“A fantastic photo tour! (wearing Aodai during city walk!)”
We had a wonderful photo tour with traditional Aodai on. Thank you so much for all the arrangement of photo location, Aodai rental shop, frequent rides of taxi, and local seafood restaurant. I felt like you were guiding us for a whole day itinerary! My friend Rieko was also satisfied with your service. Originally we ordered one person at first, but you guys fully attended us to the last moment. We really appreciate your team! Looking forward to the photo data in near future. See you again in Saigon. Thank you again for the unforgettable photo tour!

The highlight of Ho Chi Minh City, experience real Saigon
Commonly known as "Saigon", Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam; a home to more than 10 million people and 8 million scooters! We can still see well-preserved colonial buildings and war relics in the city. On the other hand, high rise and modern buildings are making their presence felt. Although the city is chaotic with endless slow-moving traffic, the hustle and bustle of the city do not affect the unique friendliness of the people.
