My family and I had the best tour experience with Huyen. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about her city. She brought us to non touristy spots and learned how locals live day to day. Visited wet markets, wholesale markets, temples, pagodas and food spots. Each step of the way giving us more and more information about HCMC. The funny part was crossing the roads. That was equivalent to playing the real life video game of “frogger”. I asked her how do you just cross the road with on coming traffic and she just responded with “you just do it!!” That cracked me up and scared me at the same time. Nevertheless if you have the opportunity to ever visit this beautiful city, and fortunate enough to book her. Your whole trip will be that much better. Can’t say enough!! We will be back for a longer stay in the near future and will book Huyen again.

Huyền was really welcoming and like a good friend from the beginning. We requested a personalized tour and she fulfilled all our wishes. In addition to getting to know typical local places, she also gave us an insight into Vietnamese culture. We will definitely book Huyền again as a guide as soon as we are back in Vietnam. Thanks again for the great experience.

We did a walking tour with Jecky around District 6. He was very informative and we saw local markets, the big wholesale market and two temples. We travelled there with him on a local bus. It was a very hot and humid day and Jecky thoughtfully planned a couple of drink stops along the way. A good way to see a part of HCMC that is a bit more off the usual tourist track.

Great tour with Hieu. He was very friendly & interesting. He brought us to areas we would never have gone to ourselves. Really enjoyed it

Thank you Thien for an incredibly open, honest, revealing, entertaining and curiosity quenching time. It was by far one of the best times we have had from all our travel experiences (and one of the most human ones!). What an honour for us to have spent so much time exploring your city and understanding it through your eyes and experience.
Anyone wishing to have an immersive travel experience should do this! And do it with Thien.
Her reputation of "The Hip Storyteller" does not begin to describe the real Thien. Book it now - you will not regret a moment of it.
Love you Thien!
Thank you.

Great experience if you want the gritty experience of how the average people live. Toured the market and then temple of the sea goddess. Very packed 3 hours. Lots of info. Huyen is knowledgeable and fun.

Spent a delightful couple of hours on our first day in Ho Chi Minh with Huyen. She took us to the less travelled (for tourists) area to see the sights, sounds and smells accompanied by lots of interesting stories, anecdotes and laughter. What a fun few hours. Would definitely recommend taking time out to do this tour with Huyen. Will give you a different perspective and understanding of the Vietnamese history and way of life.

We had a great experience with that tour. Huyen is a very open, communicative and well prepared person. We loved her after the first second. She tells a lot of details which you won’t get from a „standard“ tour.
Highly recommend to do a tour with her!
Cheers

I arrived in HCMC a day ahead of some friends that I was meeting there and having been 10 years previously wanted a guide to show me some off the beaten track sights. Huyen was a pleasure to hang out with one-on-one. She had lots of energy and interesting facts. We travelled around on public transport, walked a lot and saw some new unexplored areas of the city. We went at our own pace and there was time to stop and take photos, buy a lot of cashew nuts and dried mango and the best banh mi in town! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend booking Huyen, she was fantastic. Thank you!
