Reviews

What a rush!

I went on Kevin’s Street food motorbike tour with Victor. Riding on a motorbike on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City is a an amazing experience. Victor was cool and calm as he weaved and bobbed through traffic. He showed me to a number of very interesting street food vendors, and to the all-night flower market. It was a great way to see the city.

Great day with best guide

We went to Chu Chi tunnels with Kevin. He was a great guy – knowledgeable and welcoming. He was able to navigate a very busy location and make sure that we saw the key sites at the tunnels. Kevin is personable and attentive, which was especially welcome in the intense heat of the tunnels. Our friends recommended Kevin as a guide and we can see why. We recommend them without hesitation.

Progessional, friendly and open,

Kevin plans were great! Adjusted as our group requested. Well informed. Easy to understand and follow. Definitely would recommend!
