08 Jan 2012 Our flight into Saigon was delayed and we were able to call up Urban Adventures and reschedule our cyclo tour for the next day-no problem at all. Our guide, Vang, was wonderful. My sister and I were the only 2 people on the trip--so it was like a private tour. Vang did a great job telling us about the sites we were visiting and answering our many questions about Vietnamese culture, traditions, and history. We would definitely recommend this tour!

13 Nov 2011 I have taken a few Urban Adventures now and this was by far the best. Tim is knowledgeable, interesting and has clearly worked hard to be able to run a fantastic tour. I could not recommend him highly enough. PS Just with Urban Adventure in general and the booking system - Urban Adventures don't really need to be confirmed, certainly no office I spoke to wanted confirmation, could that be changed on the email sent out after purchase?

13 Nov 2011 I can't imagine anyone being more knowledgeable, informed, engaging and personable than Jared, particularly about the neighborhood he knows personally from his own family history. Our Urban Adventure tour exceeded whatever expectations we might have had and we enjoyed the experience very much.
