"Xin Chào!" I am Hung from Vietnam. I was born in Mekong River Region and grew up in Dalat City & Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). I am proud of my hometowns of course. First, Mekong River and Delta Region. Such a super green land! Here, we have many kind of tropical fruits inside many gardens, farms, cajuput forests. . . Beside the gardens/farms, we have an amazing river with lots of green narrow water canals. Yep, it is the best place for sampan rowing activities. Second, Dalat is the cool weather round year with the waterfalls, green valleys, flowers farms, coffee and tea farms. . . Best place for relaxing! Last but not least, Ho Chi Minh City - formerly called "Saigon" is a must stop in the South Vietnam. This young and dynamic city has two main areas as the colonial building area and the modern town. About myself, l spent two years studying at the college in Saigon, and another two years abroad. I love travelling so far and visited many countries around the world. I love to learn more about the lifestyle, history, landscape, food and drink. . . then I love to be A LOCAL TOUR GUIDE, as it allows more chance to communicate with international travellers, know more about the world and share my country with all.

We are on a SE Asia Viking cruise. When an excursion filled up with what we wanted to do, I looked for other options hence Tours by Locals. I contacted a guide but he was unable to help me but recommended Hung. He is charming and knowledgeable. We had some issues with our time but Hung was flexible and created a tour for the time we did have. A highlight was going to the 49th floor of the skyscraper-Sky Dock. He convinced us to try coffee even though it was passed our "curfew" for drinking coffee. Yum!

Hung was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and friendly and even helped us figure out an issue with our airbnb. Would definitely recommend and would hire again.

We booked two tours with Hung and he was very gracious, knowlegable and enthusiastic. A 10 out of 10 score. He had a different driver each day and their vehicles were spotless.
