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! 🌺

Good free tour.

Response from Dong
Hi Arnau, 😊 Thank you so much for your review — I really appreciate your time and feedback! I'm glad you joined the tour and hope it was a memorable experience for you. Just to clarify, your kind tip of 50,000 VND (around $2 USD) included the 20,000 VND taxi fare to the Secret Bunker, so the remaining tip was about $1.20. I truly appreciate your support, and only mention this because GuruWalk charges guides a $3 fee per guest to maintain our PRO account, which sometimes comes out of our own pocket. The platform suggests a tip of $10–$50 per guest depending on satisfaction, so if there was anything you felt could’ve been improved, I’d be grateful for your thoughts — it really helps us grow and do better each day. 🙏 Thanks again for walking with us, and I hope to welcome you again in the future! Warm regards, Đông/Vera 🌸

Wir waren nur zu zweit, damit war es quasi eine Privattour für uns 😉 Wade hat die Tour super gemacht. Es war informativ und geschichtlich, gleichzeitig aber auch unterhaltsam und lustig. Wir haben den Walk seit genossen und abschließend noch viele Insider Tipps erhalten.

Response from Dong
Liebe Katrin, Vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Ihnen die Tour mit Wade gefallen hat und Sie die Zeit genossen haben. Wir schätzen Ihre freundlichen Worte und Ihre Unterstützung wirklich sehr! Wir wünschen Ihnen weiterhin eine schöne Reise und hoffen, Sie eines Tages wieder in Saigon begrüßen zu dürfen! Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Đông/Vera & Team
