Festivals in Ho Chi Minh City

Just as this implicit new/old opposition suggests, Tet celebration rituals symbolize a number of similar contrasts, originating from Vietnamese culture: the connection between past and present, the living and the dead, the natural and spiritual worlds. Preparation before the celebrations traditionally takes up to a whole week, consisting of gift-giving, family gatherings, decoration, special food preparation, drinks and social activities. The festival is held right in the center of Ho Chi Minh City, and beautiful flower displays - peach and apricot blossom, can be seen everywhere, along with dragon images. Oftentimes hotels even hold flower competitions, determining who can make the best flower arrangement.
The Tet Vietnamese New Year festival is held late January or early February, depending on the Lunar calendar.

Local Flavors of Saigon at Night: Private Food Tour

Son &Thuy were fabulous hosts, very friendly, great company and with very good english. They took us around the city on their motorbikes (great experience) to sample 6 different dishes which we would have been unlikely to find ourselves. We even cooked one! Highly recommend the tour and these 2 students! Ruth & Tom

Best of Marrakech: Highlights and Hidden Gems tour

The 4 hours we spent with Khalil walking through Marrakesh were really amazing! He provided us with fun stories, historical backgrounds and many interesting facts about the sights we stopped at. He even knew an answer to any of our questions and was always in a happy mood! As the Bahia palace was too crowded to enjoy - he suggested to visit another (lesser known but as beautiful!!!) palace which had even more things to explore and this without other visitors 'spoiling the view'.
Without him we would have never been able to navigate through the souk so easily and relaxed. After the tour he even showed us the best local places to have lunch at!
The only thing missing from the website description was the tea at a local home, however, Khalil showed us where to get spices for our cooking back home, as sombody in our group wished for.
I can really recommend Khalil as a guide! We had an amzing and fun time with him! Thanks again! :)

90 Minutes Kickstart Tour of Porto

Nos encantó nuestra experiencia con Orlando. Nos enseñó cosas y sitios que nunca hubiéramos visto sin él y su conocimiento de la ciudad y su historia era increíble. Nos contó muchos ‘fun facts’ e hizo la experiencia inolvidable. También tiene un buen sentido del humor. Gracias, Orlando!
