Great morning! - We had a wonderful experience on the Jeep tour, although one of the jeeps broke down and had to be replaced. Lots of good information from Hoa!

Fun way to see the city - Private tour in old US Army Jeep, good information given when guided round the landmarks- Unification Palace was very interesting - but just fun being driven around amongst the scooters.

Something different, city tour by old jeeps! - We had a fantastic trip. Tour guide Colbie was super friendly, connected well with our children and answered lots of questions both about the places we were visiting and general questions about Vietnam and culture. The jeeps gave a sense of adventure and added to the atmosphere of the trip. We had two breakdowns in the middle of the road but it added to the adventure! Car was moved to the side of the road and an alternate one sent within 5 minutes. we travelled in 2 cars as we had 4 people. A fun way to get a sense of the layout of some of the sights within HCM. We adjusted our time to spend a bit longer at the War Remnants Museum and less at the Ben Tanh Markets but if you are a history buff you might wish to return for a longer visit.

Fun way to get around the city and learn about the history - Great fun to be driven round the city in an authentic 1960s US Army Jeep. We visited the War Remnants Museum, Independence Palace, Central Post Office, Notre Dame and the Ben Thanh Market. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable (probably because he had been doing it for 26 years) and explained everything in great detail allowing us to understand much more of the history of the city. Although there are a lot of tours out there, this is a personalized tour for a small number of people which was definitely an advantage.

Best personal guide around the city! - The best and only way to see the city! Hoa is an incredible guide, knows so much history of the city and you can tell he loves his job. Getting around in the jeep means you can see everything as he explains along the way. They provide cold beers and water for the entire tour, highly recommend this tour.

Entertaining and great! - The tour was entertaining and great if you want to see a lot in a short time. Among other things, we went to a temple that was very impressive. Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to take photos there. Our guide was Duyen, she is so incredibly funny and quick! Do the tour in the morning when the heat is still bearable. It's pleasant in a jeep, but don't forget a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses. Please don't expect any depth from the tour, but it's highly recommended for a short time!

Excellent! - Changed to evening tour. Perfect way to tour the city via open air jeep. Kids loved it and a bit cooler to do in the early evening.

Fun way to learn about HCMC - We had a great time on our jeep tour. The jeep had a maintenance issue and they didn’t know if they’d be able to fix it in time for our tour and offered us to move it to a few other days. Our schedule was flexible so we said we could do it later in the night or the other day. They ended up fixing it the same day and we started our tour at 5:30 pm which was perfect for weather and sunset. We couldn’t go into some of the original stops so they offered to drive us by more places and take us to a local street food market for dinner. They had beverages for us in a cooler on the jeep and explained the history of the city and the cites as we drove by. The food we ate at the street food market was great. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this tour. You can see a lot of the city while learning the history of the city.

Great but wanted more time on the jeep - Very knowledgeable guide.
First visited temple and post office
Reunification palace was the highlight and War museum very confronting
Felt rushed at times and finished 3 and half hours instead of 4.
Would have liked to drive around town more in the jeeps
Finished at lacquer shop of which we had no interest
