“Kevin is wonderful!”
This was a very rewarding experience! Kevin’s English skills are exceptional. His pronunciation and clarity is beyond expectations for someone’s second language. His patience and humor over our long passport control experience, then waiting for luggage that did not arrive, added greatly to reduce our own stress on our arrival. Kevin created a fun, interesting, and learning itinerary and we could easily experience everyday life in Saigon. We were not tourists looking out the bus window. For personal reasons, Kevin could not accompany us to Tay Ninh Holy See and Ba Den Mountain, but including that in his itinerary was and enlightening experience. The drive to/from is tedious but well worth it. Cam oh !, Kevin. Mot, Hai Ba, cheers!

“Great day out in Ho Chi Minh City”
Our total experience with Kevin was fantastic. Communications ahead of our day trip was excellent, Kevin helped us locate luggage storage at the airport, he arrived ahead of time and was very flexible to suit our travel times. During the day his local knowledge was first class and his stories really helped us to understand the culture and background to the city he grew up in. We had a great experience and highly recommend Kevin as a tour guide for Ho Chi Minh City / Saigon.

“Best guide in HCMC - a gentleman and knowledgeable ”
I travelled with my wife (a wheelchair user) and my 12 yo daughter. In the week prior to arriving Kevin sent and adjusted the itinerary to ensure it was to our personal preference and all aspects were accessible. No amount of effort was too much. We met for a food tour on night 1 (4 hours). Kevin knew all the side streets and best vendors. He explained the culture, detailed the cuisine and kept us thoroughly entertained. He escorted us to and from the hotel and to be honest, within a few minutes of being in his company we knew we had made a great choice. Day 2 cu chi tunnels Kevin collected us in an air. Conditioned minivan. On the journey we chatted bout the tunnels and the history of Vietnam, again he had great knowledge and insight. We ate in a beautiful lunch venue (included) before visiting the war museum in city centre and a lovely walking tour, again personalised to ensure my wife could manage the route. He actually adjusted the walk midway through as the weather was so nice, so we all walked back to hotel in sunshine. This added extra time but Kevin refused to take extra money. Day 3 Mekong delta Again collected in minivan for long journey to Delta. Stops includes a tour of a silk factory and an opportunity to buy top quality clothes at very. Heap prices. While at the Mekong we visited several island, learning about the history and sampling local produce and given private tours of seceral area include coconut sweet factory!!! We got to hold a hive of domesticated bees that were making honey, also had a snake wrapped around us !!! Lunch was beautiful on banks of the Mekong. Followed by private boat trip on river. We also had opportunities to feed crocodiles and catfish. I CANNOT express enough how amazing the whole experience was and how thankful we are to Kevin. I would have happily paid double for these tours!! If you are visiting HCMC contact Kevin in advance to see what he has available ! My daughter still asks after him each morning !!
