“As two old Aunties having their first experience on a scooter to watch Saigon wake up, we had an awesome time with Tom. Both guides were very informative and engaging and we had quite a few laughs. As were weren't very fit they were very accommodating and assisted us in every way. The timing of our tour was 2 days before Tet so we saw the bustling flower market and the beautiful decorations adorning the streets. Our 2 hours touring around Saigon was gentle but exhilarating and certainly started our holiday on an exciting note as it was something we thought we would never do. We would definitely do it…”
