Thien is funny. Her english skills are good but something hard to understand her accent. She provides an interesting local perspective. Enjoyed the waterbus. And the trip to the local neighbourhood.

Wir kamen erst zu spät an, ich schrirb ihr auf der platform, und nach ca 20min stand sie auf einmal vor uns. Sie hat uns gesucht. Wir waren eine kleine Gruppe von 3+Emma. Es war eine sehr gut zusammen gestellte Tour, wir haben typisches Essen in den shophouses probiert, und haben gar nicht so viel geschafft, weil wir leider schnell satt waren! Emma konnte auf jede Frage antworten und hat sich wirklich viel Mühe gegeben. Wir haben uns viel unterhalten und konnten sie alles fragen! Toller Abend, sehr zu empfehlen

I would thoroughly recommend Bihn and his team for tours. My host/scooter rider was Emmie. She was amazing and a huge asset to the team - informative, engaging and safe! If anyone reads this, they should ask for Emmie personally! The food I tasted was reasonably priced, tasty and very eclectic. I would recommend the land snails, surprisingly tasty. In short, if you are considering this tour, stop deliberating and book up. Thank you Bihn, Emmie and team 👍
