What Travelers Are Saying

Maria from Berlin shared:
"The tour was very interesting and full of good tips for your day in Saigon. I highly recommend doing it on the first day of your visit. Vera has lots of experience and shared many useful recommendations for good food, coffee, and places to visit. Thank you!"

Ada from Sydney added:
"Dong is very knowledgeable about the history as well as the culture, food, and places to go. She clearly explained the facts, what to do, and what not to do. Apart from visiting famous venues, we also explored the walking street, the book street, and the café apartment! Dong even showed us video clips to bring events to life. She is so friendly and helpful that I feel like I’ve known her for a long time. I wish I had joined Dong’s tour on my first day in Saigon. Thank you so much, Dong, for an enjoyable day!"

Wendy from Hong Kong wrote:
"I’ve traveled to many places and joined many Free Walking Tours, but this is one of the best ever because Vera truly went above and beyond! Starting the tour at 3 pm was perfect as the route was shaded and easy to walk. What I liked the most was Vera’s insider tips: how to bargain, where to find cheap shopping or food, how to cross the road, and useful Vietnamese phrases. She even sang a song while explaining the Ho Chi Minh statue! After the tour, Vera recommended a local night market and even joined us to ensure we got the best food at the best price. She spent hours extra with us, turning it into a food tour, all for free! She shared personal stories, making us feel like friends. This is truly one of the best tours I’ve ever joined in my life. Thank you so much, Vera!"
