About Tour Guide Binh T.
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
