We were truly blessed to have Huyen as our guide in Ho Chi Minh City! From the very start, she greeted us with the cutest local doll, such a thoughtful and personal touch that set the tone for an incredible day.
Her vast knowledge of history and expertise at the Cu Chi Tunnels made the experience unforgettable. She explained everything with passion and clarity, helping us truly appreciate the significance of what we were seeing. Exploring the tunnels was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and Huyen made us feel like family throughout.
The tour was seamless and comfortable, with a private shuttle and a very professional driver who made traveling stress-free. After the tunnels, we had some fun at the shooting range, adding excitement to the day.
Huyen went above and beyond by suggesting excellent local restaurants and even helping us with a laundry service, which was a lifesaver after a week of traveling. Her friendliness, warmth, and fascinating stories made her not just a guide, but a highlight of our trip.
Thank you, Huyen, for making our family’s time in Ho Chi Minh City so memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!

Absolutely brilliant, a must do with Thien
We were lucky enough to book the Mekong Delta day trip with Thien and had the most amazing experience imaginable. Every aspect of the day exceeded our expectations.
The itinerary is so thoughtfully designed, offering intimate and authentic encounters with local people. Our driver was excellent, and my wife, our 7-year-old son, and I felt completely safe and cared for throughout.
Highlights included visiting a traditional river clay brick workshop — a sadly fading craft but fascinating insight into working life on the Mekong — coconut candy and rice wine tasting, live music, boat rides big and small, and watching the most wonderful women making rice paper rolls and weaving mats. Each stop provided a beautiful glimpse into village life.
What truly set the day apart, though, was Thien herself. Her rapport with the local people is extraordinary, and it’s clear how highly they regard her. That warmth extends to her guests, and nothing feels gimmicky, touristy, or mass-produced, even when visiting more popular spots. Instead, every moment feels genuine because of the connections she’s built.
Thien is bright, insightful, witty, and simply a joy to spend time with. We’ve booked “With Locals” tours in several countries across Europe and Asia, and this day with Thien was by far the best experience we’ve ever had.
Highly recommended — you will not be disappointed.

Great time with Toan
We had a lot of fun with Toan. It felt like hanging out and exploring the outskirts of Hanoi with an old friend. He was full of information and great discussion. Our time together will be a lasting memory and one I reflect on fondly😊
