Loved our walking tour with Barney!

Published on Feb, 2025

Thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour. Our guide Barney was brilliant, funny and knowledgeable. A great way to discover the many gems of this beautiful city. Highly recommend.

An excellent afternoon

Published on Jan, 2025

This is a great way to see and understand key parts of the city, as well as learn some insight about life and living in HCM City. Our guide, Ben, was excellent.

Can’t recommend Ben highly enough.

Published on Jan, 2025

Ben was a brilliant guide and showed me all the sights I needed to see and also added lots of history about the country. I would definitely recommend you ask for Ben. His English is so good, he answered all my questions and took me for a tea experience to somewhere only a local would know about. Thank you Ben. I really enjoyed meeting and talking with you.

Interesting walking tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Had a very interesting afternoon walking around some of the city. Ben was interesting and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this tour.

Published on Jan, 2025

Casey was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and patient. I didn't realize Vietnam was such an interesting country with a very rich history and culture. I highly recommend this tour.
