The tour was great! I've decided to do the tour very spontaneous. Emma is so nice and know a lot to say about saigon. And she know to integrate the people. It was like a nice walk with friends. For me the perfect start to get to know a bit about saigon.

It was a great tour with a visit to the main landmark in the city centre of Saigon. The only thing I would change is that I am not sure we need two breaks within a 2.5-hour tour - perhaps we could use this time to learn some new things instead
