Experience Off the beaten track tours in the best of
Ho Chi Minh City with Withlocals

"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! "

"My sister, mom and I had a very nice tour experience with Huyen! We went to a very local market - somewhere we would have never gone ourselves - and got a lot of interesting info! 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. I would really recommend this tour!!"

"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! "

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"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!"

"The tour was basically just wandering around a neighborhood with Hieu, stopping here and there to discuss history or try something. Simple. Was fascinating. Hieu kept it interesting, listened to our questions and was guided by our conversations. We saw different parts of a community, an old coffee shop, flower market, a park and a Cambodian food market. Would go as late as you can in the afternoon to avoid the heat! 100% recommend "

"I have been on walking tours twice with Thien now. She is great company, reliable and takes care of you. Couldn’t ask for a better guide in Saigon. Thanks!"

"We really loved our tour of district 5 & 6 with Huyen. We saw a side to HCMC we never would have otherwise and it was wonderful learning about aspects of local life that we wouldn't have even thought to ask! We only wish we had done this tour on our first day as it left us feeling a lot more confident to venture into local markets and to try different street foods. Huyen is so kind and patient, we highly recommend her as your guide! "

"We had a free day in HCM city, and had already done all the normal traditional tourist things. So we booked a tour of the districts, back streets, markets etc with Hieu. He was very knowledgeable and friendly, and spoke excellent English. We got a good background to Districtv10, and wandered through at a leisurely pace. We also went to the local markets, but didnt eat any toads. Highly recommended as a bit of an off the beaten track tour."
