Great to meet you, I'm Binh, and my English name is Ben. My brother Peter and I are founders of our local guide team.

I immediately became fascinated by the city's unique blend of culture, history, and delicious cuisine.

But, I finally decided it was time to bring my custom-tailored experiences to my guests, so I'm starting this local experience.

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.

“3 Generations”

I took my parents back to Vietnam for the first time in over 30 years, along with my own 2 kids for the first time. Kids loved Lee and my parents loved talking to Lee about their old country. He spoke both Vietnamese and English for the kids. Lee was very accommodating, and waited over an hour and a half for us the first day as our plane was late. We ended up taking two tours with Lee over two days...

“Best day ever with Kevin”

We recently had the pleasure of taking a tour in Ho Chi Minh City, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Our guide, Kevin, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire tour enjoyable and engaging. We visited several local spots that gave us an authentic taste of the city. The Vietnamese food we had was delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed trying various local dishes. The tour also took us to some beautiful historical buildings and a vibrant flower market, adding a rich cultural and aesthetic dimension to our experience. Kevin's expertise and warm personality made the tour even more special. He provided insightful information about each location and ensured we had a fantastic time throughout the tour. We loved every moment of this tour and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City. It’s an experience not to be missed! Kevin, you are the best! Best regard Halvor and Family

It is indeed one of the best guiding experience of my whole career with Halvor family! The tour lengthened in 6 hours but I still felt full of energy at the final stop of Ho Thi Ky flower market. This is not just a normal tour, I feel like I am a part of your group, becoming your best local friend in Saigon! I wish you guys all the best and hopefully we will have another meet-up in the near future! Kevin Lam.
