Experience the best of
Ho Chi Minh City with Withlocals

"I cannot say enough about what an incredible time we had touring the MeKong Delta with Thien. Her knowledge of the area, its history, and the people that live there was fascinating and she's an engaging story teller. We all learned so much from her. She has an easy going, funny, charming way about her that got all of us talking and engaging with the people we visited along the way. It really helps that Thien knows these people so well. She knows their history in the area and is able to create an authentic experience to share with us. Because she knows the area so well, she was able to take us on less travelled paths away from larger tour groups and while we did see those other tour groups a bit, we spent most of our time with just our little group, Thien, our boat captains, and the locals. This made the tour so special. I have amazing photos of us going down small tributaries of the MeKong river where no other boats or people were even seen. We visited a family to learn about straw mat weaving and stayed there with the family for a while. The kids were so excited to see us and my partner sat and worked on a straw mat for a while with our hostess for this part of the tour. We took the kids on a Tuk Tug ride, the first time they'd ever been on one. It was adorable. Thien has to be the very best tour guide I've had the pleasure of traveling with. She made this tour the highlight of our 3 weeks in Vietnam. We learned about the history of the delta, we talked about the history of the war, we learned about local fruit, food, and folk music, while interacting and visiting with locals all while traveling by car, motor boat, sampan, and tuk tuk. I highly recommend this tour with Thien, You will not regret it. "

"My partner and I had a fabulous walking experience with Thien who got in touch beforehand to ask if there was anything in particular that we wished to see and she planned the trip according to out requirements. The highlight was walking through the local neighbourhood of Saigon with Thien and seeing daily life for people in that district - fascinating for us westerners! Well worth the money."

"We enjoyed our tour with Huyen very much. She is very kind and helpfunctie! One will not visit plces like we without Huyen. We can recommend her highly."

"We had a wonderful afternoon with Thien. Her enthusiasm for her home city was matched by her friendly personality. Throughout the tour we gained a real insight to the city and Vietnam in general. Having a 'private' tour meant that we could ask lots of questions and Thien also made sure that she covered places that we wouldn't be covering on our time in the city. Walking around the sights on your own is fine, but if you want to find out what a place is really like, book a tour with a local. Thien is 100% recommend 🙂"

"Huyen was an attentive and knowledgeable guide. She took us to wonderful places that we would not be able to negotiate or fine on our own we highly recommend her especially for your first day in HCMC. "

"Tu was a gem. Everything we look for in a guide. Informative, engaging and knowledgeable. We had a fantastic day and would choose Tu to do another tour. Visiting cu chi tunnels was an interesting but somber experience. We were happy we chose to drive further to the “less touristy” site rather than visit the closer spot. Thanks again Tu for the amazing time "

"We had a great morning with Hieu who took us to far flung districts away from the usual tourist places. The second oldest coffee shop where we learned how to make traditional coffee was really special. And, the communist apartment blocks were interesting. Hieu was knowledgeable, friendly and really took joy is showing us his city. He even gave us suggestions for a delightful lunch spot and places to visit after leaving him. Highly recommend booking this tour!"

"Made the tour of the ‘lesser known’ Cu Chi tunnels really enjoyable with her enthusiasm and energy. Incredibly Knowledgeable on every subject and happy to answer and explain any questions we had. Would highly recommend Thien ! "

"My husband and I had an awesome time on our food tour with Elise! Every dish was amazing and it was wayyy more food than we expected. (Or needed lol but at least there is some walking to burn it off). I highly recommend Elise as a guide!"

"My husband (the “doctor” lol) and I had a great intro to Ho Chi Minh City with Jecky. We got to see the highlights and learn some history in a fun way. I highly recommend Jecky for a guide! "
