Experience City Tours in Ho Chi Minh City with Withlocals

"We had such a great initiation into the local coffee culture with Elise, who took us to 3 fantastic locations to try different types of coffee. The places she took us were well thought out and unique. We had a great afternoon and really appreciated all the recommendations Elise gave us and we were able to try some of them before we left HCMC. Thanks so much Elise! "

"We had a wonderful time exploring District 1 with Huyền. She gave us a truly local experience, from taking the public bus like locals do, to walking through areas we would never have discovered on our own. Huyền shared interesting bits of history along the way, explained the stories behind the places we visited, and made everything easy to understand and engaging. One highlight was going to the Jade Emperor Pagoda, which was fascinating and something we definitely wouldn’t have experienced without a local guide. She was also very thoughtful in taking nice photos for us throughout the tour, which we really appreciated. The pace was relaxed, the experience felt authentic, and it never felt rushed or touristy."

"We asked Thien to give us a crazy coffee tour - and something that is not for tourists !! She then ditched the normal places and we headed to some that had us crawling up ladders and going into kitchens to see how the coffee is made. Thien is the standout of guides as we saw at least 6 other guides just sitting by with their group - but Thien knows the locals and organises special kitchen tours and orders all the best coffee experiences for you - including the behind the scene tours that you don’t normally see. 5 Stars"

"Thien provides the tour with your own flare - letting you cut short the things you don’t like and then staying longer on others- we also hopped on a quick 5 min bus when traffic and grabs were not available in our area !! Such a great experience. "

"Jecky was incredible. Thoughtful, flexible, and kind. We had exactly the experience we asked for. Jecky’s knowledge of Saigon gave us a great mix of old and new, global and local culture. He was so fun to spend time with, and has a deep love and knowledge of his city and country. A total highlight of our time in Vietnam!"

"Huyen has deep knowledge of local history and shared stories that brought everything to life. I tasted some of the best ca phe sua and a delicious local snack along the way, which made the experience even more memorable. She’s warm, engaging, and I had a lot of fun with her. I would absolutely recommend her."

"What do you think? Our family did a walking tour with Huyen and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and wonderfully talkative, sharing fascinating stories and insights about Ho Chi Minh City, history, food, and local life. She was friendly, engaging with both adults and teens, and happy to answer all our questions. We would highly recommend her — five stars from us!"
