Morning Markets Motorbike Tour
Super fun! Ho Chi Minh City is famous for its many motorcycles, and it’s more exciting to sit in and out! In addition, the tour guide knew that my friend and I had not eaten breakfast, and they took me to the local market to eat pho. It was really impossible to go to the car; Zhongyou took me to the first cafe in Viet to buy coffee powder together. This is an event. Really 10 tweets!

Slum Tour by Motorbike
It’s rare to have the opportunity to come into contact with different faces of Ho Chi Minh City. The organizer has already known and screened the slums beforehand. Tourists don’t have to worry about safety. The guide this time is Vinh. The English is very fluent and the introduction is very detailed.

Ho Chi Minh City & Cu Chi Tunnels Full Day Tour
Although it is in English, the content is easy to understand! The itinerary is very fulfilling, and the lunch is very delicious 😍 Generally, you can finish the shallow Ho Chi Minh City by buying a package of itinerary, and you will basically step on the bigger ones! The tour guide is lively and interesting. In the process, you can learn a lot of the history of wars and why Vietnam has become like this until now. I think it is very recommended

[40% OFF] tiNiWorld Ticket in Ho Chi Minh City
This is my 1st purchase on Klook and I don't use the voucher yet to acknowledge this payment. In overall of the purchase,there are something Klook should improve: 1. Confirmation time: it's too slow to get voucher so if anyone wants to have voucher, must buy in advance. 2. Some items we should reduce the date selection.
