Reviews

"The tour is great for learning about the city's best-known sights. We started at a cafe, then went to a park, a famous bird cafe, a flower market, Chinatown, temples, and other places. We tried and tasted a lot of new and delicious things. Our guide knew a lot, was helpful, and was friendly. What a great time! This is the best way to see and learn about Saigon."
