Explore the picturesque scenery of Ben Tre in Mekong Delta
Joined 2022
We will visit the town of Ben Tre, about two hours away from the city. Known as the "Kingdom of Coconut", Ben Tre is one of the best places to explore the untouched and natural landscapes of Mekong Delta, Vietnam: its beautiful water coconut canals combined with traditional activities and lush gardens. Relax on a local rowing boat as we drift serenely through several green canals beneath high-rising water coconut trees. Doubtlessly, it is truly a picture of paradise.

About Tour Guide Xuan L.
Hello,
My name is Xuan. Currently, I have been working as professional tour guide in Ho Chi Minh city since 2012. I am quite extrovert, kind, and enthusiasm. I am happy to meet new people and share them more stories, traditional practices as local ways of life of where I am living. My tours mostly focus on off the beaten track in HCMC and the surrounding areas that tourists couldn't visit by themselves.

“Kept us on the MOVE”
Xuan keeps you on the move to get as much sites, and culture from HCMC as possible. My only regret is we did not have him for longer. He kept us moving and gave us great insights on local areas and culture.

“A wonderfull day in Ho Chi Minh City”
Xuan's experience in being a guide is obvious. He knows his city, the history and really cool places that only the "in crowd" would know of. He took us to a coffee boat, where we had drank smoothies while relaxing in the very old boat overlooking the river. It was a great day and I highly recommend Xuan as a tour guide

The highlight of Ho Chi Minh City, experience real Saigon
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.
Evening Walking Tour And Local Food Tasting
Are you ready to take a walk with me around Ho Chi Minh City in the evening or daytime? The city has a different look and feel when you venture out on foot in the evening. We will visit a few landmarks like the Reunification Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, General Post Office, Opera House, City Hall, a local market, walking streets and delicious local food will be served during the tour.
Private Cu Chi Tunnels Tour
Cu Chi Tunnels are part of a massive and elaborate tunnel systems used during the Vietnam War. This place offers a reliable stronghold for Viet Cong soldiers during the wars against the French and mostly the Americans. It comprises more than 200km of underground tunnels with booby traps and trapdoors, living areas, kitchens, storage facilities, hospitals, and command centers.
