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!

Mekong Delta is truly a paradise! Located west of Ho Chi Minh City, it spans across a large area dotted with many towns and villages. The delta offers plenty of orchards, fields, plantations and swamplands. It is recognizable as Vietnam's major rice bowl and producer of many fruits and vegetables. One will be enchanted with the numerous colors from the flora and fauna of the region. Life is less stressful here. Modern development in the city has been replaced by floating markets and boats have become the main means of transportation in the delta. We will visit the town of Cai Be, about two hours away from the city. This charming town is famous for local markets with produce of all kinds in different times of the year. There are many small canals around Cai Be which invite us to a simple sampan ride amidst the lush greenery on both sides of the banks. Away from the city, we are entering the lives of the local people; experiencing firsthand how people earn their living. It will be an enjoyable trip
