We did this half day tour when we first arrived in Ho Chi Minh City. It includes a stop at a rubber plantation on the way out, including a chance to try your hand at making rice paper. The tunnel complex is spectacular, particularly once you know some of the history. Our guide, Gem (Ngoc Pham) was very informative and... More

I went on the Mekong Discovery & Cu Chi Tunnels trips (over two days) 12/13 June 2013. My tour guide was excellent for both days. She spoke brilliant English and went above and beyond for all of us. The Mekong Discovery trip should have been called the Mekong and Food Discovery tour - come hungry as you get so much... More

We went to this urban adventures for half day. Our tour guide was Mr. Long. He brought us to visit to a local house where we had our first experience of making the rice paper, watching the snake eating the rat and feeding the pigs. His restless explanation was like putting the icing on the cake. What I like was... More

We had a great experience on our two tours with our guide Long (not short!). We arrived late on Thursday and only had three nights in Saigon, so the Ho Chi Minh Discovery tour on Friday was a great way to get to know the city and see the best sights. Long was extremely knowledgeable and energetic, which made the... More

This tour was very professionally done with excellent communication a few days before to make sure everything was ok. Our tour guide Them was friendly and knew lots about the area, having earlier lived in the vicinity. Her English was very good and she told us lots about the way of life locally. Pick up was 8am outside the Opera... More

No reason to see this place with a hoard of tourists, many of whom will miss the tragedy of the site. Most any taxi driver will take you there and back for $70, allowing you as much time as you want. And you might want time here. The Cu Chi tunnels are horrifying from every perspective. Horrifying that 8,000 Vietnamese... More

Really enjoyed the tour from this operator for the half day Cu Chi Tunnels. Queenie was an excellent tour guide with a wealth of information. The only thing I would say is to book with them directly if possible and not through third parties (which can and will mark up the price!). They don't do pick up from the hotel,... More

Our wonderful tour guide, Gem got us settled on our cyclo's and took us to the War Memorial and some of the other city highlights including grand old post office building and the Reunification Palace. Finishing at the bustling market, Ben Thanh. She was very friendly and spoke of her countries history clearly and with great knowledge. Our cyclo guides... More

We did two tours on two separate days both with Urban Adventures...our guides were Tim Tim (sorry if I messed that up!) and Gem. Both were absolutely perfect! Very knowledgable and very polite. The ride was comfortable and the group was small which made it even better. I highly recommend both tours and please request one of these guides -... More
