Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Street food can intimidate travellers as there are many upset stomach stories that make people avoid going for it. Book this street food tasting tour and you’ll not regret it. Elise was really engaging and really well researched. As we ate at some amazing street food places she was also telling us about the history of vietnam as well as the local area as well as the architecture. If you want to go to a Michellin guide street food stall then you must book this. Wonderful food, lovely people and a chance to see places you’d never find on your own. Elise has 8 years of experience to draw from and it shows. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Elise xx"
"Great tour guide—very knowledgeable and friendly "
" Hieu picked us up at our hotel right on time, and took us on a tour in a more local part of Saigon. He showed us some parts of Saigon that we’re important for him, and told us a lot about Vietnams history. Ofcourse I dont know what Hieus plans was from the start, but when he heard we went on a foodtour the day before, is seemed like he changed some plans in his head, so we didn’t had the same experience two days in a row. Acutely we’re so pleased with Hieu, that we had thought about another tour, with Hieu, but we had to change that plans due to some lite illness. If you need a tour in Saigon, Hieu has our greatest accomandations."
"Thien is a gem of a guide. ❤️ We spend a day in Saigon with her and her driver in a car supported sightseeing as I was travelling with a 74 year old mother who has mild mobility issues. Thien was very knowledgeable, kind to me, my mom and others around us. She didn't only tell us the historical background but also weaved in a great deal of cultural information that makes the daily fabric of Vietnamese life including fantastic food tastings🥰 by the end of the tour, we felt like family. I can recommend her 100%. Plain and simple. "
"Hieu was a wonderful guide! I felt like we spent an informative afternoon with one my adult kid’s friend! He was so flexible to accommodate our schedule. He met us at our hotel. We weren’t supposed to get lunch but we were hungry so he took us to a delicious small local spot. We walked into a coffee shop so we could learn about Vietnamese coffee from a local owner. Really a lovely afternoon with a great guy! Thank you Hieu!!!!"
"We had an absolute blast with Hieu He’s super personable, incredibly knowledgeable, and just an all-around fun, great-energy guide to experience Saigon with. Choosing a private tour with Hieu instead of a big group was the best decision. It felt relaxed, personal, and special. He took such amazing care of us the entire time. Lots of laughs! So happy we found him. Thank you, Hieu for showing us the beauty and history of Saigon!!! 🙌✨"
"Elise was lovely and we were taken round parts of Ho Chi Minh we would not have seen - a beautiful pagoda, the original Chinese area of town, a local market way more authentic than Ben Thanh and the flower market. Elise was chatty and informative and we would highly recommend."
"We enjoyed a fantastic tour with our guide Hieu, who took us to the popular landmarks as well as the ‘real’ side of Saigon, visiting markets, meeting the people and finding out the fascinating history about the city. Strongly recommend! "
"Huong was an awesome guide. Very friendly and helpful. He also gave me heaps of tips for other places to check out. Definitely recommend! "
"We had such a wonderful time with Jecky! He showed us some hidden gems in Saigon that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Jecky’s love for his city is truly infectious, and I’d definitely recommend him to anyone!"
