“Excellent Tour Guide!”
There is no better way to experience Saigon! Kevin and his team were great to us. If you are going to be in Saigon, there is no better tour guide than Kevin. He is extremely knowledgeable about the local culture and will take great care of you. Zigzagging through traffic was a blast! His calm, friendly demeanor made us feel at ease. I highly recommend you take his tours as soon as you arrive in town to get to know the local scene. Looking forward to taking more tours the next time I am in town.

“Amazing trip to Cu Chi Tunnels with Lee”
We did the Cu Chi Tunnels tour with Lee and really enjoyed it. He was very knowledgeable and brought the history to life in a personal way, sharing stories of his father’s experiences with the Viet Cong and his grandfather’s experiences from that era. He was open, engaging, and happy to answer questions, which made the tour even more memorable. I would highly recommend doing this tour with Lee.
