"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’s 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 bánh mì I’ve ever tasted — packed with flavor and perfectly balanced.
We 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’s perspective, the day felt both authentic and unforgettable.
If you’re looking for someone who knows the city well and can share both its famous highlights and hidden gems, I can’t recommend Thien enough"

Thien went above and beyond!
"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.
I 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!
My 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.
We visited Book Street, the Post Office, China Town, Saigon Flower markets to name a few. My children really enjoyed the tour because of Thien.
I learnt so many interesting things about Ho Chi Minh City and felt very safe in Thien’s company. She’s a fountain of knowledge and felt like a friend right from the beginning. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will definitely book her again next time. Thanks so much Thien, we won’t 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."

Saigon from a local perspective
"My son and I joined Huyen for an intensive morning of local history, culture, food and traditions.
