I'm staying in Ho Chi Minh City, but I wanted to go to the beach, so I applied for this tour. Our guide Jerry was very kind and enjoyed the tour well enough for one person. I also had a lot of photos taken! Climbing the statue of Christ was quicker than I expected, but it was hotter and sweatier than I expected. At the beach, we had a relaxing drink under a parasol and enjoyed the view, before taking a break. However, it is hot everywhere, so it is better to take good care of the heat.
