Trangiaotien was such an amazing guide, she knew so much about the history of the city and different districts. Stopping at each place to eat, she ordered all the meals with ease and explained the traditions of the meals. I would highly recommend this to anyone keen on exploring the city and culture of Saigon.

Qui and his group were great. They drove us around the city letting us eat tasty food and gave tours of district 3 and the flower district. The food was very tasty and local, and riding on the scooters through the streets was a great experience. Would definitely recommend this tour for people wanting to explore and see the city like a local.
