Ciao! Sono Bao Ngoc (Nana), una Saigonese del posto. Sono nata e vivo a Saigon (HCMC), sono una ragazza sorridente e felice con occhi piccoli. Imparare e condividere la cultura è il mio hobby, vorrei diventare la tua amica del posto per mostrarti quanto amo il mio paese e condividere con te un sacco di consigli su cucina, storia e vita locale quando sarai qui. Sono una guida locale di cibo di strada e cultura da molti anni, credo che ti porterei a goderti la vera area locale, i punti storici, dove non potresti trovarli da solo. Sarò così così così felice di incontrarti e farti sapere quanto è bella la mia amata città. Benvenuti a Saigon!!!
Nana was really informative and nice. We discovered little alleys that we wouldn’t have visited. She gave us many information about Vietnamese history and she explained us about her life/traditions. She is really kind. She gave us as well advice about places to eat or to visit. I highly recommend her tour.
It was a really great experience and Nana is a lovely person. As a guide myself I really appreciated that she didn’t adjust her content to please foreigners but painted honest and nuanced picture of history and culture of Vietnam. I’ve found it really interesting to hear about communism from a different than tired and often one sided european/US perspective. Nana had an injutry last year and has a bit of difficulty with walking but she was still very professional, skilled and we moved around with no issue. I think the fact she’s still guiding after her accident only shows how she cares about and loves her job and her city. Apart from monumentu and a local museum we had some snacks and drinks and saw couple hidden corners and local communities. We had some delay but a good, authentic walking tour can’t be 100% precisely scheduled and I appreciate Nana had a lot of time for us. At the end we also recieved some great recommendations. I can recommend this tour 100%! Happy new year and all the best to you Nana:)
Best guide in Saigon! Interesting view on the heart of the city. 5star+. History + interesting places.
