This was an incredible tour. Would give 6 stars if I could. AK was a wonderful tour guide and expertly relayed both historical and cultural information about Saigon/Ho Chi Minh and Vietnam more generally. He also showed us a number of spots off the beaten track that gave us an even more intimate insight into life in Saigon. A really lovely guy with so much amazing information to share. Excellent tour. Thank you AK!
