About Tour Guide Xuan N.
Hi, I’m Xuan - 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.

“Xuan's kindness made Vietnam even Sweeter”
Booking Xuan is the best decision I made on my Vietnam trip. With limited time to spare in the city and my first time visiting Vietnam, I allowed Xuan to select the itenerary for an entire day, she organized everything from the car to the locations to see and it was a delightful day complete with resounding emotions from taking in Vietnam's rich and sometimes difficult times in history. Her English is very good and clear. This is surely a most beautiful country and Xuan kept it interesting, captivating and it almost felt like the country had personified herself as Xuan explained all the culture and history. We started off at Independence palace, followed by district 5 china town wholesale market, Then a traditional Chinese temple dedicated to an ancient sea goddess, The war remnants museum was moving as it was difficult to see the troubles this wonderful country had witnessed. We then went to an excellent vintage style cafe called Saigon sunrise cafe where I enjoyed the most wonderful coconut milk coffee. Followed by amazingly yum banh mi. Finally visiting the tunnel house in hcmc. All the while the driver was patiently waiting and driving us around place to place, safely and the car too was super comfortable, spacious and clean. The entire day's cost was superbly great value for what I got to experience, and I was made sure to be comfortable through out by my highly considerate guide and the driver gentleman too. Overall, I assure that anyone booking with Xuan for her tour will leave knowledgeable, wise and extremely glad that they picked her to show them around. You've not seen Vietnam until you've been shown it by the kind and knowledgeable Xuan!
