Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Thien gave me a good personal experiece and showed me areas in Saigon based on my interrest and wishes. Thien was very open and honest about the history of Saigon."
"Thien was great! We learned so much about the city and the people, the life of the locals in the american apartement, in the flower market and chinatown. She showed us the best sugarcane juice in town. We visited two buddhust temples. It was 3 hours well spent! She was very entertaining and flexible! thank you "
"Jecky’s tour in Ho Chi Minh City was fantastic. We explored local shops and neighbourhoods and savoured a delicious coffee at an 80-year-old coffee brewery. We also enjoyed a wonderful Vietnamese lunch. Jecky is a highly-awarded photographer and he’s friendly, reliable and great at time management. He’s also knowledgeable about food and will introduce you to typical Asian fruits and dishes during the tour. It was a perfect day!"
"We loved our tour with Huyen! She brought us to all the sights we wanted to see and showed us some nice hidden gems. She treated us to some local snacks that we really loved and covered so much of the city with great knowledge, stories and fun! Her energy was amazing, super kind and friendly and ready to take the perfect picture for you! We definitely recommend a tour with Huyen!"
"Thien was incredible, this tour is without doubt the most interesting and insightful tour in the city. She brought us to 3 very different, extremely intetesting coffee houses. We were with her for hours, and were enthralled by her insights, stories, anecdotes and energy. Do yourself a favour and book this tour!"
"Huyen gave us a brilliant morning in Saigon. Prior to our tour she checked in with us and then designed a morning that was perfect for our needs. We wanted to get a feel for Saigon and she filled our tour with insights and visits to lesser known sites that we hadn’t seen on a previous trip and she just generally “got” what we wanted from our time together. A seriously fabulous guide."
"We really loved our tour of district 5 & 6 with Huyen. We saw a side to HCMC we never would have otherwise and it was wonderful learning about aspects of local life that we wouldn't have even thought to ask! We only wish we had done this tour on our first day as it left us feeling a lot more confident to venture into local markets and to try different street foods. Huyen is so kind and patient, we highly recommend her as your guide! "
"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 😊"
