Great to meet you, I'm Ben.
I'm the founder of a locally run tour company based in Saigon, where I lead a team of well-trained, passionate local guides. Since 2019, we’ve been offering unique, authentic experiences that take guests beyond the usual tourist paths.
After moving from my rural hometown to study tourism for four years, I’ve spent over six years guiding visitors and discovering the heart and soul of this vibrant city. Saigon has become more than just my home—it's a place I love deeply and know intimately.
Together with my team, we share the hidden gems, rich flavors, and untold stories of Saigon—from a true local perspective. What drives us is simple: we love our city, and we love showing people around, sharing the real Saigon through our eyes and experiences.
Contact my whatsapp number: + 84 363 533 270 for any additional questions.
We are looking forward to going on the tour with you.
