  • Huyen is awesome!

    What an exhilarating and beautiful morning! Huyen was a terrific guide who was fun to talk to. She took me on the local buses and we walked a lot. I have been very scared crossing the streets in Ho Chi Minh City but with Huyen I felt safe. She answered all of my questions about life in Vietnam, like the health care system. We went to a huge market and she helped me buy a few snacks and coffee. Then we stopped and had banh mi and then to a fascinating temple. She also took some great pictures of me!

  • Definitely off the beaten track

    Jerky our tour guide definitely took us off the beaten track, firstly we took the local bus to Chinatown. From there we walked the streets to be amongst the locals, selling all sorts of wares and to visit a very old temple. Highly recommended

    This is not suitable for everyone, need to navigate a maze market with very narrow path, less than one person width.

  • A great afternoon with a local

    A great way to see Ho Chi Minh City, away from the city centre. Huyền explained the differences between the districts of HCMC and took us on a local bus to district 10. We toured the wholesale market and sights in Chinatown. She was open about many aspects of Vietnamese life and culture. Very informative!
