“Interesting and Educational Tour”
Lee is very knowledgeable, easy to understand and accommodating. The Cu Chi Tunnels tour itself is interesting and educational. Lee not only provides rich detail he also poses questions that bring you into the tour and makes the information more memorable. Would recommend the tour and Lee as your guide.

“Private tour of Ho Chi Minh City”
Lee has under the weather, so MIA took his place as our tour guide with Nghia as our driver . We felt very safe with him and he got us back to thr ship in lots of time! Mia was excellent! She shared information about Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam on the way into the city. It took a bit under two hours to get from the cruise port to Ho Chi Minh City. Before going, we asked to make some changes in the itinerary and it was no problem at all to make the changes. Our first stop was at the Eco Village. Mia was very informative as we walked around and then we stopped and had some delicious Vietnamese milk coffee by the river. After that we went to a Chinese Pagoda followed by a trip to the wholesale market. It was interesting to walk around there and see all the spices and merchandise to purchase. The merchants weren’t pushy at all. We also went on a 20 minute rickshaw ride through Chinatown. This was an extra cost but well worth it. Definitely a highlight of the day! Mia took us to another pagoda. Then we made a quick change in the itinerary because I wanted to get some good Vietnamese coffee. Mia found an excellent place to purchase coffee. While there we had an opportunity to see The lacquer factory as well. After that, we went to lunch at a small Vietnamese restaurant. It was lovely. My husband has a shellfish allergy so Mia called ahead to make some changes in our meal. Our meal was served immediately upon arrival. The server was lovely. For dessert we had egg coffee, this was just as delicious as the milk coffee. After that, we headed back to the ship. It was a full day, but we were back in plenty of time, two hours before departure. I highly recommend Mia and Go With Guide tours! Mia had very good English and she had a lot of knowledge about Ho Chi Minh city. Just the fact that she was able to make a change in our itinerary was greatly appreciated.

The Best Of Ho Chi Minh City Full Day Tour
Saigon, Vietnam's business and financial hub, has a rich history. Originally settled by the Khmers, it was taken over by the Vietnamese in the 17th century and later conquered by the French in 1859, becoming the capital of Cochin China in 1862. This led to the development of elegant architecture and broad boulevards still seen today. Saigon is known for its vibrant street life, historic sites, and warm climate, offering insights into local culture and daily life.
