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!Huyen Made History Come Alive for Us

Huyen is a great guide—very friendly and informative. She showed me an interesting part of the city, including markets and temples, that I would not have seen on my own. I would highly recommend Huyen!Very interesting morning in Districts 5&6

Huyen is passionate about Saigon, and is very proud of her city and the sights. It was great that she wanted to know what your expectations were and then the tour was set to cover all aspects. Would encourage tours with Huyen for the professionalism, was early to show and did not feel that tour was on a clock, she genuinely cared that you enjoyed the tour.Tailor made tour

We are a family of four with two children of 13 and 8 y.o. Huyen run the tour in a way that was interesting for small and big. We had break for fun, we tasted local sweets, we sent postcards to grandparents. At the same time, the tour was very informative and Huyen showed photos and documents from the past to illustrate her narrative. Huyen is cheerful, pleasant and easy going person, very knowledgeable about Saigon and willing to share your knowledge and some tips with tourists. Great and knowledgeable guide

I did two absolutely rewarding trips with Huyen. The first tour was of a part of the city, Quan 6, that a lot of tourists would not typically visit while the Mekong Delta day trip offered an insight into the local way of life. Huyen is a great guide for learning about local life and is fluent in English. She has a very engaging personality and travelling with her was a lot of fun. I would certainly like to do additional trips with her when I return to Vietnam.Mekong Delta and Quan 6 Tours

Many thanks to Huyen for this well organized trip. Our transport van was high class and along the way we gathered some deep insights about vietnamese culture and the Mekong delta. As we arrived a private boat brought us deeper into the swamp where we really got that jungle cruise feeling. By walking, Huyen provided more information about the sourrounding nature and we got to ride a tuktuk with the local farmers and even a canu. At the final stage we could enjoy some of the fish and specialities of the local cuisne aside the river. Finally, on our way back we visited the Pagode and were provided with interesting information about buddhism and its development in vietnam. It was really breathtaking and we could even vitness a monks ceremony. We highly recommend this! Many thanks to Huyen for this very informative and funny trip. She has a great personality and makes sure that all needs are met. And a good pohotgrapher too.Great day trip to the swamp and temple

This was a great way to see HCMC and work out where we wanted to spend more time. Huyen was really proactive before the tour, getting in touch to see how we might want to personalise the tour and give us some useful tips for our stay. We opted for the 5 hour tour, which we thought might be hard for our kids but they loved it and really enjoyed meeting with Huyen. Huyen was very flexible during the tour, and we changed things as and when we decided where we wanted to spend a little more time. She was very knowledgeable and it was great to talk not just about the history of HCMC, but also day to day life, and we got some great recommendations about places to visit, eat, etc. Thanks Huyen for a great day!HCMC walking tour

From A to Z it was really great and Huyen managed to keep the attention of the full group including the youngster of 20yo. We went to some gorgeous places where we barely crossed tourists and we were feeling completely embraced within the local population - highly recommended Simply Amazing

My son and I joined Huyen for an intensive morning of local history, culture, food and traditions. She was an outstanding ambassador for the city and community providing us with the background and cultural norms for each place we visited. We valued her investment in time with us to make our short visit to Saigon memorable and educational Saigon from a local perspective
