The cyclo ride...

The cyclo ride sightseeing before the cooking part was great fun. Remember to bring a hat! Our guide Camellia was amazing and so accommodating. Her English was excellent. Our chef Dung was very knowledgeable and a great teacher. The cooking experience was so much fun and easy to follow. Very highly recommend.

Camellia is first class

I was fortunate to have been the only customer, which made me feel like a true VIP! Camellia delivered an exceptional experience—she was patient, knowledgeable, and thorough in answering all of my questions. Her deep understanding of Saigon’s history and culture made the tour both educational and engaging. I truly appreciated her professionalism, flexibility, and friendly demeanor. For anyone seeking a first-class tour experience in Saigon, I highly recommend Camellia.
