Experience the best of
Ho Chi Minh City with Withlocals

"Our tour guide was Huyen - an exuberant and funny women who made us feel so welcomed and comfortable right at the start. We were looking for a local to take us to eat some really delicious food in the city and she did just that. She took us on a mostly walking food tour of Ho Chi Minh City. She was very knowledgeable about the different areas of the city and many varieties of Vietnamese food. We ate and drank until our stomachs couldn’t fit any more. There was sticky rice, fried bananas, smoothies, fresh fruit juices, pho, banh mi, black sesame custard, moon cake, and pastries. She continue to offer more like broken rice but we were too full to eat another bite even though we would have loved to try it. We would highly recommend this kind and energetic women to take you around Ho Chi Minh City for an authentic experience of southern Vietnam. Huyen also kept us laughing the whole time. The cost included all the food and transportation. It was a worthwhile experience that you shouldn’t miss. Thank you Huyen!"

"Thien was great! We learned so much about the city and the people, the life of the locals in the american apartement, in the flower market and chinatown. She showed us the best sugarcane juice in town. We visited two buddhust temples. It was 3 hours well spent! She was very entertaining and flexible! thank you "

"What an amazing tour. 10 tastings and lots of history on the walk to places. We ate at some vendors who had been there over 35 years! Places you wouldn't think to go by yourself. Can highly recommend going in a small group or two people. Windy was able to adapt the tour based on how we were feeling. Speaking of Windy, her energy was exceptional. She’s got the spark and you absolutely want her taking your tour. "

"Thien is the best. She is so nice and gave us great facts about the cu chi tunnels as well as her own back story. It's such a great experience to get a different perspective on a country you visit from a local. Highly recommend "

"Jecky’s tour in Ho Chi Minh City was fantastic. We explored local shops and neighbourhoods and savoured a delicious coffee at an 80-year-old coffee brewery. We also enjoyed a wonderful Vietnamese lunch. Jecky is a highly-awarded photographer and he’s friendly, reliable and great at time management. He’s also knowledgeable about food and will introduce you to typical Asian fruits and dishes during the tour. It was a perfect day!"

"Amazing food tour with Elise! She knew great places to take me - delicious food, great variety of specialities, fun atmospheres. I've had a lot of Vietnamese street food over the years, and I appreciated her exposing me to new dishes I wouldn't have tried on my own. Elise is also a great and knowledgeable cook who could answer all my food questions!"

"Thien is really an amazing guide! She has an incredible energy, she has so much knowledge about Vietnam history and culture and we loved her honesty, her perspective, her kindness and her jokes. She entertained us for the trip to the Mekong Delta but also let us take a nap and her driver was amazing! We especially loved the kindness and respect that she had with the locals and her commitment to have all parties involved in the conversation by translating for us and for the locals. We love that she always brought us to less touristy places and she is personally committed to find the best and unique experiences for the tourists while supporting the local community. We strongly recommend doing any tour with Thien, especially the Mekong Delta that was a super highlight for us!"

"Thien is really an amazing guide! She has an incredible energy, she has so much knowledge about Vietnam history and culture and we loved her honesty, her perspective, her kindness and her jokes. She entertained us for the trip to the CuChi tunnels but also let us take a nap and her driver was amazing! We loved the fact that she took so much care to protect us in the tunnels and make us feel safe while explaining the history to us. We loved the relationship she has established with the locals and the kindness and respect she gets in return. Really recommend doing any tour with Thien! "

"We loved our tour with Huyen! She brought us to all the sights we wanted to see and showed us some nice hidden gems. She treated us to some local snacks that we really loved and covered so much of the city with great knowledge, stories and fun! Her energy was amazing, super kind and friendly and ready to take the perfect picture for you! We definitely recommend a tour with Huyen!"

"Thien was incredible, this tour is without doubt the most interesting and insightful tour in the city. She brought us to 3 very different, extremely intetesting coffee houses. We were with her for hours, and were enthralled by her insights, stories, anecdotes and energy. Do yourself a favour and book this tour!"
