding. The Jeep was a real treat with a character all of its own and my wife and I loved it. Definately do this activity if your time in Ho Chi Minh allows.

Tour was good. They conduct us to many different places. Gifts are super expensive at those places. You can buy them at the city with 1/100 the price at tour places. When we meet with local activities, the guide force us to pay a tip for local people. Then, guide pay local people by deducting the tip which we gave to local people. That's how guide himself make a side profit. So, better not to give tips to local people.

We booked at very short notice but easily found the meeting place not far from our hotel. There were 11 people on the tour from various parts of the world- all great to talk to as we visited 8 different places with our expert and very helpful guide. We felt safe at all times thanks to careful briefing by our guide. All the food was delicious. Dont miss this one - there others that cost more.

What a wonderful way to start my first visit to Vietnam !! My guide took me through the different markets that aren't normally seen by tourists, and answered so many of my questions. I got to eat some local food and was able to stop for some shopping along the way. I will be back again for another trip.

Good tour to do..piece of history. We didn't realise the drive between the tunnels and the river was a long drive .. but overall a good day tour Felt s bit unorganized to begin with until on the bus.. All the tour guides standing outside smoking and lying about is not a good look.
