“An Informative AND Fun day in Ho Chi Minh City”
We loved our day with Kevin. We was youthful, fun, and knowledgeable. His English pronunciation and comprehension are excellent. We took us to the out of the way places where we were the only tourists, as well as the well-known sites. While he was intent on sharing with us the realities and horrors of the Vietnam War, he also authentically shared how far the people of Vietnam have come since that time. We would highly recommend Kevin.

“Excellent Tour”
Because of the Lunar New Year, Kevin was not able to provide a tour. He sent a substitute, Huong. She was an excellent tour guide, with more enthusiasm and positivity than any guide I have ever had. Her English was perfect. She even brought board games for us to play over lunch. It was a wonderful day.
Kevin L.
Thank you Erin so much for your great review about Huong! We appreciate your time and would love to see you again in the near future.

“day trip to saigon”
On January 2, 2025 as part of a NCL cruise we visited Saigon after docking at PhuMy which was almost 2 hours from Saigon. Upon exiting the ship and talking a required shuttle bus from the port to the gate, we were met by Tom, our guide for the day, who took us to a 13 passenger van for our 10 hour excursion. Tom was a great guide providing commentary in excellent english on our way to Saigon and we visited the old French palace now used by the president, the historical post office, the War Museum, stopped for coffee at a local place, had lunch at local restaurant, stopped at the market for souvenirs, visited a shop specializing in lacquer ware and finally returned to the ship. It was a very full day and necessitated somewhat short stops at the various sites to ensure we covered the planned territory set out by kevin who set up the trip through go with guide. We were very satisfied with all details including pickup, transport, return, the vehicle and considering there were 12 of us, the trip stayed more or less on schedule. The war museum would warrant more time for those with historical interest but 45 minutes was enough to cover the highlights. The best part was the we were met at gate with a private vehicle for about 1/3 or less of the cost of a similar trip offered by the cruise ship in a 50 passenger bus. We would not hesitate to recommend go with guide for Vietnam and will consider them for future tour needs.
