4.00We signed up for the personal private tour. Our guide originally planned to follow a fixed itinerary but was eventually open to persoluze the tour to include places like Chinatown which were not specifically mentioned in the itinerary. Would recommend for people who like the older places mostly in District 1

4.00The trip was very good and our tour guide Nam was very personable and informative. It included a good selection of sights and gave a really good taste of HCMC. My only issue was that I was picked up an hour later than originally told. I know the traffic in HCMC is crazy but this should have been taken into account.
