Thien had been a very good guide, we visited the third district, the 10th and part of Cholon. She had explain me a lot of things and I learned many things about the city, from a diferent point of view. I hardly recommend her if you visit Saigon A lot to discover in Saigon

I felt so fortunate to spend the morning walking around the city with Thien. She was amazing and I felt like I got a much broader perspective of the city with her guidance. She had so much inside perspective. Really appreciated her knowledge and historical perspective of the Vietnam war. What an amazing experience.

Thank you Thien for a fun and informative tour. I really loved visiting and learning about the Architecture and history of Saigon. Thien has a wealth of knowledge about life in Saigon and we enjoyed a delicious Pho and Vietnamese coffee as part of the tour.

We really enjoyed our walking tour with Thien. We loved getting an insider view of HCMC and the local neighborhoods and history of the area. Thien was an excellent guide, with a fascinating family history who was able to tailor the tour to our family’s needs (lots of snacks and air conditioned rest stops for our kids). We highly recommend this tour if you want to get off the main tourist stops and see the real Saigon. Excellent guide and tour!

Taking Thien’s photography tour felt like walking and chatting with a good friend. She has a warm, easygoing style that made the experience both comfortable and inspiring. We explored hidden gems across four different districts, and she shared rich historical context along the way that really brought the city to life. Her passion for storytelling and eye for beautiful, lesser-known spots made the tour unforgettable. I had an amazing time and would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone wanting to see Ho Chi Minh City, commonly known as Saigon to the locals, through a more authentic and artistic lens. A Truly Memorable Tour with Thien

We had a really great day touring the Mekong delta and seeing how the locals live and what their lives entail. Thein was very happy to share her own personal stories and experiences growing up in Saigon. We especially liked visiting the lovely ladies where we made rice paper and chatted by the river. The variety of tuk tuk, small paddle boat and large river barge was also interesting. Thanks Thein and with locals. Personal experience without the crowds

We enjoyed such a great trip to the Mekong with Thien. She was such a wonderful host - bright, vibrant and so entertaining. We felt really looked after the whole trip and the places we visited were authentic and definitely off the regular tourist track. The highlight was visiting the home of two lovely ladies, who showed us how to make sweet rice paper rolls. If you are looking to see a small slice of real Mekong Delta life - this is the trip for you. Thank you ThienFabulous Day with Thien
