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.

Jonathan is a great guide. He managed and paced our food tour so we didn't get overstuffed while trying many different types of food. Everything was fun, tasty, and nicely presented, from savory to sweet delights. Local culinary cuisine at its best. Don't miss this one!

Johnson was a brilliant tour guide - extremely knowledgeable, entertaining and kept everyone engaged throughout a hot day of walking! Such a great way to see some key places, it would be great to add some further, less tourist-known spots in HCM too. Thank you for a great day :)

Response from Dong
Thank you so much, Nadya! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great day exploring Saigon with Johnson, even in the heat. Thank you as well for your thoughtful suggestion about adding more off-the-beaten-path spots — we truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in Ho Chi Minh City!
