Mr. Tuan was an excellent. He was both friendly and knowledgeable. A variety of activities were provided (short island bike ride, etc.). Pick-up and drop-off ran exactly, and the dinner was delicious, with vegetarian choices available. A boat ride along the river to view the landscape and sights would have been preferable to the across-river transfer to the island before seeing the island’s specialised enterprises.
In general it was a fantastic vacation in which I learnt a lot.
Connie Mccormick –
Hung, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and cheerful, and she spoke excellent English. The way everything was organized was good. This car transfer went off without an issue. The driver was polite.
On our first day, we traveled to My Tho and explored two islands. We learned about coconut sweets on Turtle Island. Then we had a wonderful motorboat ride down the river, which was lined with coconut trees. There, we ate delicious seafood and enjoyed a delicious food.
Then we proceeded to Can Tho, the Mekong Delta’s largest city. Our hotel was well placed. Our tour guide planned everything so we could relax and enjoy ourselves. We enjoyed a nice dinner next to the Mekong River in the evening.

This was a very unforgettable trip. Our tour guide, Tuan, was extremely knowledgeable both during the trip and on the bus path to the tunnels.
The tunnels tour are both interesting and terrifying, giving you an insight of what individuals on both sides went through. I thought the guide/tour did an excellent job of making it a pleasant day while acknowledging how serious the issue was, and he had some very uplifting ideas on being grateful for peace now.
Thomas Wong –
My girlfriend and I had a fantastic tunnel tour with our guide, Khang. He did an excellent job at informing, entertaining, and explaining everything. He also suggested some nice locations to eat Vietnamese food in the city. First time we try “banh trang” – a street food in Hochiminh. So crazy and delicious! The hotel is in the centre of city so we can go to entertain place easily. It’s decorated simply but enough and delicate. Our room has a nice city view so we can observe the daily life of local people.

A attractive, tropical, and relaxing trip. We got to try a variety of unique foods such as coconut sweets, kumquat drink with fresh honey, fresh fruit, and so on. I had a great time with Mr. Trung, he’s funny. He made minute of it enjoyable. While introducing us about the language and culture, he kept us smiling. would recommend

Our expectations were exceeded by the tour! Was packed with Cu Chi Tunnels history. We were glad to have Samantha as our tour guide, who spoke excellent English and was also extremely informative; she was willing to take on any questions and clearly answered them; and she created a really relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. Guy can even make a fantastic British and Australian accent if necessary (jokes) would absolutely recommend these people if you want to explore the tunnels and have a relaxing day out.
Ellen Rosy –
Wonderful journey! We got a taste of both attractions – the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta. The tunnels were incredible! It was really fascinating to leave about the southern perspective of the Vietnam War.
The Mekong Delta was fine. It took a lot of walking around to acquire various products. If you were interested in purchasing something, it felt weird.
Thanks to Mr Lan, loved his banter and informative commentary. He is very informative. His English was good. He told us a lot about Vietnam’s history as well as the areas we were going. He also had a great sense of humor and created a fantastic atmosphere.

We had a great afternoon with Eric, our driver, and Hoa, our guide. Hoa showed us all the main sites (the palace, Buddhist temple, War Remnants Museum, Ben Thanh market, etc.) and was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam and the places we visited. He also made it fun by telling us a few jokes along the way and colorful facts. At Ben Thanh Market, he steered us towards the best stores and helped us negotiate the best deals, including buying some local coffee. He was highly sensitive to our needs and sensed when we were getting tired or were affected by the heat. Eric very competently drove us around town, and the open jeep was fun and not as hot as some of the ‘air-conditioned’ buses we had taken previously. I highly recommend this tour if you want to do something fun AND learn a lot about HCMC and Vietnam’s history.

The trip was well planned from beginning, our guide Dung did amazing good job! He was very proficient in telling about the different locations we visited and he facilitated a very smooth visit for our group.
The highlights of the tour was Mekong Delta tour – which brings us out of the daily mordern life. We were able to see all of the sightings on the Mekong delta – visiting the pagoda (which has a very very big Budda Statue), the bee farm, honey and honey tea tasting including the dried bananas and ginger, taking photos with the phyton, enjoying the tropical fruit listening to traditional vietnamese songs, rowing down the Mekong canals, tasting of the water coconut, visiting the coconut candy farm and tasting the snake and banana wine, a lunch included in price (vegan, vegetarian options too), riding bicycles through a local village, sipping fresh coconut water in the way back to the harbour…
Amazing, worth every cent! Highly reccomended!

Our Tour Guide, Niem, hosted us for the trip. He was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and humorous — made for an extremely entertaining tour! The small group setting focused on local businesses and artisans, which made the tour feel much less commercial. Niem provided a wealth of historical and cultural information, including local shops and food recommendations.
Alfred Mcdaniel –
Such a wonderful experience! The food was incredible (tailored to vegetarians). We learnt so much about local culture and had an absolute blast zooming about the city on the back of a scooter. Was recommended to us by fellow travelers and it did not disappoint! Our guide Steven and driver Dat were both wonderful so helpful, kind and fun!! Cannot recommend enough- honestly!!
Glenn Hill –
Great way to learn about Saigon’s history at Cu chi tunnels and enjoying the Mekong. Experience was made better by our great tour guide Mr. Dzung
Zackary Dickson –
We took the classic excursion offered by the Asia Legend Travel and it was absolutely brilliant!
Special mention to our guide, Mr. An, very fun, available and full of anecdotes for each of the places visited, I really recommend!
Bertha Cooke –
Very cool destinations—learned a ton. Our tour guide Jayden was also great. He was very nice, very fun and structured the itinerary around our group’s preferences.
Gordon Singh –
Nice van and air condition all the time. Cu Chi tunnels and Mekong Delta vas fantastic, everything planed on time. Ticket, boat, lunch and trip on the island go so easy. You don’t wait nothing, really nice experience.
Jaxson Logan –
It was an amazing morning! The discovery of floating markets was surprising! Our guide, Duy, was very friendly and have a good knowledge about many things.
We went to a beautiful garden where we tasted fruits that we haven’t tried before.
Duy was very helpful with us.
We don’t regret to wake up so early.
It is a trip to do!
Nikolas Wiley –
We had a perfect morning with our guide Mariah (Thuy Trang), a sweet Vietnamese woman that spoke very well English.
We talked about a lot of things and learned a great deal about Vietnam.
The morning market was an interesting experience and so was the rice noodle factory. But altogether it was meeting Mariah and getting to know Vietnamese culture through her, that made this trip special.

Our tour guide Bin made this trip unforgettable and worth travelling all the way. He took care of us from the moment we met and gave us a lot if facts and insides about the places we visited. Bin, keep up the good work! This was definitely one of the highlights on our Vietnam Tour. We strongly recommend Bin as a tour guide for this tour!!! After the tour he even showed us some local market and helped us finding products we needed.
