Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your trip.

Our Ho Chi Minh City tours cover much more than the city’s main landmarks. Depending on your itinerary, you can explore historic sites and lively markets, try local street food, cruise along the Saigon River, visit the historic Cu Chi Tunnels, or travel beyond the city to the Mekong Delta and other destinations in southern Vietnam.

A full-day tour is a good way to see the city’s main highlights, while two or three days give you more time for local food, neighborhood experiences and nearby excursions. If you would like to combine Ho Chi Minh City with the Mekong Delta, Cu Chi Tunnels or other destinations in southern Vietnam, we can arrange a longer private itinerary around your travel plans.

Absolutely. A combined Ho Chi Minh City and Mekong Delta tour is a popular way to experience both the city and the quieter side of southern Vietnam. Depending on the itinerary, you can take gentle boat rides, visit floating markets, explore local villages and cycle through the countryside. These experiences are suitable for families, seniors and couples, while at the Cu Chi Tunnels, going inside the tunnels is completely optional.

Absolutely. Tailor-made travel is at the heart of what we do. Every traveler has different interests, schedules and travel styles. Whether you want to focus on street food, nature, cultural experiences or a relaxed pace for a family trip, we can design a private itinerary around your plans, with private transportation, local guides and accommodation arranged as needed.

It depends on how you like to travel. A private car and local guide are convenient for combining several places in one day, while cycling, walking, cyclo rides and boat trips offer a closer look at local life. For multi-day journeys, we arrange the transport and logistics around your itinerary.

Our private day tours generally include private air-conditioned transportation, a dedicated English-speaking guide, entrance fees listed in the itinerary, bottled water and lunch at local restaurants. Each tour page clearly lists what is included and excluded, so you know what to expect before booking.

Ho Chi Minh City is warm year-round, with two main seasons: the dry season from December to April and the rainy season from May to November. The dry season is generally more convenient for outdoor sightseeing, while the rainy season often brings short showers, particularly in the afternoon. A light raincoat or umbrella can be useful if you are traveling during these months.

Yes, Ho Chi Minh City is generally a safe and welcoming destination for international travelers. If you want to try street food, our local guides can recommend popular places and help you discover local dishes with confidence. As in any busy city, it is a good idea to keep an eye on your belongings in crowded areas and take normal precautions when getting around.
