I'm Thanh Hien N., your private tour guide in Ho Chi Minh City

Guide #31700

Good morning Viet Nam !!!!! My name is Hien. I am a freelancer in Sai Gon and I am original from the Mekong Delta. To pursue my dream becoming a tour guide I have studied language major and get the international license in tourism. I also love to travel and I do understand the meaning of guiding in tourism. One time I got a very bad experience with a tour I was taking part, and since then I always do my best to avoid that guests experience negative feelings while on tour. . . when you take a tour, it should be all about pleasure! I have been working as a translator with a local tour company providing tours to Cu Chi Tunnels, including dinner with veterans. I learned a lot from the questions guests were asking, and I normally put these in my tours (interesting facts, real stories, point of view. . . ) I strongly believe that tours related to the Vietnam War are not about killings, winners or losers. It's history, and we are here to learn from the past. I also love to share about the culture and lifestyle of my hometown throughout my experience I was grown up in the Mekong Delta. "When you are in Vietnam do as VietNamese do" I would love to explain to you What? Why ? and How ? to do as we do!!! . After the tour, you will have a lot of wonderful things to "put" in your pockets and bring back home!!! If you are keen on trying new things, I will bring you to try local street food and explore the city by scooter. You are in my "deserving list" to enjoy the best of the best food in my country! "Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer". Just drop me a message and let me know your desire, I ensure you will not regret coming too Vietnam! It will be my pleasure to become part of your journey! Your little buddy in Sai Gon! Hien *Note: Cruise ships pick up: please send me the information of the Cruise as well as your name, and you will see the welcome board with your name the day you come. I’m not a driver. I can arrange private air conditioned car with driver for 2 people and minibus from 3 persons. I also customize tours upon your requests. - International tour guide license. - English Translator - First Aid Training - Tour Leader certificate.

    Booking a private tour with Hien was the best decision we made for our trip. I sent him a detailed itinerary packed with specific markets (Tan Dinh, Binh Tay, Ben Thanh, Ho Thi Ky), cultural sites, and photography spots like The Cafe Apartments. Not only did Hien hit every single requirement perfectly, but he gave us a real, authentic experience of what it is truly like...

    Hien gives the BEST tours. If you are residing this, book immediately and look no further. He understood what our family wanted and was constantly adjusting the tour to meet our interest. Everything from the car, boat, row boat, tuck tuck was waiting for us when we arrived. We wanted an authentic experience and he took us to a village and restaurant that we were the only...

    Thank you so much Ilana! That means the world to me 🙏 I’m so glad I could give your family the authentic day you wanted. Having you add an extra day was the best compliment I could ask for. Hope to guide you and your family again next time you’re in Vietnam! Best, Hien

    Thanks Luke ! I really appreciate that. My goal is always to share the place honestly, like I would with a friend, so it’s wonderful to hear it came across that way. Truly glad you felt welcomed along the way. Hope our paths cross again someday!

    We had a fantastic day touring the Mekong Delta area. Hiên is a great guide who kept us off the regular tourist path and gave us a unique experience. He also helped us make other arrangements during our stay in Vietnam. Highly recommend this tour and guide.
