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

Commonly known as "Saigon", Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam; a home to more than 14 million people and 10 million scooters! Although Hanoi in the north is the capital city, Ho Chi Minh City in the south functions as the main economic and financial hub of Vietnam. The city has since risen from the devastation of the war period. We can still see well-preserved colonial buildings and war relics in the city. On the other hand, high rise and modern buildings are making their presence felt. Although the city is chaotic with endless slow-moving traffic, the hustle and bustle of the city do not affect the unique friendliness of the people. An easy greeting of hello in Vietnamese, "Xin Chao" is sufficient to taste the local hospitality. Forget about shopping and must-see-attractions for a while. Let me show you the real Saigon.
