    1. +TARN NGUYEN True! Uber and Grab Taxi/ Grab Car offers very competitive pricing in Vietnam. However there are still many fake taxis around town and we believe people still need to be quite careful 🙂

    1. +ThereGoesSpider Thank you so much for your kind words every time 🙂 We really think Vietnam is a country of smiles all around

  2. Guys, you’re truly great! Thank you for this video, I shall use all the tips in two months :)))

  3. Vinasun taxi drivers are good except almost none of them speak English or any other language than Vietnamese. But the dispatch people for Vinasun at the airport will treat you like crap.

  4. im vietnamese, but we don’t need taxi, our aunt thuy, pick us up from ho chi minh city airport

    1. FluffahToastGaming cuz u’re Vietnamese so that’s why you have you family there….while the visitors don’t have

  5. scammers just reduce tourist numbers bcoz tired of being scammed.

  6. Some useful advise thank you! We are heading to Vietnam soon and one thing we are most nervous about is being scammed!

  7. Hi,I’ll visit VN in November and I need a private tour guide. Can I have your phone number and email so I can contact you? Thank you.

  8. Very informative video! So from arrival area I will go down and look for the taxi stand? I am going to HCMC on Dec this year.

    1. Once you’re out of Tan Son Nhat Airport you should go on the left and you’ll find a line of mailinh and Vinasun taxi 🙂 Both these companies should have staffs there who can call taxis for you!

  9. For God’s sake, every Asian countries got scammer by the boat loads. Thanks for sharing the video. It’s scary to travel abroad as a tourist, we got a target painted on our forehead :(.

  10. Great job on the videos. Vietnam is great country to visit. These scammers are not very smart because if they are honest and provide good service, more foreigners will come and give them more business.

    Even the 2 suggested taxi companies are not totally honest; they will take the longer route, just like those in other countries (Thailand, US, HK, Taiwan and others). The good thing is just $1 or $2 USD more.
