Experience tomorrow the best of
Ho Chi Minh City with Withlocals

"Though it was hot, the only heat came from the Saigon Family Tour. With a perfect mix of fun and gratification, the Saigon Tour was the apple of my eye. Not only were the food and experiences the highlight, but the company and companionship of our Tour Guide, Thien. Clearly an experienced tour guide, Thien gave us an experience that I will look back on whenever the conversation of Vietnam is brought up. The post office was one attraction and it made sure that I will mail my 5 star review straight through to Thien’s company. We learned a lot of history, and I am sure that this exceptional journey will go down in history as well. From the bottom of my heart, I strongly recommend Thien and the tour."

"My family and I really enjoyed both our tours with Thien. On day 1, we had a custom tour, with District 1 highlights and then a tour in a very local neighborhood. Highlight of day 1 was the little coffee shop that has been around for 87 years! On day 2 we went to the tunnels and that's where Thien really shines. She knows and apparently is best friends with just about everyone and can get the best spots away from all the other tourists. Listening to her family stories is a delight as they experienced war from both perspectives (her mom's side worked for the Americans and her dad was Vietcong). Can't get any more personal than that! Transport to the tunnels can take a couple of hours and we had a very comfortable car, extremely safe driver and very very cold A/C which is paramount, given the heat and humidity in Saigon. Thanks for a lovely couple of days Thien!"

"We joined Spring on this awesome tour with our 18 month old and his grandparents. We strolled through the cooler laneways and learned about Vietnamese culture and food. We tasted the most spectacular food, which Spring ordered for us at every stop. She made sure we had everything we needed and introduced us to so many new things that we would definitely not have discovered otherwise. My parents and toddler all loved it. A very memorable experience. Thank you, Spring!!"

"Huyen was a great tour guide! She was very friendly, had so much information to share with us about Ho Chi Minh (past and present), and took us to some unique areas we never would have seen otherwise! She introduced us to some of her favorite treats, eats, and areas of the city. She was also great our girls! We highly recommend touring with her :). "

"We had an entertaining tour full of information. We took the bus to Chinatown together and visited a few touristy places, but also very quiet spots without many tourists. Thien was able to answer all our questions and had additional stories to tell on many topics. Her perfect English and clear pronunciation were great, so we were able to understand everything easily. Although we met friends of hers, we weren't asked to buy anything or give a tip anywhere. Her cheerful manner also made the tour a great experience for the children. We give our full recommendation."

"Hieu was very knowledgeable and passionate throughout our tour. He adjusted the tour to meet our needs and preferences to maximise our experience. We enjoyed exploring District 6 including wet and flower markets and experiencing some great food (Bahn cuon) and different Vietnamese coffees. All in all a great experience."

"We had such a great morning exploring Ho Chi Minh City with Huyen! She was so friendly, full of interesting facts, and made the whole experience fun and easy. She was amazing with my 10-year-old daughter keeping her engaged and making sure she felt part of everything. She helped her become more confident in a new country. It felt more like hanging out with a local friend than a formal tour — highly recommend!"

"Huyen was fantastic. She was friendly in her messages and was able to accommodate us, with a very last minute change. She was an absolute joy on the trip, not only did we get to experience a side of Ho Chi Minh that we would never have known but she also filled the tour with history, etiquette and stories that made the trip so much more than what it said we were receiving. We would strongly recommend that you book with her as it made our day something rather special and incredible."

"We had an incredible experience with Hoàng as our food tour guide in Ho Chi Minh City. He took us all over the city to try authentic Vietnamese dishes we never would have found on our own. Every stop offered something unique — from amazing street food to cozy fast-casual spots — all deeply connected to the heart of Vietnamese culture. Hoàng was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole tour feel effortless and fun. This was hands down one of the highlights of our trip. 10/10 recommend to anyone wanting a genuine taste of Vietnam!"

"A day with Thien is a day of learning about local history and culture. She is incredibly easy to be around and is a rare authentic person who tells it like it is. I did two tours with her and feel I’ve made a real friend."
