Hello! I'm Bao Ngoc (Nana) - a local Saigonese. I was born and live in Saigon (HCMC), i'm a smilling and happy girl with small eyes. Learning and sharing culture is my hobby, i would like to become your local friend to show how much i love my country and share you a lot of recommendations of cuisine, history and local life when you will be here.
I have been a local guide of street food and culture for many years, i believe that i would bring you enjoy the real local area, history points, where you couldn't find it by yourself.
I will be so so so glad to meet you and let you know that how beauty of my beloved city.
Welcome to Saigon !!!
Nana was really informative and nice. We discovered little alleys that we wouldn’t have visited. She gave us many information about Vietnamese history and she explained us about her life/traditions. She is really kind. She gave us as well advice about places to eat or to visit. I highly recommend her tour.
It was a really great experience and Nana is a lovely person. As a guide myself I really appreciated that she didn’t adjust her content to please foreigners but painted honest and nuanced picture of history and culture of Vietnam. I’ve found it really interesting to hear about communism from a different than tired and often one sided european/US perspective. Nana had an injutry last year and has a bit of difficulty with walking but she was still very professional, skilled and we moved around with no issue. I think the fact she’s still guiding after her accident only shows how she cares about and loves her job and her city. Apart from monumentu and a local museum we had some snacks and drinks and saw couple hidden corners and local communities. We had some delay but a good, authentic walking tour can’t be 100% precisely scheduled and I appreciate Nana had a lot of time for us. At the end we also recieved some great recommendations. I can recommend this tour 100%! Happy new year and all the best to you Nana:)
