I had a list of several things I wanted to see in the city; this tour touched all of them. Tour guide was knowledgable, spoke very good english and was very thorough in sharing information. Also allowed me just enough "alone" time at each of the sites to wander on my own. Recommended to see the highlights of the city.

BRILLIANT way to see Ho Chi Minh City. Too much fun ducking and weaving through the chaotic traffic. Took us to all the highlights of HCMC, Reunification Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, etc. great fun for our kids, grown ups loved it too

A good tour if you are short of time and want to see the best bits. We booked a group tour but there were only 3 of us so received the personal touch. Very helpful and knowledgeable guide. It was good to get back on the air-conditioned mini-bus and be driven between venues as the humidity was very high. A little disappointed with the lunch but it didn't spoil the day.

This tour is a great way to familiarise yourself with the main attractions in HCMC. The guide was excellent and travel by cyclo was also a fun way to travel to each point of interest. The Remnants Museum was quite interesting and information was presented from the North Vietnamese viewpoint.

The tour guide arrived on time and was super nice to us. She was well-versed with the history of the places. The cyclos were a nice way of seeing the city too!

A must do! Great experience. The bad news, we had 4 people in our group, our guide was great, went to tip the Cyclo drivers my husbands guy GRABBED money out of his hand. It was suggested 50,000 D, we were prepared to give each of our drivers 100,000 D the one guyed 200,000 D and took off.

Great tour to get a good overall sense of the downtown area. It was a half day and hit some good sights. The guide was very nice and knew alot about the places we went

There were only 2 of us on the tour which we thought would be a good thing. Our guide simply dropped us off at the different locations and walked away. There was no explanation or guiding at all. I would suggest Viator change their tour operator for this activity.

We have used Viator to book day tours at various cities around the world and have never been disappointed. Again your customer service and tour guide in Ho Chi Minh was excellent.

Covered all the highlights! Great guide and a chance to get off the beaten track with the Chinese market and a lunch at a good but non-touristy restaurant.

For my first visit to Saigon on my owe this was a great way for me to get my bearings and get to know the city.
Highlight - finding the local restaurant for lunch, which I went back to.
Lowlight - you could do most of these attractions by yourself just as well.

The rickshaws where a fun way to get around but the tour guide bullied us into tipping the rickshaws drivers and when we offered money they always wanted more. Not a good combo for tourism

Excellent tour. The tour guide was well dedicated in the tour stops and was open to questions.

This was beyond all my expectations! The tour guide was knowledgeablle, friendly and accomadating. Her choice for lunch was at the Indochine Restaurant rather than the over rated Pho 2000 was an additional surprise that was definately one of the high points of the tour.
