Thanh’s tour was a perfect intro into Saigon’s people, places and history. We had a great time seeing the city sights and also enjoyed a fun game and some pearls of wisdom from our Guru guide. Would highly recommend this walking tour.

Thanh was great, and really cared about the experience that we got under his lead. He made an effort to keep us comfortable in the shade, while teaching us so much along the way. He had a great sense of humor and the tour was a great blast.
