Overview

Although the city is chaotic with endless slow-moving traffic, the hustle and bustle of the city do not affect the unique friendliness of the people. An easy greeting of hello in Vietnamese, "Xin Chao", is sufficient to taste the local hospitality. Forget about shopping and must-see attractions for a while. Let me show you the real Saigon. - The tour is private and flexible so there are only you and your family on tour. - Our tour mostly focuses on understanding locals' way of life, culture, history and cuisine so we will visit different aspects of the city (local wet market, CIA building, stilt house areas and the likes). - There are no shopping and tourist traps during the tour. - All guides are licensed, knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic.

Fantastic Vietnam experience

Published on Jan, 2025

The two tours with Xuan, one to HCM and the other to Hoi An/Da Nang were one of the highlights of our cruise to Vietnam and Thailand. Xuan picked us up (small groups from the cruise port) and proceeded to show us the very best that Vietnam has to offer. Way too many places to list here. We packed so much in, including museums, temples, beaches, markets, trishaw ride, shopping, lunches/coffees yet it never felt hurried. He knew all the most interesting places for us to see, timed the itinerary to perfection (including hitting the light at the right time at the marble mountains - you'll know what I mean when you go) - the best places for lunch and the famous Vietnamese coffee. His English is exemplary and his knowledge and love for Vietnam really shone through. I was blown away with the attention to detail and his dedication (he even took a flight to meet us at the port in Chan May). Thank you Xuan for making it a holiday to remember.

Book early for one of the best tour guide in Vietnam

Published on Dec, 2024

One of the best tour guides we have ever had. A well thought out itinerary which gives you a taste of local life as well as the tourist destinations. The booking process was very easy and was direct with Xuan where any questions are very quickly responded to and was a pleasure to deal with him. Highly recommended

Great Day from Phu My with Xuan

Published on Nov, 2024

We arrived by cruiseship and were met at the port gate by Xuan. Another couple was supposed to be with us, but they didn't show up. We were led to a very comfortable mini van for just the 2 of us. Xuan had a tour set up for us with flexibility for what we wanted to do. Traffic was horrible getting into the city, but the rest went very well. Xuan knows his city and is very informatable. Very nice young man who knows how to run a tour and keep to schedule. We very much enjoyed our day and highly recommend him. Thank-you Xuan, Tim and Suzanne

Wonderful trip to Ho Chi Minh

Published on Nov, 2024

A very interesting and diverse trip that offered 8 us a bit of everything. Great fun on the rickshaw ride. Enjoyed our authentic meal greatly. War museum visit was heart wrenching but a worthy visit. We had fun at the markets too - the ladies very nearly selling 4 husbands!! Felt we really got the best of our time in Ho Chi Minh and we learnt lots. Tammy our tour guide was truly excellent, engaging and knowledgable. We just loved her. Every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our day and got a lot out of it. would recommend taking a look at the itinerary. It’s well put together. Communication with Xuan was excellent and encouraging. He was on another trip that day but luckily we got the chance to meet him too. Xuan is very concerned to make sure he gets everything right for you and this time he certainly did

The best tour ever!!

Published on Nov, 2024

We had such an excellent day with Xuan. It was a last-minute schedule change on our cruise, and Xuan was able to accommodate us for a wonderful tour. Took us to a local coffee boat to try some excellent coffee, and our whole group had such a blast on the trishaw ride around the city!! Thank you again, Xuan, for such a great time!!
