Perfect tour with Huyen - Huyen was so accommodating, adapting the tour to what we wanted to see in our short time in Saigon. She has great local knowledge and stories and is fun to spend time with. We got a real taste of local Saigon and really enjoyed our few hours with her.

Worth the money - Huyền is an exceptional tour guide— approachable, warm, and truly delightful. I’ve booked two tours with her and had no regrets. She made me feel completely at ease throughout the tour and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Her deep knowledge of the city's history and hidden gems added so much value to the experience. Thank you, Huyền, for making my journey unforgettable!😊❤️

Amazing tour of Saigon - Huyen (Wind) was an amazing guide and I am so happy I signed up for a tour. Communication was great throughout the booking process. I did the highlights and hidden gems of Saigon tour. We met at the venerable monk statue and had a great time from there over the next 3 hours. We walked through the neighborhoods, did a national lampoons European vacation style tour of the war remnants museum, and even took a local bus (no talking allowed). I didn’t realize it at the time, but I took a double decker bus tour through the city later that night and found that I already knew so much about the city on the back of my tour with Wind! I highly recommend her and would definitely sign up again.

Great Walking Tour! - We recently had the pleasure of spending 3 hours with Huyen in Ho Chi Minh City. She was friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable. We truly felt at home from the moment we met her. She was willing to adapt our walking tour to meet our needs and interests. Her deep knowledge of Vietnamese history and culture was exceptional. We enjoyed every moment and learnt so much! We highly recommend her as a guide and as great company too!

Ted’s tours are the best! - Taking a walking tour with Ted when we first arrived in Ho Chi Minh City was the best idea! Ted freely shared his expert and local knowledge with us. We appreciated his excellent English, professional and friendly demeanor and his obvious concern for us at all times. We enjoyed the best coffee we tasted in Vietnam at Ted’s recommendation! The whole experience was unforgettable. I highly recommend taking a tour with Ted and would suggest that you do it as early in your trip as possible, to make the most of your stay. Thank you, Ted!

Definitely recommended - Thanks Huyen for giving my wife and I a wonderful insight to your home city of Saigon. Huyen took us "off the beaten track" to show us some hidden treasures as well as the usual must see sights. We even stopped at a lovely local stall for a tasty fruit smoothie. (The pineapple and carrot was very nice!) It was a very warm day and towards the end of the tour we asked for a break so Huyen recommended a local coffee shop she frequents instead of the main chain one's. It was lovely and the coffee was fab. Huyen was very pleasant, passionate and knowledgeable about her home town. Her English was excellent so we understood everything she told us. I would definitely recommend Huyen to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City. Many thanks, Tracy and Dave, Cardiff, Wales.

Highly recommended - Hieu was a wealth of knowledge - 100% recommend this tour. Hieu is a wonderful guide who is incredibly knowledgeable of the history of Vietnam, particularly the significant events through the French invasion and the war with America. The tour takes you to places off the tourist path and deep into the lives of locals. Hieu clearly has built a strong and respectful rapport with the locals as they are all very willing to share their homes and spaces with us. Hieu tailored the tour for us to incorporate vegan food, which was also simply delicious, and what we’ve come to expect from our time in Vietnam! We left feeling a deeper understanding and appreciation for the history and impact on the local community from the wars and occupations during the past 70-80 years, and an admiration and respect for the resilience, toughness, and courage of the Vietnamese people. Thank you Hieu for providing an unforgettable experience during our time in Saigon.
