Xin Chào! Hello, my fellow travelers and citizens of the world, My name is Nhu (pronounced as "New"). I am a true Saigonese, and I would love to meet you in person, show you around my home city, and share some laughs with you. I love my hometown and its unique blend of culture, history, and delicious cuisine. Throughout my life, I have always lived in Saigon and have witnessed the tremendous and exciting changes in the city where I grew up. Indeed, I am a proud local of this dynamic and vibrant city. Please allow me to show you the beauty of Saigon, the Pearl of the Far East. I have extensive experience working as an English-speaking local guide for various companies, and I spent many years during college working as a hotel front desk agent. My understanding of cultural differences and my curiosity make me a great local guide. I UNDERSTAND you and your needs because I am a traveler myself. Why am I your perfect choice? There are many wonderful local guides in Ho Chi Minh City, but I will not only be your guide; I will also be the friend you know in Saigon. Here’s what I offer in my tours (including but not limited to): - Door-to-door service, with pick-up and drop-off as requested. - The flexibility to customize your own itinerary or choose from my ready-to-book tours. - I avoid touristy spots as much as possible to ensure you have an off-the-beaten-path experience. - No shopping (unless specifically requested). - You’ll come as customers, but leave as friends. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a message. I am available to answer all of your inquiries, offer recommendations about hotels and restaurants, or provide tips on how to navigate the city. I look forward to the day we finally meet in person! Locally yours, Ms. Nhu *As a licensed guide, I have no restrictions.

Overview of your Ho Chi Minh City tour

The Vietnam War is known by many as one of the most controversial, lengthy, costly, and divisive conflicts between North and South Vietnam, with the involvement of the U.S. military. Located 60 kilometers northwest of Saigon, there is an underground city that was once home to thousands of North Vietnamese soldiers (also known as the Viet Cong). The tunnels were used by Viet Cong soldiers as hiding spots during the war, as well as communication centers, supply routes, hospitals, food and weapon caches, and living quarters for North Vietnamese fighters. The tunnel systems were of great importance to the Viet Cong in their resistance against South Vietnam and American forces. This trip offers a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of what we, as Vietnamese people, went through and how these experiences shaped who we are today.
