Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Huyen was a wonderful tour guide, had an amazing attitude, and her knowledge of hcmc is what made our morning tour a great experience for our family of four. Our family includes a ten year old who can get super hot and a grandparent who has arthritis. Huyen took great care of us and anticipated our needs when we needed it the most. This tour was our highlight of our whole trip to Vietnam and we would highly recommend you to book! "
"Hieu was fantastic - really gave us insight into real Ho Ch Minh, along with tourist sights sprinkled in. We have not stopped thinking about what he showed us!! Great English and a super person. "
"I can say with confidence that we are very lucky to have spent time on this trip with Elise. Traveling is a lot of things and the most impressive parts are the areas that make memories last or stand out for a lifetime. Elise is such a gem of a human. Able to have a conversation while effortlessly guiding and suggesting next steps. The entire time seemed as if we were meandering through a city rather than on a tour. As if time was not a constraint but more of a mark to help judge the value spent. In a city filled with motorbikes and endless movement. Elise is a person that makes you feel at home in a world that you are just a tourist pretending to fit in. Truly thank you."
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic walking tour of Ho Chi Minh City with Huyen. She was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing so much about the city’s history, culture, and daily life in a way that was both interesting and easy to understand. One of the highlights was visiting the local food market, which we absolutely loved. Huyen introduced us to local foods and gave us insights we never would have experienced on our own. She made us feel very welcome and ensured everyone had a wonderful time throughout the tour. We would highly recommend Huyen to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable and memorable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
"From the second we met Jecky, he was one of the gang. Felt like we knew him forever. Friendly, personable, kind, knowledgeable. I would not hesitate for a second to book another tour with him. He was also solid in communicating before the tour, while planning it. Thanks for a great day. "
"Elise was so warm and welcoming, and did a great job of educating us on different Vietnamese foods and cooking skills. She went above and beyond and truly treated us like guests and not just tourists paying for a service! The food was delicious and healthy. "
"Elise was very good and informative. We tried a variety of foods which was great and a lot of things we wouldn’t have tried otherwise. Elise was very friendly and we would definitely recommend! "
"I booked my tour to CuChi Tunnels with Huyen and it was a great experience. Huyen filled the two hour trip from Saigon with loads of history specific to the site, as well and pointing out little details of surroundings along the way. On the trip back we even got a cafe sua da for refreshment. Huyens smile on her profile paints the perfect picture of her cheerful personality, as well as her kind and thoughtful vibe. I highly recommend booking a tour with her. I will surely be booking her for another fact filled fun tour with her during my next trip to Saigon!! Thanks Huyen!!!"
"I had the most extraordinary insight into proper working class the nuts and bolts of Saigon with Jackie. He was very attentive answered all my questions and knew his way around. He took me to some amazing local sites that you would only be granted if you were a local and knew your way around I recommend Jackie with a 10 out of 10 an extra extraordinary night many thanks"
"Cảm ơn Huyen và Sống, I had a great day with Huyen and she was able to be friendly and insightful about the history of Saigon and Cu Chi, Huyen was thoughtful and helpful with understanding the intricacies of the history of Saigon. Highly recommend Huyen "
