Bit of a disappointment for the money we paid. I don’t feel like we saw as much as we could of. We were left to explore the war remnants museum on our own, shown the palace from outside the gates. The post office which is free and the Notre Dame, which is under restoration for a few more years.

Fabulous tour with Justin who was extremely knowledgeable, professional, helpful and friendly. He explained the history of his country and the significance of the buildings we visited and also the aspirations for the future of his country. He also helped us to cross the roads safely! Wonderful thank you.

I had a one on one tour with Kevin the guide. Kevin was knowledgeable and also listened to my questions and comments and provided keen on the War Remnants Museum, the Norte Dame Cathedral, and the Post Office. I highly recommend this tour to anyone and you will be lucky if Kevin is your guide.

Kevin did a great job teaching us about Ho Cho Minh’s past, present and future, and I really learned a lot! It was the perfect start to my time in the city.

One of the ways I evaluate guided tours was how well I could have done it by myself. For this tour, I feel like I could have gotten most of the same experience if I did it myself and read the summary of each place we stopped from Wikipedia. We were to the War Remnants museum and were told we could go inside at our own place because all exhibits were in English. It is a big museum and it would have helped to have the guide show us the highlights. Other places we stopped were primarily facts recited about what we were seeing. We did have coffee at the end and had a good discussion of what it was like to live in Vietnam. This was the best part of the tour.

I would highly recommend this walking tour. Kevin the tour guide was a wealth of information and also made the tour super fun. From start to finish he was professional and polite. He spoke about sensitive topics regarding the Vietnamese war with such compassion and respect. He allowed time for us to explore the points by ourselves and answered any questions we had. He didn’t rush us if we wanted to spend more time at certain locations and even thought us some Vietnamese words. If you’re looking for a walking tour in Vietnam, look no further.

Wow, just wow! If you're looking for a walking tour of Saigon, stop looking, you've found it. Our group of 8 had an epic time with Kelvin and Pumpkin. These guys know their stuff and they're fun to hang out with too! They also took a bunch photos of us as we were walking with their own camera and then shared the photos with us. This was a very nice touch! We learned loads about the city, but it didn't feel like a history lesson - more like exploring with a couple of friends who happen to be local experts. Kelvin loves answering questions about Saigon, so come armed with your curiosities. Oh, and shout out to Kevin who checked in with me over Whatsapp after the tour. I didn’t feel great and had to leave the tour early while my group continued. Kevin followed up to check-in on me and see if there’s anything they can do to help. Great customer service right there! So yeah, 5-star recommendation from us. This tour company rocks and you'll definitely have a good time hanging out with the guides and exploring the city!

Dickies was a really friendly tour guide who showed us around the main sight seeing sights. He provided some really interesting information on the sights and the architectural history. He is also very knowledgeable on Vietnam’s history and even shared a story about his Grandpa. We felt very safe walking the streets and would recommend him to anyone for this tour!

Great concise tour, our guide Dickies was a col guy and very knowledgeable. Enough time to go through the war remnant museum, a good history of the independence palace, Saigon Notre dame and french post office, finished with a nice coffee on the publishers street. Good value, nice group!

Had a great tour with Alex who is an amazing tour guide. Very passionate, perfect English, respectful and extremely informative. Shared with us so many stories and perspectives of HCM and Vietnam that we will never hear of, if not on this tour. Answered all of our questions and honestly was more like a friend than a tour guide! Went above and beyond our expectations and very thankful for the experience. Highly recommended and please request for Alex!

Make sure to book your tour early morning or late afternoon. The sweltering heat on an April afternoon can dampen the whole experience. It was an informative tour where the tour guide will generously share stories that or may not be part of the official records. The War Remnants Museum is specifically poignant as it tells the uncomfortable side of the war. The French/Chinese influence is very much felt around the city, from the architecture, food, words, and persuasions. The post office is interesting but very tourist-y. Spend some time admiring the local handicrafts and send a postcard to your loved ones, anywhere in the world. End the trip with a short walk of the book street and see locally published books. Overall, it was okay. I appreciate the stories and the personal attention provided by the team even before the actual tour. They readily answer your questions and will keep in touch as the trip nears. Best if tour guides can suggest proper photo spots and the best ways to take photos in this often-photographed location.

Kevin was a wonderful guide and was very sensitive to my needs and feelings. He was especially compassionate reguarding the War Remnants Museum which I really appreciated. It was a great walking tour and felt more like spending time with a friend instead of being a part of a tour. I definitely recommend!

This was a nice way to spend a morning seeing the highlights of Ho Chi Minh City. The tour guide was very friendly and personable, and gave good insight into the culture of Vietnam and the sights we saw (post office, Notre Dame, Presidential Palace).

We had a nice orientation walk around the heart of Saigon with Kevin. He was easy to communicate with, took great photos of us, and pointed out the main sights in the core area.

Had a lovely day with Kevin (our guide) and a couple from Singapore. We met at the opera house where we were picked up by car taxi to the war museum. After the emotional museum tour, Kevin showed us some pictures iconic to the war, not shown at the museum. I was blown away by the Vietnamese people's ability to forgive... During my stay in Vietnam I also learned they are very caring and welcoming people. We talked along the tour about Vietnam and the Vietnamese people, getting more insights about the history and culture. We visited the Notre Dame cathedral (the outside of it as it's being renovated), the palace of independence, the lovely postal office and the peaceful library street where we continued our conversations over a delicious Vietnamese coffee. Kevin also recommended us some places where we can eat good food. For me it was a lovely experience, thanks Kevin :)

Kevin is engaging and really knowledgeable. His English is great. He showed us a snapshot of Saigon in a morning. He talked about the war in a way we could engage with. His information in Saigon life was also great. This was a lovely way to close out our tour of Vietnam.

It was a small group tour (only 4 people, including 3 from our family from India, and one lady from El Salvador), with a very amicable and knowledgeable guide Kevin. We started at the War Remnant museum, got to spend more than an hour. Within museum, it was self-guided, with Kevin adding his context at the end of the tour. The museum is very well curated, wasn’t crowded, and it was really a very absorbing experience. There was a special exhibition at ground floor also we could avail. As Kevin put it, the nation has chosen “to forgive, but not to forget”. Salute to the spirit! Next two stops - Reunification Palace and Notre-Dame Cathedral – didn’t take much time. Kevin told the Palace is a museum and very similar to the War Remnant museum. And the Cathedral seems to be under renovation for years now. It was a nice, leisurely walk through the core districts and the 23rd September park on a bright day in February, listening to the fascinating stories of Vietnam’s yesterday and today. Our next stop was at the world famous SaiGon post office. We got to spend about half an hour there, appreciating the architecture, watching the staff going about their work, also picking up a few beautiful souvenirs. Finally, Kevin got us to the book street, and treated us with complimentary coffee at the “Bookstore” café. After the group dispersed, we spent an hour at the book street, lapping up the nice ambience, and picking up a few books on Vietnam as well (there aren’t many English language books though). Overall, it was a well-organized and very balanced tour, not too hectic – doesn’t make you tired with too many stops or overwhelm with too many things to see. It was our last day in Vietnam, and the tour suited us well. Definitely recommend it!
