Experience Off the Beaten Track in Ho Chi Minh City with Withlocals

"Huyen was wonderful. We can’t thank her enough for showing us around. We were a group of three . We had grandma , mum and daughter. The little girl in our group was only 4 years old so quickly ran out of walking legs. 😀 Huyen adjusted our program so we could catch a bus to the Temple instead of walking there . So thoughtful of her . She was full of information about Vietnam and showed us things we wouldn’t have seen on our own. We had a great morning . Thank you Huyen so much . We will definitely book another tour with Huyen next time we are in Ho Chi Mihn city . "

"Jecky was super flexible and creative working with our time constraints and created a great tour for us. What a great way to see the city!"

"We had an entertaining tour full of information. We took the bus to Chinatown together and visited a few touristy places, but also very quiet spots without many tourists. Thien was able to answer all our questions and had additional stories to tell on many topics. Her perfect English and clear pronunciation were great, so we were able to understand everything easily. Although we met friends of hers, we weren't asked to buy anything or give a tip anywhere. Her cheerful manner also made the tour a great experience for the children. We give our full recommendation."

"Hieu was very knowledgeable and passionate throughout our tour. He adjusted the tour to meet our needs and preferences to maximise our experience. We enjoyed exploring District 6 including wet and flower markets and experiencing some great food (Bahn cuon) and different Vietnamese coffees. All in all a great experience."

"Huyen was fantastic. She was friendly in her messages and was able to accommodate us, with a very last minute change. She was an absolute joy on the trip, not only did we get to experience a side of Ho Chi Minh that we would never have known but she also filled the tour with history, etiquette and stories that made the trip so much more than what it said we were receiving. We would strongly recommend that you book with her as it made our day something rather special and incredible."

"Jecky showed us many interesting streets, pagodas and temples and we enjoyed very much. Can definitely recommend him."

"We had a great tour and experience with Hieu. He is very knowledgeable, his English is perfect, he was just terrific. Highly recommend this tour and Hieu! "

"Huyen was extremely nice and very funny. She made us laugh and laugh the entire time and was very knowledgeable about everything. She even taught us some proper Vietnamese etiquette for public transit and even helped us be less accidentally offensive with our attempts at speaking Vietnamese. I would take a tour with her anywhere no matter what the place is."

"Great tour and she helped us negotiate pricing at the market! Loved every minute of it! "

"We had a fantastic tour with Hieu. His English is very easy to understand, and he was truly a great storyteller. We gained insight into different areas and history and got to experience a lot of local culture as well. He is kind, friendly, and very attentive. Unfortunately, two members of our family had suffered from food poisoning in the days prior, and Hieu was incredibly considerate and accommodating. This tour opened our eyes to all that Vietnam has to offer beyond the usual tourist spots—things we would never have discovered on our own. We highly recommend Hieu to anyone considering a guide in Ho Chi Minh City. We will definitely call him again next time we’re here! "
