Chào(Hello)! I am Toàn, you can call me Fully. Saigon(Ho Chi Minh City) is my hometown, it's also the motorbike city with millions of bikes. I am a professional tour guide who love sharing full stories about the Vietnamese cuisine, history and culture. I have made this unique experience in order to let our foreign friends hang out with the local Saigonese on an adventure with motorbikes to experience the authentic Street Foods of the city. I have been doing motorbike tours for many years and have trained for many energetic university students who have the same passion like me to become my co-hosts. They are well-trained, fluent in English and excellent licensed drivers. Đi thôi(Let's go)! Let's put on the helmet, get on the motorbike and go with the flow! Thank you so much for your interest and see you soon!

Commonly known as "Saigon", Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam; a home to more than 10 million people and 8 million scooters! We can still see well-preserved colonial buildings and war relics in the city. On the other hand, high rise and modern buildings are making their presence felt. Although the city is chaotic with endless slow-moving traffic, the hustle and bustle of the city do not affect the unique friendliness of the people.

I ordered the food tour as the first thing to do in the city after landing and Den was very friendly and also customized the tour according to my interests. Food tour was a nice way to star my Saigon journey as food always gives a lot of topics to discuss about city, people, culture and history. But one thing is for sure - go hungry!

“ Lee made our trip! ”
My son and I met Lee for a private tour of the city. He is very accommodating as far as our start time and flexibility as to where and what you want to see. His English is flawless and his sense of humor made us laugh throughout the day. We found we became fast friends. He found a catholic orphanage I was looking for and took us there. The eco village is a highlight as the locals go there to get away from the city. We were so impressed with Lee we hired him privately for 2 more days. You won't regret having Lee as your private guide. I think you will enjoy the sights more with him. He is very knowledgeable about Saigon and his love of his country shines through! Thank you for making our trip that much more memorable by sharing your history and knowledge of Vietnam in a fun and joyous way!
