“Amazing time in Ho Chi Minh with Chau”
Chau took us to see a little of Ho Chi Minh City, drink coffee and do some local shopping. Although we had very little time, we saw great places and had a very pleasant time with Chau. He is very kind and fun. I recommend him 100%.

“Fantastic Tour on Short Notice”
Our cruise made a last-minute change from Hong Kong to Ho Chi Minh City with only a few days' notice. Since none of the cruise line's tours really stood out, I decided to take a city transfer and find a guide on my own—and I’m so glad I did! Instead of a large group tour with 40 strangers moving at someone else’s pace, we had a completely personalized experience, thanks to Chau. Chau was absolutely fantastic. He led us through Ho Chi Minh City’s most fascinating spots, all at our own pace, which was a huge plus since, as an older couple, we sometimes need to take things a bit slower. That said, with Chau’s love for hiking and biking, I have no doubt he could keep up with even the most active travelers! His English is excellent, and there were no language barriers at all—everything was clearly communicated, making the experience even more enjoyable. We also got to experience the local scene, stopping at a cozy coffee shop and having a delicious lunch at an authentic pho restaurant. Despite our limited time in Saigon, Chau made sure we saw and experienced as much as possible. This was truly a memorable day, and I couldn’t recommend Chau’s tour highly enough for anyone looking for a unique, engaging, and flexible way to explore Ho Chi Minh City!

“Such a lovely arrival day with Mr.Chau”
We asked Chau for a customized plan after we experienced his online tour "Floating Temple". As expected, we found he is such a good guy with kind heart and professionalism when we met in person. He gave us all the facilitation on arrival day, including airport transfer and taking us to PCR test center. The private car ride was so comfortable, too. (clean & stylish SUV) Thank you for your time today. Namie Masuda He was a very kind and fun guy. I can trust him very much. Rieko

FLOATING TEMPLE - A MUST -SEE IN SAIGON
Floating temple, literally in Vietnamese ( Mieu Noi) located in the middle of Vam Thuan River, a branch of Saigon River in Go Vap District and is only accessible by boat or by Swimming..:) Built over 300 years ago, the temple is rumored to have been used to bless fishermen with peace and good fortune before they set sail for the sea. But another one has it that a heartbroken husband built it as a memorial and a token of love for his wife after she died. Saigon Local Guide Chau
