I had visited HCM City several years ago and toured the usual main sites. I requested Khoa to arrange a tour that would show me more of the city and “less touristy “ areas. He did just that! I was picked up promptly at 8 AM and we spent the day on and off his motorcycle going to various places around the city. He used maps and videos on his IPad to help fill in some of the history of the city. We had discussed an itinerary before we started, but Khoa was quick to make adjustments as jet lag and the very hot day began to wear me out by the early afternoon. I had minimal difficulty understanding his English and enjoyed the stops we made. I wish my stamina would have been better to see more of what Khoa had planned to show me. However I am still satisfied with my experience of seeing more of the “real” HCM City. I definitely recommend his services. And if you happen to be a solo traveler, I recommend getting on the motorcycle and riding to more areas and “hidden “ back alleyways! Experiencing the choreography of weaving through dozens of motorcycles , cars, and buses at an intersection with no stop lights was a lot of fun!!
