Nhan and Quoc Bao were fantastic guides! We adventured through city’s the different districts on a motor bike to see the history and lifestyle of the Vietnamese people. It’s a very authentic tour! If you come to Ho Chi Minh City this tour is a motorbike tour that you should book. I recommend doing this tour if you’re looking for an authentic tour around Ho Chi Minh City.

This a great tour for visitors who love to see Ho Chi Minh City skyline at night. Our tour guide Loi , a very nice young guy who was so helpful, informative and explained what to expect during our tour. I wish to have a tour guide like him again in the future when I get back to Ho Chi Minh City. Thank you so much Loi, job well done!
