Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Took a 5 hour tour of Ho Chi Minh with Huyen. I had given her a few sights I was interested in seeing and then she filled in the rest of the time. She was on time, professional, good English, and full of history. Huyen was amazing! She was a pleasure to spend the day with! "
"What a special afternoon spent with Huyen, exploring Districts 5 and 6! We walked through neighborhoods and markets where the locals live and shop. Huyen was hugely enthusiastic and entertaining while she imparted so much information on Saigon\u2019s history, culture and economy. We were never bored. We visited the Ba Thien Hau Temple and, once again, Huyen was informative and entertaining while she walked us through the temple. It wasn\u2019t crowded and it was truly a special experience. When we were done, Huyen used her app to get us a taxi directly back to our hotel. We would recommend this tour for anyone who wants to really get off the beaten trail. And we would definitely book Huyen again. She was fabulous."
"Huyen was not only personable and lovely she was also super knowledgeable and hilariously funny. A great combination in a tour guide."
"We had a fantastic sightseeing tour with Thien, 4 hours private tour on foot through Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon. We saw many historical places and hidden gems, we would not ever had found ourselves. Thien gave us a great introduction to Vietnamese traditions and culture but especially deep insights about the history of the country. Thien is a great story teller. We highly recommend \"Highlights & Hidden Gems of Ho Chi Minh City\" with Thien \u2764\uFE0F\uD83D\uDE00. Best, Tine & Carsten"

"We had the pleasure of spending a few hours with Hieu. He is extremely open and easy to talk to. We had some great conversations and he was full of knowledge. We would highly recommend booking a tour with him\u2026 you won\u2019t regret it! "
"We had a great 3 hr walking tour with Huyen today. What a delightful person to spend the morning with. She showed us many aspects of the city and really listened to our brief of what we wanted to see. Don\u2019t hesitate book a walking tour with Huyen"
"I spent the day exploring central Ho Chi Minh City with Thien, and it was truly a wonderful experience. We wandered through a few of the city\u2019s key markets, soaking up the vibrant energy, the colors, and the constant buzz of daily life. Thien guided me to Chinatown, where I had what I can only describe as the best b\u00E1nh m\u00EC I\u2019ve ever tasted \u2014 packed with flavor and perfectly balanced.\n\nWe also visited the oldest coffee shop in Saigon, a place steeped in history and charm, where the coffee was as rich as the atmosphere. Between the food, the markets, and the chance to experience the city through a local\u2019s perspective, the day felt both authentic and unforgettable.\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for someone who knows the city well and can share both its famous highlights and hidden gems, I can\u2019t recommend Thien enough"
"We had the most wonderful morning with Thien. I would whole heartedly recommend her to be your tour guide. I was a mother travelling on my own with my 10 and 7 year old. My children were very jet lagged and hot. Thien was a diamond from the start, she got them interested in the tour and made them laugh. \nI asked for Thien to take us to some must see spots along with trying local Vietnamese food. Her mother was a chef, so she had some wonderful places to take us. She also gave us recommendations for later in the evening. The best Pho in HCM!\nMy son is autistic and a very fussy eater, she was able to get him to try new things and even dropped him his favourite bao buns to the hotel. Such a kind soul. \nWe visited Book Street, the Post Office, China Town, Saigon Flower markets to name a few. My children really enjoyed the tour because of Thien. \nI learnt so many interesting things about Ho Chi Minh City and felt very safe in Thien\u2019s company. She\u2019s a fountain of knowledge and felt like a friend right from the beginning. I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to recommend her and will definitely book her again next time. Thanks so much Thien, we won\u2019t forget you and your kindness. "
"We has a wonderful time with Elise, she was so flexible with things forever changing with our kids. Nothing was too hard and she was so happy to go with the flow and our needs, changing the itinerary as we went. She was very knowledgeable and had great food recommendations as well. I would definitely recommend a tour with her."
"We had an amazing excellent tour with Huyen, she was very careful and kind and always making sure we were comfortable. During our walking tour with our daughter the pace was ideal and lots of interesting facts and infos were provided. The market and temple were definitely worth seeing ! Thanks a lot Karsten"
