Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a free day in HCM city, and had already done all the normal traditional tourist things. So we booked a tour of the districts, back streets, markets etc with Hieu. He was very knowledgeable and friendly, and spoke excellent English. We got a good background to Districtv10, and wandered through at a leisurely pace. We also went to the local markets, but didnt eat any toads. Highly recommended as a bit of an off the beaten track tour."
"A spur of the moment booking which we thoroughly enjoyed. Hieu took us to places in Saigon which we would never have seen on our own, such as the communist apartment blocks and one of the oldest coffee houses. He provided us a great insight on life in the city and its history. Hieu has great spoken English, conversation with him is free flowing, he is easy going and good company. I would definitely be happy to recommend Hieu and this tour to my friends, and anyone else."
"We had a fab time with Elise exploring the best Vegan food offerings Ho Chi Minh has to offer! It was great to explore some places we never would have found on our own 😊"
"Great experience with Thien again! We spent a great day in Saigon that I reviewed earlier and then on a second day we headed into the Cu Chi tunnels. What a unique and eye opening experience! Please don't miss it! Thien truly has an amazing knowledge and unique ability to share her culture and all the locals LOVE her as ❤️🩹 she took us to the tunnels that are a little farther and much less touristy so you can enjoy this unique experience without 50 people stepping on you while standing in the tunnel and ruining your picture!!! Me and my mom just loved her genuine approach. She made us feel like her family 🥰"
"Huyēn provided my wife and I with a superb afternoon filled with history, knowledge, culinary delights and fun. Significantly more than we could have expected. She was very flexible in understanding our needs and timing in Ho Chi Minh City and suggested how best to maximize our experience."
"Thien and her driver we absolutely amazing. We only had a half day in Saigon to learn as much as we could about the city (as it was before, during and after the war). I provided Thien with a few details about my dad's time in Saigon. Given our time constraints, Thien picked us up from the airport and we hit the ground running. We were lucky enough to see the Chinese areas in full bloom with the final celebrations of the lunar new year. Thien is connected to so many people and amazing stories. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute with her during our very thoughtful experience. Getting immersed into so many different areas was extra special and something we would have missed if we didn't have Thien to lead the way. I can't wait to share all of my pictures with my dad once I'm back in the states. Thien is the BEST!"
"We had a fantastic day touring Chinatown in Ho Chi Min City with Thien. She is so full of energy, enthusiasm, and information. We learned much more than we had time to see. What a great way to get an education while having fun, eating, like local and sipping on fresh coconuts. Wherever Thien took us we were welcomed with open arms and warm hearts. If we ever get back to Saigon, we will surely be requesting another day with Thien. There is so much more that we want see, learn, and taste."
"Huyen, was a great local host. She took us to several local coffee spots we never would’ve found and the coffee at all of them was excellent. Her storytelling, local and national history was also great. My wife and I highly recommend Huyen and would book her for the coffee tour and any other tour too. Thank you again and great job!"
"Huyen was the most spectular guide! Could not recommend more highly!"
"Thien was a wonderful tour guide who showed us Saigon's chinatown. Lots of tips and tricks on how to get around and shop like a local, and we truly enjoyed the bus ride to District 6 from Ben Thanh Market. Thien was on time and enthusiastic and overall had a great energy. "
