Amazing Ho Chi Minh Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

The tour was amazing! Loan, our tour guide, was great. She communicated and organized our trip well, took us to a good local restaurant for lunch, and showed us the best spots. Very knowledgeable and was super sweet. Highly recommended this tour if you’re in Ho Chi Minh to hit all of the great spots just outside of the city!

Amazing tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Excellent tour. Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. She answered any questions we had and had a great and friendly demeanor. Black virgin mountain was excellent with beautiful views. The happy Buddha water show was fantastic and the size and scale of the entire facility on the mountain top was impressive. Cu chi tunnels were very interesting as was the temple visit. Lunch stop was very good and the food was excellent.

Black mountain, cao dai temple and cu chi tunnels Mr Ong tourguide.

Published on Dec, 2024

It was an excellent experience with seamless planning and execution. The travel, food and the visit to different tourist attraction was smooth and comfortable. The tour guide was patient enough giving us widespread historical information about the places visited, We sensed the glimpse of Vietnamese lifestyle both in the past and the present craving us to explore more and more about the localities visited. In the wholesome, the tour was really great, the experience of which will keep lingering in my heart forever!!!!

A big day but worth it, combining history, religion and both natural and man made wonders

Published on Dec, 2024

The tour was fabulous although a VERY big day with Jimmy and our driver meeting us at our hotel at 7am. The Cu Chi tunnels worth seeing noting their role in Vietnam’s history however I would not go in them and found the experience quite sobering, opting not to attend the firing range to shoot weapons (I understand that this is often a favourite) We went onto visit a temple that brings together the faiths of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Our timing meant we didn’t spend a lot of time there as devotions were occurring. Lunch was at a local restaurant which happily catered to two vegetarians. From there we travelled to Black Mountain which was a wonderful experience. Travelling up to the top and back via gondola was breathtaking and in very modern transport as the whole resort is owned by a private company. The enormity of the Buddha was breathtaking and you can travel inside it via escalator so you don’t have to do the stairs - and there are a lot of them. The weather was very misty so views were a little compromised. What was disappointing is that because of how our time was managed, the weather and the traffic, it meant our return trip was 3.5 hours and we arrived at 7,15pm so tired it almost ruined our trip

Varied and interesting tour.

We had a great day with our guide Nancy. She guided us through a good and varied program in a calm, serious and pleasant way. Our warmest recommendations.
