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.

This was a fascinating tour of Ho Chi Mihn's beating pulse. It still went ahead with only 3 attendees, so my experience was almost like a private tour. Our guide Dat/Dave was informative, engaging and so friendly. It's brilliant to do early in your stay, to help get your bearings and to also find out other great places of interest through someone who knows! I highly recommend !

Nonostante qualche imprevisto dovuto ai cambi repentini di tour per mancanza di gente e no show, ho passato una piacevole mattinata con la mia guida che ha potuto darmi diverse informazioni e suggerimenti di cosa fare e visitare a Saigon!
