I’m a friendly and easy-going person who loves making people laugh while sharing interesting stories about Vietnamese history, culture, and everyday life. Born in 1999, I’m passionate about history and enjoy turning historical facts into fun, memorable stories rather than giving you a boring textbook lecture.

Victor N.
I am an English speaking tour guide in Saigon who is specialized in Cu Chi Tunnels Trip. I spent 15 years taking tourists to that place every week. I created a historical video which explains the Vietnam War and the tunnels system. I play the video in the vehicle while we are going to the tunnel from the hotel; and the tourists enjoy it very much. Of course, I also do other tours as City tour, Mekong Delta…

I'm thinking about why we travel: some looking for fun; but some looking for something they don't know they need in their life; but our instinct is calling for it. Tripping away your familiar routine, your language, and your comfort zone, you let yourself into uncertainty; some discover more about themselves in that uncertainty. So, what can I do as your tour guide? - to make your trips more comfortable? To provide information? Of course, I can do that. But more than that, I'd like to work more in that "uncertainty".

Ho Chi Minh Tour Reviews
Cecile S.
“Kevin is wonderful!”
This was a very rewarding experience! Kevin’s English skills are exceptional. His pronunciation and clarity is beyond expectations for someone’s second language. His patience and humor over our long passport control experience, then waiting for luggage that did not arrive, added greatly to reduce our own stress on our arrival. Kevin created a fun, interesting, and learning itinerary and we could easily experience everyday life in Saigon. We were not tourists looking out the bus window. For personal reasons, Kevin could not accompany us to Tay Ninh Holy See and Ba Den Mountain, but including that in his itinerary was and enlightening experience. The drive to/from is tedious but well worth it. Cam oh !, Kevin. Mot, Hai Ba, cheers!
