      Unbelievably Good

      "Hieu is the best guide that I have ever had. He goes above and beyond, shows you all of the ins and outs of the city. Stuff that you would never see if you try to explore on your own! He is so nice, funny and personable. He made my mother feel so comfortable and engaged. Will definitely book with him again when I come back. Taco Bell is needed in Saigon!"

      Ho Chi Minh: Off the beaten track

      "Thien offered us a fantastic experience in Quan 6. Her stories, insights, energy, boldness and humour made our day. She went above and beyond to offer us a great experience and help us on our special requests. She is very knowledgeable and has many personal stories to share on life in Ho Chi Minh/Saigon, its history, and differences between the districts. It made the city come more alive to us. She kept eye on the needs of the kids and kept it interesting. We do recommend a tour with Thien, you will not regret it! "

Afterwards we also went to a temple. She took a lot of pictures, which are always nice to have as a souvenir afterwards!! Huyen is a very energetic and warm person.

      Wonderful tour with Huyen!

      "Huyen was a wonderful tour guide, had an amazing attitude, and her knowledge of hcmc is what made our morning tour a great experience for our family of four. Our family includes a ten year old who can get super hot and a grandparent who has arthritis. Huyen took great care of us and anticipated our needs when we needed it the most. This tour was our highlight of our whole trip to Vietnam and we would highly recommend you to book! "

      Beyond expecations

      "I can say with confidence that we are very lucky to have spent time on this trip with Elise. Traveling is a lot of things and the most impressive parts are the areas that make memories last or stand out for a lifetime. Elise is such a gem of a human. Able to have a conversation while effortlessly guiding and suggesting next steps. The entire time seemed as if we were meandering through a city rather than on a tour. As if time was not a constraint but more of a mark to help judge the value spent. In a city filled with motorbikes and endless movement. Elise is a person that makes you feel at home in a world that you are just a tourist pretending to fit in. Truly thank you."

      Fabulous

      "⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic walking tour of Ho Chi Minh City with Huyen. She was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing so much about the city’s history, culture, and daily life in a way that was both interesting and easy to understand. One of the highlights was visiting the local food market, which we absolutely loved. Huyen introduced us to local foods and gave us insights we never would have experienced on our own. She made us feel very welcome and ensured everyone had a wonderful time throughout the tour. We would highly recommend Huyen to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable and memorable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
