If your cruise stops in Saigon / Ho Chi Minh, Lee is the best guide to help you see Vietnam. Lee provide a great tour! We really enjoyed our time with Lee and the best part was his background living in the Mekong Delta. We feel like his tour showed us the real Vietnam. The city has many interesting places and Lee covered all of them but our time with Lee on the Mekong was our favorite. In addition to being an excellent guide, we asked him some crazy things, like where can we get our hair cut. Lee delivered on every part of the trip and all our crazy side requests too. He communicated with us from start to finish and we are very glad we meet Lee. We would recommend Lee to friends and family.

Lee is terrific. He is knowledgable and enthusiastic about his home country and all the arrangements he made for us happened with precision and super planning. He's also fun with whom to spend time. Highest recommendation!

We had two of the most sensational days with Lee in Saigon. He took us through the Mekong Delta, to visit a local island not seen by many tourists, and a full city tour of Ho Chi Minn. There wasn't a detail he left out, we had a full history lesson, his English is impeccable and his sense of humor contagious. He made the whole country come alive for us. You absolutely could not do better tha Lee and we highly recommend him

We just spent two days with Lee, exploring Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong River. What a great experience! Lee was knowledgeable, funny and professional and we really felt that we are leaving with a better appreciation of the culture. Being from Mekong he skipped the tourist traps and the lines that everyone else had to deal with. At every moment it felt like he was watching over us to make sure we had the perfect tour. You can't go wrong with this tour.
