Great tour

Published on Mar, 2024

Lee was a terrific tour guide. Great knowledge, kept everyone a part of the tour and did a great job keeping everyone safe.

Fun ride!

Published on Mar, 2024

Doan was a great guide. He kept the tour informative and entertaining. Since this was my first cycle tour, I was nervous about keeping up and hearing everything. Hong did a great job keeping us together and stopping at noted points. He also recommended a great lunch at the end.

An Exciting Trip

Published on Mar, 2024

Overall, the trip was fantastic. Our guide, Tray, was exceptional the entire time, and we truly valued his expertise. While a few activities felt like filler and didn't engage us, the enjoyment we got from the others more than compensated. The hotels exceeded our expectations and were conveniently situated. However, the lunch on the first day was underwhelming. With a significant amount of time spent on the coach, it's a good idea to bring along some entertainment to help pass the time.

An absolutely amazing experience!

Published on Mar, 2024

We had an absolutely fabulous day with Steven! Our adventure began with a marvelous rickshaw ride through the old quarter, followed by a breathtaking ascent to the 49th floor of Saigon Skywalk, where we were treated to an incredible 360-degree view of this bustling city of 9 million people. The program also included a truly authentic pho lunch and delightful snacks, including freshly hacked coconuts with straws to sip the deliciously cool water inside. Throughout the day, Steven demonstrated remarkable patience, kindness, and enthusiasm, ensuring our happiness was his top priority.

One of the best trips I have ever experienced

Published on Mar, 2024

Hung Nguyen proved to be an excellent guide, blending expertise with a delightful sense of humor. His wealth of knowledge regarding Vietnam and Saigon's history enriched our journey as he guided us through numerous historical sites. Our experience was further enhanced by a fantastic lunch arranged by him. From the moment they picked us up at the cruise port, we spent a total of 9 hours together, during which time we enjoyed the comfort of a top-notch van. Hung's professionalism and the quality of our tour truly exceeded expectations.
