Xin Chào! My name is Xuan. It is pronounced as "soon". It means springtime when all things are fresh and alive. I grew up in the beautiful and majestic Mekong Delta, about 2,5 hours by car from Ho Chi Minh City. As a child I was captivated by the delta's long rivers with its lively floating markets. There are many rice paddies and fruits orchards in the various parts of the Mekong Delta. I enjoyed exploring these interesting places. So, I grew up loving this region and always wanted to show this beautiful part of Vietnam to tourists. I studied tourism in Can Tho University and graduated in 2012. After graduation I moved to Ho Chi Minh City and became a freelance tour guide. It was a dream come true. I love travelling, meeting new people, and exploring new cultures. I have been to several countries in Europe, Asia and Oceania. My travels abroad have re-enforced my desire to be a capable and responsible tour guide. To see the world is to live life to the fullest. I hope you have the same travelling passion as I have. Please visit my beautiful homeland Vietnam. I specialize in tours around Ho Chi Minh City and Mekong Delta. I will tell you the history of my country. I will show you the culture of my people and the flora and fauna of the land. I will introduce to you the local cuisine. You will definitely leave Vietnam with a fulfilled-sense of wonder and happiness. It will be unforgettable experience! I look forward to meeting you in Vietnam!

Overview of your Ho Chi Minh City tour

Come and join me in this exciting 2.5-day tour! Explore the vast and ever-busy Ho Chi Minh City, the largest city in Vietnam. Commonly known as "Saigon", this city has since risen from the devastation of war to a fast growing city. We can still see well-preserved colonial buildings and war relics in the city. The second day will be spent at Cu Chi Tunnels which were used during the war. The tunnels are part of an elaborate tunnel system which provided an interesting underground life by the Viet Cong soldiers. Visit the charming town of Ben Tre in Mekong Delta, famous for its picturesque canals and rivers. The delta offers plenty of orchards, fields, plantations and swamplands. This is an interesting tour combining history, culture, and nature! Join me and get to know Vietnam in person, I look forward to revealing to you much more than what you know and what you expect with a great desire for you to keep this experience in your fond and long memory
