“No success without Kevin”
We had the absolute pleasure of working with an Kevin during our recent business trip to Ho Chi Minh City. From the moment we arrived, he went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our visit ran smoothly. His professionalism and deep knowledge of both the language and local business culture made a world of difference. Not only did he provide seamless translation during our meetings, but he also anticipated our needs, coordinated logistics, and took care of countless behind-the-scenes details we didn’t even think of. Whether it was navigating factory visits, arranging transportation, or helping us understand cultural nuances, he handled it all with grace and precision. His calm presence, quick thinking, and exceptional communication skills allowed us to focus on our objectives with total confidence. He was more than an interpreter—he was a true partner on the ground, and we can’t imagine the success of our trip without him. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable, detail-oriented, and professional interpreter in Vietnam.

Thank you, Shelby! It was the biggest pleasure I'd ever received in my entire career to be a part of your business trip in Vietnam. I have learned so much from this interpreter opportunity! Wish you and your team find a true partner to work with in Vietnam. Cheers!

“An Informative AND Fun day in Ho Chi Minh City”
We loved our day with Kevin. We was youthful, fun, and knowledgeable. His English pronunciation and comprehension are excellent. We took us to the out of the way places where we were the only tourists, as well as the well-known sites. While he was intent on sharing with us the realities and horrors of the Vietnam War, he also authentically shared how far the people of Vietnam have come since that time. We would highly recommend Kevin.
Kevin L.
Thank you David! I really appreciate the time spending with your group walking around Saigon to explore the realest local sights and learn the story of the past, presence and future of its culture and lifestyle. Wish you all the best and hope to see you guys again real soon!

“Excellent Tour”
Because of the Lunar New Year, Kevin was not able to provide a tour. He sent a substitute, Huong. She was an excellent tour guide, with more enthusiasm and positivity than any guide I have ever had. Her English was perfect. She even brought board games for us to play over lunch. It was a wonderful day.
Kevin L.
Thank you Erin so much for your great review about Huong! We appreciate your time and would love to see you again in the near future.
