Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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! "
"High energy, so knowledgeable and proud of everything she shows. I can not recomend her enough. Book her for the tunnels. Coffee. Food. All of it was fantastic. She is amazing!"
"Hieu was fantastic - really gave us insight into real Ho Ch Minh, along with tourist sights sprinkled in. We have not stopped thinking about what he showed us!! Great English and a super person. "
"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."
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
"From the second we met Jecky, he was one of the gang. Felt like we knew him forever. Friendly, personable, kind, knowledgeable. I would not hesitate for a second to book another tour with him. He was also solid in communicating before the tour, while planning it. Thanks for a great day. "
"Huyen was a very knowledgeable guide who looked after two over 60s well in extreme heat She kept us informed and entertained with her knowledge and humour"
"We absolutely loved our tour of Saigon with Huyen! I'm half-Vietamese and this was my first time visiting Saigon, where my mother is from. So it was important to me to have a private tour with a really personable and knowledgeable guide to show us around. I love that Withlocals allows you to choose your own guide, rather than being paired randomly with someone. As I was reading through the profiles and reviews, I knew I wanted a tour with Huyen and am so glad I chose her! She was so kind, fun, energetic, and funny! It really felt like we were just hanging out with a friend! She’s very knowledgeable and explained things to us so well about the culture and history of Vietnam. We love learning about history, but there can definitely be difficult things to hear about Vietnam’s history, particularly pertaining to the war. But Huyen presented things in a very factual manner and was careful to check in and ask if we were comfortable with her continuing to speak on certain things or not. I appreciated her always being very considerate throughout the tour, even making sure to find spots where we could sit for a bit or finding shade to stay cooler while she gave us backstory on the places we were visiting. I also appreciated how she worked with us beforehand to customize our tour to our interests and try to see as much as possible with the time we had. We loved our tour - I only wish we had booked a full day because the half-day went quick and it would have been so wonderful to have Huyen show us around even more parts of the city. Would not hesitate to book her again in the future and would highly recommend her!!"
"Thien was very friendly, engaging and a knowledgeable guide. She has so many interesting stories, with information and history about Saigon. She has such passion and it shows. We loved our tour and highly recommend Thien, she is one of the best tiur guides we have had! "
"We had an exceptional tour with Thien, our Withlocals guide in Ho Chi Minh City. She shared personal insights that gave us a deeper understanding of the city, and her excellent storytelling truly brought the history alive. The local bus trip and temple visits were fascinating, and exploring the wholesale market was an eye‑opening experience. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen and enriched by her knowledge. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommended!"
