Hi, I’m Xuan Nguyen - a passionate local tour guide who started out as a solo guide many years ago. Over time, I’ve been lucky to work in nearly every corner of the tourism world in Vietnam - from operations to leading tours on the ground. These years of experience have taught me one essential thing: a truly memorable journey isn’t just about the places you visit, but about how you experience them.
As much as I love sharing Vietnam with travelers myself, I came to realize that one guide alone can only offer one perspective. But Vietnam is a land of rich diversity - in its people, stories, food, and culture. So I began connecting with other like-minded, passionate independent guides, people with unique styles, stories, and ways of bringing Vietnam to life.
Together, we formed a small collective of guides who share the same core belief: that travelers deserve authentic, meaningful experiences through different lenses and voices. When you book a tour with us, you might meet me, or you might be accompanied by one of my trusted teammates. Each of us brings something different to the journey, but all with the same heart and dedication to making your time in Vietnam unforgettable.
So whether you’re here to see the hidden corners of Hanoi, take in the countryside, explore history, or simply taste your way through Vietnam. We’ve got someone who’s just right for your trip.
I hope to welcome you soon, whether as your personal guide, or through one of my amazing colleagues.
Let’s explore Vietnam in the most memorable way possible.
