Dong - Tour Guide in Ho Chi Minh City

Hello and Xin Chao! I'm Dong, or you can call me Vera, your expert tour guide in the beating heart of Ho Chi Minh City. In the 18 intensive years since 2005, I have not only experienced the city's dynamic change, but also embraced it. Known for my warm, friendly demeanor, I warmly welcome travelers who want to take an authentic journey through the enchanting corners of Saigon. My roots are deeply connected to Vietnamese culture, I was born in Tien Giang, with a mother from Ninh Binh and a father from the Mekong Delta, and embody the essence of Vietnam's cultural mosaic. Beyond guiding, I am a culinary explorer and bring insider knowledge of Vietnam's diverse and delicious cuisine. Join me on a journey to discover the stories, flavors and wonders of Ho Chi Minh City. Let's create lasting memories together. See you in Saigon! 🌺

This tour is must do if you are new to Ho Chi Minh City. Dong, our guide was knowledgeable and we went to 12 or so different landmarks. The walk is easy and you get enough time to look around at the different places. He was also quite funny and I felt very relaxed with him. I recommend this tour.

Good way to explore district 3 and 10 Most foods i had tried before but good experience to see other areas. Flower market smelt amazing. Beer Street- good to see but best to avoid

Response from Dong
Thank you, Tessa! Glad District 3 and the flower market stood out for you.

Could not have had a better guide than Wan to detail the history, sights and sounds of Saigon. Incredibly knowledgeable, insightful and provided the historical insights and relevance i was hoping for. So rich in detail, it's as if history unfolded real time. Wonderful time, if you have the chance to take the tour with Wan, I highly recommend it!

Response from Dong
Thank you, Daniel! Glad the storytelling made history come alive for you.
