Joseph was an amazing tour guide and I would highly recommend him. HCMC is a vast city, but Joseph was able to bring it down to size in a half day and experience the past, present and future in a very real way. And if that wasn’t enough, we then stop for coffee at his home so he could see how people live?? Just an excellent time and we appreciate all that he did. Very, very knowledgeable and fun to be with!

Joseph tailored our tour to our tastes and needs. He is knowledgeable and fluent in English. We had an excellent vehicle and driver. Highly recommended.

This was our 2nd day with Joe and he again did a wonderful job. On this tour we had a participant who is unable to take long walks and stay in the hot weather. Joe was able to easily accommodate her and we all had a great time. In fact, he was so good that we asked him to extend the tour by an hour or so. Highly recommend.

Joseph was a fantastic guide! We had already spent a day touring Ho Chi Minh City on a "traditional" tour, so Joseph went out of his way to show us Hidden Saigon. It was wonderful seeing parts of the city through his eyes - areas we would never have seen without his expertise. In addition, he had arranged for private transportation, which was a nice touch. I cannot not recommend Joseph highly enough. I'd give him 10 stars if I could! Thank You Joseph for making our visit to your city so memorable.
