Full description

This is a 4-hour experience in Ho Chi Minh City. It is run by VN BIKE TOUR COMPANY LIMTIED, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.

The price covers Pick up and drop off in District 1, and professional tour guide, tour guide, AC car and Entrance fees. It does not cover Tips and gratuities for guide and driver and Surcharge for the holidays in Vietnam, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

VN BIKE TOUR COMPANY LIMTIED sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with VN BIKE TOUR COMPANY LIMTIED before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Includes

  • Pick up and drop off in District 1
  • Friendly and professional tour guide
  • English-Speaking tour guide (Surcharge for other languages)
  • AC car
  • Entrance fees
  • Bottled water on the car
  • Lunch if you choose the option full day tour

Excludes

  • Tips and gratuities for guide and driver (optional)
  • Surcharge for the holidays in Vietnam

It was excellent. We had the best guide, Kien! He was knowledgeable and very charismatic in his delivery of the information. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a great day out.

la guida, Nhi, è una ragazza gentilissima che parla italiano. molto bello parlare con lei. Per il resto, il titolo dell'escursione è errato perché, a parte il tratto dall'albergo al museo (nel nostro caso brevissimo), tutto il tour è a piedi, e nonostante le varie tappe non siano lontane, con il caldo all'ora di pranzo non è semplice. Non by car ma by foot....

Der Ausflug war sehr interessant und vor allem sehr privat, da ich allein war. Das habe ich sehr geschätzt. Noo ist ein toller Guide, erzählt und weiß viel über die Geschichte Vietnams. Danke für die tollen Stunden. Ich kann diese Tour und Noo nur empfehlen.
