Great Excursion, Great Guide

The excursion to the tunnels and the Mekong was very well planned out. Lee did a great job in structuring the excursion ensuring that our group of 4 were well isolated from the many large tour buses also visiting the tunnels. Lee's historical knowledge is excellent. The retelling of his father's stories from when his father was involved fighting for his country were extremely interesting. Lunch in the Mekong was most enjoyable, as was the boat rides and the visit to the coconut candy factory. Thank-you Lee for making the day very memorable.

Lee made our trip!

My son and I met Lee for a private tour of the city. He is very accommodating as far as our start time and flexibility as to where and what you want to see. His English is flawless and his sense of humor made us laugh throughout the day. We found we became fast friends. He found a catholic orphanage I was looking for and took us there. The eco village is a highlight as the locals go there to get away from the city. We were so impressed with Lee we hired him privately for 2 more days. You won't regret having Lee as your private guide. I think you will enjoy the sights more with him. He is very knowledgeable about Saigon and his love of his country shines through! Thank you for making our trip that much more memorable by sharing your history and knowledge of Vietnam in a fun and joyous way!

Fantastic

One word comes to mind to describe Lee: Fantastic. He is very passionate about his country, and I learned so much from him about Vietnam and the Cao Dai religion, as well as his daily life. A great tour guide. Thanks again Lee - you made my trip memorable and I loved meeting you. I will never forget. Jenny!

Ho Chi Minh

Floating temple, literally in Vietnamese ( Mieu Noi) located in the middle of Vam Thuan River, a branch of Saigon River in Go Vap District and is only accessible by boat or by Swimming..:) Built over 300 years ago, the temple is rumored to have been used to bless fishermen with peace and good fortune before they set sail for the sea. But another one has it that a heartbroken husband built it as a memorial and a token of love for his wife after she died. Saigon Local Guide Chau

The highlight of Ho Chi Minh City, experience real Saigon

Ho Chi Minh
7 hours

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.

If you are a Baby Boomer, what you know about Saigon might just be a film by Coppola and Helicoptor roar. If you are a Millenial, you might have heard of Ho Chi Minh as one of the most busy and affordable city to live in South East Asia. Regardless of your ages and nationalities, I will try my very best to make sure you are going to have a blast and some good memories to take home from my birth city.
