However, there are some points that are not really satisfactory in this tour. Our tour guide, although friendly, did not have a deep knowledge of the history and culture of the places we visited.
In addition, the time spent in some destinations is also a bit short, not enough to fully relax and explore. We look forward to having more free time to explore activities and places more naturally.
Overall, the tour is still worth experiencing, but needs to improve in guide quality and time management to bring a better experience to visitors. Less
This tour has a well-organized excursion and excellent service. It saved us so much time in planning a short trip to Ho Chi Minh city to see the most essential sights in the city. BestPrice did a great job in tailoring to our needs and expectations, especially when I requested to visit popular restaurants… More This tour has a well-organized excursion and excellent service.

Our tour guide Tom was supportive and knowledgeable. We only managed to travel around the city with his help, even in small alleys he would know the way out and guide us to explore the daily life of the locals. He can answer all of our questions about Ho Chi Minh city: the food, history, culture - he is literally a walking dictionary! Just ask him if you have any questions, and make sure it would be challenging for him to answer.
I would definitely recommend this tour to firstcomers to the city or time-limited travelers looking to gain a deep insight into this lovely city!
