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".

It's great to meet you, I'm Binh I founded a local guide team with well-trained, knowledgeable, passionate co-hosts Emmie, Hani, Lily, Urri, Den, Bob, Daniel, and others I first discovered Saigon while studying at University after leaving our hometown in rural Vietnam. I immediately became fascinated by the city's unique blend of culture, history, and delicious cuisine. My education focused on tourism. I finally decided it was time to bring my custom-tailored experiences to my guests. Our interest is that we like to show people around our city and share our perspectives and stories. We know the hidden gems and have a very deep passion and love for our city, which we like to share. Great experiences for our guests are never accomplished by one person but by a team. Thanks for our team’s dedication to providing exceptional hospitality. We are looking forward to connecting with you more!! Best regards, Ben

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…

Hieu A.
I'm Hieu! I've been guiding in Ho Chi Minh City since 2018. I grew up eating on these streets, and I still do, every day. My tours are small. Never more than six guests. That means we can sit on tiny plastic stools at stalls where big groups can't fit, and you can ask me anything. What I run: - Street food walks through local alleys - Early morning walks with breakfast, Vietnamese coffee and a real market - A fully vegan food walk, 8 to 10 plant-based dishes - Evening tours mixing street food and hidden cocktail bars - City highlights plus the back streets most visitors miss - Day trips to the Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels, and a home cooking class Over the years I've hosted thousands of travelers and collected more than 2,700 five-star reviews across different platforms. I speak English and Vietnamese. Tell me what you like to eat, what you want to avoid, and how much walking you're up for. I'll shape the day around you. See you in Saigon!

I highly recommend Nana as a local tour guide! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the city's rich history and showed us amazing hidden spots we definitely would have missed on our own. Nana is super flexible and will customize the tour to fit exactly what you want, making sure you are completely taken care of throughout the day. Thank you so much, Nana, for taking such great care of us. It was a truly wonderful day trip!

“Great day out in Ho Chi Minh City”
Our total experience with Kevin was fantastic. Communications ahead of our day trip was excellent, Kevin helped us locate luggage storage at the airport, he arrived ahead of time and was very flexible to suit our travel times. During the day his local knowledge was first class and his stories really helped us to understand the culture and background to the city he grew up in. We had a great experience and highly recommend Kevin as a tour guide for Ho Chi Minh City / Saigon.

“Best guide in HCMC - a gentleman and knowledgeable ”
I travelled with my wife (a wheelchair user) and my 12 yo daughter. In the week prior to arriving Kevin sent and adjusted the itinerary to ensure it was to our personal preference and all aspects were accessible. No amount of effort was too much. We met for a food tour on night 1 (4 hours). Kevin knew all the side streets and best vendors. He explained the culture, detailed the cuisine and kept us thoroughly entertained. He escorted us to and from the hotel and to be honest, within a few minutes of being in his company we knew we had made a great choice. Day 2 cu chi tunnels Kevin collected us in an air. Conditioned minivan. On the journey we chatted bout the tunnels and the history of Vietnam, again he had great knowledge and insight. We ate in a beautiful lunch venue (included) before visiting the war museum in city centre and a lovely walking tour, again personalised to ensure my wife could manage the route. He actually adjusted the walk midway through as the weather was so nice, so we all walked back to hotel in sunshine. This added extra time but Kevin refused to take extra money. Day 3 Mekong delta Again collected in minivan for long journey to Delta. Stops includes a tour of a silk factory and an opportunity to buy top quality clothes at very. Heap prices. While at the Mekong we visited several island, learning about the history and sampling local produce and given private tours of seceral area include coconut sweet factory!!! We got to hold a hive of domesticated bees that were making honey, also had a snake wrapped around us !!! Lunch was beautiful on banks of the Mekong. Followed by private boat trip on river. We also had opportunities to feed crocodiles and catfish. I CANNOT express enough how amazing the whole experience was and how thankful we are to Kevin. I would have happily paid double for these tours!! If you are visiting HCMC contact Kevin in advance to see what he has available ! My daughter still asks after him each morning !!

Thank you, Steve! You and Dee and Amy are all kind and patient and flexible with me at every situation. I couldn't be thankful enough to spend those 3 days with your lovely family and please let me know next time you come back, I will definitely bring you more beers LOL. Cheers!
