Better than expected
Booked last minute and it still went perfectly. Confirmation was instant and the instructions were clear. The children loved it, which is the real test.

Private guide in Ho Chi Minh City: the Harbour Side walk
A private guide who knows Ho Chi Minh City properly — French colonial facades and a river of motorbikes. No coach, no rush, and the day bends to what you actually want to see.

About this experience
Your guide is a historian or an architect who has lived in Ho Chi Minh City for years. The day is yours: they will show you what they would show a friend, skip the parts that are only worth a photograph, and find you a table for lunch somewhere locals eat. Because it is private, the pace is whatever suits you, and you can change the plan as the day goes on.

Would book again
Beautiful setting and very well run. The timing gave us plenty of room to explore at our own pace. Went with my partner and we both enjoyed it.

Disappointing
Not what was advertised. The description promised more than the experience delivered. The children loved it, which is the real test.

Superb
Our guide was excellent — patient with the children and full of stories we would never have found ourselves. Travelled on my own and felt completely comfortable.
