5.00Nana is the friendliest and most energetic person I’ve met ! She took us to many local hidden gems that I would never been able to find on my own. She also gave me food recommendations after the tour where I had the best meals in Saigon! Cannot recommend enough.
An experience of a lifetime!

5.00We had an amazing time on Nana’s tour. She was so kind and welcoming, and she had the most amazing stories to share. There was never a dull moment with her. I don’t think I can even put into words how much we enjoyed the tour. We came out with a much deeper appreciation for Saigon after experiencing it through her eyes. This tour should definitely not be missed. Such a great experience from start to finish!
Ho Chi Minh City’s hidden gem tour by Nana is the best!

5.00Nana’s tour of hidden gems is certainly the highlight of our trip in Ho Chi Minh City. She introduced us to great places that are not normally posted online. From the history of Saigon, the alleyways, the market, the coffee shops, souvenir tips, and restaurant recommendations from someone who grew up in the city—Nana was very insightful and it made us appreciate the bustling city more. + she was still enthusiastic to give us a tour while using clutches, the dedication is admirable. + free water and made me borrow her umbrella, she is very considerate. Thank you so much for this wonderful tour ❤️
Chinatown with Nana is highly recommended

5.00Nana is absolutely lovely. The tour was amazing, we did it on our first day in Vietnam and it made us love the city. Nana also gives a huge amount of information on the history og Vietnam and she helped us buy fruit from a local market. She really showed us some gems and gave us even more tips for the rest of our trip. I would really recommend booking a tour with her!

5.00Nana’s free walking tour was hands down one of the best experiences we had in Saigon! She is incredibly charismatic, knowledgeable, and always smiling, making the tour both engaging and fun. Her passion for the city and its history shines through in every story she shares, and she made us feel so welcome from the very start. During the tour, we learned so much about the history of Vietnam, wandered through hidden alleyways, and got to try some delicious local food. Nana made everything feel exciting and effortless, like exploring the city with a friend. Beyond the tour itself, she went above and beyond—giving us countless food recommendations, helping us book ferry tickets, and even meeting up with us for dinner the next day! Thanks to her, we felt a much deeper connection to Saigon and its culture. If you’re visiting Saigon, don’t miss this tour! You’ll not only learn a lot but also gain a fantastic friend along the way. We are lucky we found Nana!

5.00This tour was awesome! Nana is such a passionate and interesting tour guide. I enjoyed the mix of history with a tour of the local life in HCMC. I was looking for a walking tour that’s was a bit different (rather than covering the tourist landmarks) and this was excellent. Nana answered all my questions and was just a joy to spend a few hours with. I highly recommend joining one of her tours!
Amazing!

5.00I had the pleasure of joining a walking tour with an absolutely amazing guide Nana in Saigon, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the start, she was warm, energetic, and passionate about showing me the city she loves. The route she designed took us through hidden gems that I would have never discovered on my own, along with fascinating historical stories that added so much depth to the journey. We also had a lovely coffee break where she shared local insights, making the whole experience feel even more personal, with the best coffee! Not only did she guide me through the tour, but she also provided a wealth of recommendations for the rest of my trip across Vietnam. By the end of the tour, I felt like I made a true friend. If you’re looking for an authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience in Saigon, I highly recommend this walking tour. It was more than just a tour—it was a beautiful introduction to the heart of the city, the culture and the people. Thank you so much Nana for an incredible time!
