Xin Chào! Warm Welcome to Vietnam! I am Trong ( pronounced as Ton ). I consider myself to be outgoing, humorous and a complete travel enthusiast. I've been working as a licensed Tour Guide in Vietnam for eight years across many cities, and now I deeply love living and working at Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and its nearby areas. My work experience has been mostly in guiding families and medium size groups, because I really like a personalized approach to sharing history, culture and many stories about my homeland. I enjoy getting to have conversations with my visitors and to be able to adapt to their desires and expectations. This is why all of the tours I offer are private. So why choose me? If you travel to Vietnam by PLANE, I will meet you at the airport or your hotel lobby as you request. If you travel to Vietnam by CRUISE: Please double check on your cruise port docking name before you book me. I will meet you at the port gate outside with a sign board with your name on it. Last but not least, my tours are flexible, according to your preferences and interests. I know how to listen and then suggest the most suitable tour for you combined with the sites you want to visit. I will try my best to cater to your wishes and create some extra nice memories for every single tour. With Warm Regards, Trong Licensed Tour Guide for Vietnam. 8+ years of experience. Driver's License. None.
