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 was great, the food was amazing and our guide Rosie helped us navigate the markets and try local food. This tour was just right with some walking and information sections and then some parts where we could just sit down and chill. 10/10 would recommend and do again

Dear Tania, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a detailed review, and I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience you experienced at the end of the tour. I would like to sincerely apologize for the miscommunication regarding the final drop-off point. This was a mistake on our guide’s part in handling the group logistics, and we’ve already taken steps to improve our coordination and guide training to avoid this in the future. Even though you didn’t complete the tour or have the chance to tip, we still had to cover a $6 fee to Guruwalk from our side for your booking. However, what matters most is that you still appreciated the guide's effort and found him to be a nice person. Your feedback is extremely valuable and helps us grow and do better every day. Thank you again for joining the tour, and I hope to welcome you back to Saigon one day for a more seamless experience. Warm regards, Vera_Đông & Team

When we met Tommy/Trung, he said there was only 4 people booked on the tour! However the other two cancelled!! Tommy/Trung still did the tour for myself and my wife. He did the tour professionally and very friendly and for a young person he had a wealth of knowledge. He was also quite funny and showed us his dance moves along with some singing in English! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him and would recommend him to anyone!

Hi Tony 😊 Thank you so much for the lovely review! I’m so glad you and your wife enjoyed the tour with Tommy/Trung — he’ll be happy to hear your kind words! We truly appreciate your support and recommendation. Wishing you both more great adventures ahead, and hope to welcome you again in Saigon! 🇻🇳 Warm regards, Đông / Vera 🌸
