5.00Nana was recommended to us by a friend. We signed up for the Saigon walking city tour as well as the food tour. Before arriving in HCM I didn’t have high expectations because several people I talked to said it was just another big city, boy was I wrong. Thanks to Nana’s knowledge, enthusiasm and love of her city I can honestly say that I love HCM now and want to come back to visit again because of her. We visited the war museum, had a bicycle rickshaw ride, visited the cutest coffee shops, post office and so many more sights. The food tour was incredible. We went to 4 different Michelin star restaurants, one food stall and one coffee shop, each one was special and amazing. The food was incredible and with Nana’s help we knew exactly what to order. Nana even helped me with a tailor shop and stayed with me while I picked out what I wanted and made sure I got back there the next day to pick up my order. She goes above and beyond all expectations. She even helped us with recommendations on other parts of Vietnam we were visiting. Nana is a great ambassador for Saigon. She is A gem worth booking for your next trip to Saigon.

5.00We contacted Nana for a food tour following a recommendation. It was so much more than just the food (which was incredible). Nana was so enthusiastic and knowledgable about her hometown and country, and made the whole experience so enjoyable from start to finish. We visited spots we never would have found without her and we got a sense of the real side of Saigon. She is a very approachable, bubbly and friendly person too and we are just sad because we don’t have more time for her to show us around other places. Thank you Nana! 🌟🌟🌟
Nana is amazing guide!

5.00Nana was such an awesome tour guide for our family!! I found her through Airbnb and while being in HCMC we had several tours with her. Nana was very attentive to my kids (10 and 6yo). Would always ask them if they needed a break or a treat. My daughter was so sad when we had to fly out of HCMC, because she really loved spending time with Nana. She took us to some hidden gems in Saigon, recommended so many other awesome places to visit in the area. Helped me organise boat tour and found the best Mekong delta homestay for us. I will be forever grateful for helping us create so many amazing memories in Vietnam.
Best tour experience in Vietnam

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!
Best walking tour in Saigon!

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!
