Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Took a 5 hour tour of Ho Chi Minh with Huyen. I had given her a few sights I was interested in seeing and then she filled in the rest of the time. She was on time, professional, good English, and full of history. Huyen was amazing! She was a pleasure to spend the day with! "
"Elise was most accommodating. Walking in the heat is hard for me at 73. Elise was kind and patient. Not only did we learn about the local food and how to eat it.,,,,we learned things about the culture we never could have picked up on our own. I highly recommend her, you won\u2019t be sorry! Thanks Elise you have my best wishes!"
"What a special afternoon spent with Huyen, exploring Districts 5 and 6! We walked through neighborhoods and markets where the locals live and shop. Huyen was hugely enthusiastic and entertaining while she imparted so much information on Saigon\u2019s history, culture and economy. We were never bored. We visited the Ba Thien Hau Temple and, once again, Huyen was informative and entertaining while she walked us through the temple. It wasn\u2019t crowded and it was truly a special experience. When we were done, Huyen used her app to get us a taxi directly back to our hotel. We would recommend this tour for anyone who wants to really get off the beaten trail. And we would definitely book Huyen again. She was fabulous."

"Huyen was not only personable and lovely she was also super knowledgeable and hilariously funny. A great combination in a tour guide."
"We had a fantastic sightseeing tour with Thien, 4 hours private tour on foot through Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon. We saw many historical places and hidden gems, we would not ever had found ourselves. Thien gave us a great introduction to Vietnamese traditions and culture but especially deep insights about the history of the country. Thien is a great story teller. We highly recommend \"Highlights & Hidden Gems of Ho Chi Minh City\" with Thien \u2764\uFE0F\uD83D\uDE00. Best, Tine & Carsten"
"Huyen provided my family with the most amazing, memorable and authentic experience at the Cu Chi Tunnels. We shared laughter, knowledge and reflection throughout the tour. Huyen\u2019s humour, care and encouragement made this a unique experience we will always cherish. "
"Elise was very knowledgeable about the city, culture, history and cuisine. The food was incredible and the experience will not be forgotten. The venues that Elise took us to were of the upmost quality and cleanliness. Opens your eyes to real Vietnamese food of the locals. "
"We had the pleasure of spending a few hours with Hieu. He is extremely open and easy to talk to. We had some great conversations and he was full of knowledge. We would highly recommend booking a tour with him\u2026 you won\u2019t regret it! "
"We had a great 3 hr walking tour with Huyen today. What a delightful person to spend the morning with. She showed us many aspects of the city and really listened to our brief of what we wanted to see. Don\u2019t hesitate book a walking tour with Huyen"
"Thien was an amazing tour guide. We learned so much not just about the region but the history of Vietnam. She took us to some off-the-beaten-path spots where we met some of the best people and had some of the most memorable moments on our trip to Vietnam. Thien is an encyclopedia of knowledge on Vietnam so the whole day felt like a crash course in Vietnam studies. Cannot recommend her tour enough!"
