More Than a Guide – A Friend in Nha Trang

had the absolute pleasure of having Tieň as my local guide in Nha Trang, and I can honestly say she made my trip unforgettable. From the very beginning, she was incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming. Her deep knowledge of the area, its history, and hidden gems truly enriched the experience. Tieň has a natural gift for connecting with people. She was not only informative but also genuinely kind and thoughtful throughout the tour. Whether it was sharing stories, answering questions, or helping with anything I needed, she always went above and beyond with a smile. If you're visiting Nha Trang and want a guide who is knowledgeable, personable, and truly passionate about her city, I wholeheartedly recommend Tieň. She is a gem, and I feel very lucky to have met her.

My family and I really enjoyed our time with Linh. She personalized the activities for us and was great at communicating. She also showed us some delicious food spots and provided a lot of local knowledge about Nha Trang.

Great experience

Mai came and picked me up at the hotel, she took me on a short tour on her scooter and showed me the nice city of Nha Trang. Then we went for the food adventure. Mai took me to places I would not have found by myself, it was a non-touristic area. The food was excellent and it was plenty of it, she picked the best and most interesting food from the menu. We visited several places and all was a new experience, the three hours went by really fast. Mai is very nice and easy to talk to, speaks very good English. I would really recommend to book a tour with Mai.

Most memorable experience of our vacation

We were lucky enough to come upon this tasting tour with Linh. As Vietnamese-Canadians returning to Vietnam for our first visit in fifty years, we wanted to have an authentic experience. Much of the food we had already tried felt catered for tourists. Until we met Linh. She took us to little out-of-the-way places that served incredible dishes, with each specializing in a very specific dish. Every dish was a winner and we are picky foodies. The food was great but our interactions with Linh are what set the tour apart. She was extremely thoughtful, prepared and flexible. She customized the tour according to our tastes as the tour went along. She intertwined historical information with personal stories of the people who we met with throughout our travels. We learned more in our short time with her over the three days we trekked it alone. She really went above and beyond for us. We could not be more grateful for Linh and the time we had with her.
