Experience Day trips in the best of
Ho Chi Minh City with Withlocals

"We’ve done quite some Withlocals tours, and - no offense to the other guides - Thien was the best guide we’ve ever had! She is amazing and the tour was great. We didn’t go to the standard tunnels but she brought us to the less known and less touristic part of Cu Chi. One word: amazing!"

"Huyen was an outstanding guide. She was kind, professional, knowledgeable, and made us feel like we were part of her community from the very beginning. She shared fascinating insights about Vietnamese culture, traditions, and values, while also taking a genuine interest in learning about our own cultures and beliefs. Our conversations were meaningful, and she always listened with respect and an open mind. We even discussed sensitive topics such as war. As someone from the United States and with Huyen being from Vietnam, I truly appreciated how she approached these conversations with honesty, empathy, and mutual respect. It made the experience even more memorable and meaningful. I highly recommend Huyen to anyone looking for an authentic and engaging tour. I would absolutely choose another tour with her in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!"

"I booked my tour to CuChi Tunnels with Huyen and it was a great experience. Huyen filled the two hour trip from Saigon with loads of history specific to the site, as well and pointing out little details of surroundings along the way. On the trip back we even got a cafe sua da for refreshment. Huyens smile on her profile paints the perfect picture of her cheerful personality, as well as her kind and thoughtful vibe. I highly recommend booking a tour with her. I will surely be booking her for another fact filled fun tour with her during my next trip to Saigon!! Thanks Huyen!!!"

"Thien was the most amazing tour guide we've ever had for Thailand. Can't thank her enough for taking care of my wife, teenage daughter and me for a long and adventurous day."

"Cảm ơn Huyen và Sống, I had a great day with Huyen and she was able to be friendly and insightful about the history of Saigon and Cu Chi, Huyen was thoughtful and helpful with understanding the intricacies of the history of Saigon. Highly recommend Huyen "

"We have had the most wonderful tour with Jecky. Everything was perfect and meticulous. We are seasoned travellers, and experienced photographers, and Jecky nailed the brief and has also helped in capturing some fabulous images. Honestly just book him, stop looking elsewhere book him now!"

"Had the most wonderful day in the MeKong delta with the best guide: Huyen. She really makes sure the day is special and tailored to your needs. She knows alot and explains everything you see with great enthusiasm and lots of energy. The tour was intimate and magical with lots of respect to the local community and nature and culture. I am very happy that I booked this private tour instead of a more touristy one. It is 100% worth the extra money and I can recommend this to anyone😊"

"A great time was had by our private group of 4 on our trip through the Mekong. Huyen's bubbly friendly personality only added to the day. Our day was focused on Ben Tre with our itinerary as follows: 1. Traditional Brick Kiln Visit via boat on the main river Experience the age-old method of brick-making as local artisans demonstrate how thousands of bricks are crafted entirely by hand. This stop offers a glimpse into a labor-intensive tradition that has supported generations. 2. Coconut Candy Workshop Discover the many uses of the coconut tree at this fascinating workshop. Watch as locals skillfully transform coconut milk into sweet candy and repurpose coconut husks into handmade souvenirs. Learn how this versatile tree plays a vital role in daily life and the local economy. 3. Traditional Mat Weaving Family Meet a local family who has been weaving traditional mats for over 50 years. Observe their expert techniques, passed down through generations, and gain insight into a craft that still thrives in modern times. Lunch & Leisure We enjoyed lunch at a local restaurant. 4. Sampan Boat Ride Through Water Coconut Palms Drift peacefully along narrow canals in a traditional sampan boat. Paddle under a lush canopy of water coconut palms, taking in the tranquility and natural beauty of the Mekong Delta. 5. Ride in a Xe Lam (Local Tuk-Tuk) Hop aboard a Xe Lam, a traditional Vietnamese three-wheeled vehicle, and cruise through the countryside. This fun and authentic ride allows you to soak in the vibrant sounds, sights, and rhythms of suburban Vietnam. There was no pressure or tourist traps. The locals were lovely. Huyen and our driver then took us back to our hotel. Starting at 09:00 and returning around 17:00 as they claimed traffic was minimal but I'll credit it to the skill of our driver. A genuine great day. Don't hesitate!"

"We toured the Mekon Delta with Huyen. She was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Made the whole trip fantastic. And what a journey it was! Absolutely, totally a must see. I can't recommend it (or Huyen) highly enough! The kids, especially, loved it."

"Thien is such an incredible guide!!!!!!! Absolutely book a tour with her if you’re ever in Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon. She has a great grasp of English and she’s an incredible conversationalist. She’ll be able to answer any questions you might have about anything and everything in Vietnam. She’s also very funny and had us laughing throughout the day. We started the tour by adding a breakfast banh mi and cafe for coffee which were both very tasty. We then headed to the tunnels where she offered a very in depth explanation of the history behind the tunnels, she even got a guide to accompany us at the tunnels which accentuated the tour quite a bit. We also added the gun range to close off the tour which was quite invigorating. Thanks for making our trip very memorable, Thien!"
