We recently had the pleasure of taking a tour in Ho Chi Minh City, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Our guide, Kevin, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire tour enjoyable and engaging. We visited several local spots that gave us an authentic taste of the city. The Vietnamese food we had was delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed trying various local dishes. The tour also took us to some beautiful historical buildings and a vibrant flower market, adding a rich cultural and aesthetic dimension to our experience. Kevin's expertise and warm personality made the tour even more special. He provided insightful information about each location and ensured we had a fantastic time throughout the tour. We loved every moment of this tour and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City. It’s an experience not to be missed! Kevin, you are the best! Best regard Halvor and Family
It is indeed one of the best guiding experience of my whole career with Halvor family! The tour lengthened in 6 hours but I still felt full of energy at the final stop of Ho Thi Ky flower market. This is not just a normal tour, I feel like I am a part of your group, becoming your best local friend in Saigon! I wish you guys all the best and hopefully we will have another meet-up in the near future! Kevin Lam.
