Wonderful guide
I booked my guided tour in the morning for a 10am meet. I was lucky to have Spring as my guide. I was able to personalise to what I wanted to see and do.
Spring is super friendly, knowledgeable, interesting, funny and a great guide.

Amazing tour!
We had a wonderful tour of Ho Chi Minh City with Thien, who was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly adaptable. She gave us great insights into the city’s history and culture while keeping the experience personal and enjoyable. We started with some of the more iconic, touristy sights and then moved on to a local neighborhood where we got a real feel for daily life. One of the highlights was walking through a vibrant food street, where Thien introduced us to some fantastic local dishes. Her warmth and flexibility made the whole experience feel authentic and memorable. Highly recommended!
