Great introduction to Saigon. - Hieu’s walking tour was an excellent introduction to the main sights of Saigon. He modified the tour to our needs. He was very knowledgeable and gave us an insight into the history behind each site we visited. Hieu collected us from our hotel, as it was near the original starting point, and gave us clear directions to find our way back. Also very importantly, he gave us some tips on crossing roads in Vietnam. We highly recommend Hieu as a tour guide.

Super nice private tour. - We did a full day tour with Jecky. It was a really nice day. Jecky was very nice and very helpful. He also liked a joke. He really showed us very nice locations that we would never have seen or found without him. I can definitely recommend this tour and if you want to do a full day tour just send an app to your Guide.

Exciting exploration of Saigon - I've been living in Saigon for more than a year already, but rarely think about exploring it. When my friends came to visit Vietnam from abroad, I decided to discover something new and found Thien's tours. She's a wonderful storyteller ready to answer all questions about Saigon - both about history and modern life. I highly recommend her as your guide to the city.

Informative and rewarding. - To see Vietnam in all its beautiful but bonkers glory, see it with a local.. Stories tourists don’t know, paths tourists don’t walk, lives tourists don’t understand await..

Amazing Hochiminh City - Our Ho Chi Minh City tour was an absolute highlight of our trip! We were lucky enough to have Jecky as our guide, and their knowledge, enthusiasm, and friendly personality made the experience truly unforgettable. The tour itself was incredibly well-organized, offering a perfect blend of iconic landmarks like the Notre Dame Cathedral and the War Remnants Museum, alongside hidden gems like the Cu Chi Tunnels. The city's vibrant energy was contagious, and Jecky's insights brought everything to life.

Awesome tour of Saigon - Wow, what an awesome place Saigon is, even more so when you have Thien as your tour guide. Not only do you get the history of the places you visit, but then you get more intimate details that only a local, with connections has. And the stories are not just about the places, but also about Thien’s family connection with those place. Such as her Dad’s part in the storming of the Independence Palace by the tanks of the liberation army tanks. We cannot recommend this tour & Thien more highly.

Great introduction to HCM! - Our group enjoyed the hidden gems tour with Thien. This was our first time in HCM. She brings a unique perspective and offers suggestions based on what we are interested in doing. She is extremely flexible and I know if we needed to change the order of the tour she would done her best to accommodate. We booked her for two trips, this one and CuChi tunnels tour. I highly recommend this tour with Thien.

City Tour of HCMC - My family (wife and 2 teenagers) had a great city tour with Huyen. It felt like touring with a friend - she was flexible and had great insights into each of the locations and kept the kids engaged. Gave us suggestions on local places to eat and visit ourselves as well. Highly recommend.

Diamond of Saigon tour - Had an amazing hidden gems tour with Thien. Thien is super passionate about Saigon and her energy is infectious, lots of laughs. Best tour in Vietnam. Great flexibility too as we had already been to War Remnants Museum so Thien changed tour and we felt we got to see more of the locals side of Saigon. Highly recommend.

Absolutely brilliant. We love Thien! - Thien’s communication in advance of the tour of second to none. She was so helpful with regard to other places we were visiting even before we arrived in Vietnam. When it was time for the tour she was prompt and full of energy and joy and laughter and so much enthusiasm. She showed us all of the highlights teaching us lots of things we didn’t know. She definitely wasn’t a clock watcher either and we got to see some extra areas within Saigon which were absolutely fantastic. Three hour tour? Nope! It was much longer in the very best way. We can’t recommend Thien enough and wish we could do it all again tomorrow! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
