Hello! I'm Bao Ngoc (Nana) - a local Saigonese. I was born and live in Saigon (HCMC), i'm a smilling and happy girl with small eyes. Learning and sharing culture is my hobby, i would like to become your local friend to show how much i love my country and share you a lot of recommendations of cuisine, history and local life when you will be here.
I have been a local guide of street food and culture for many years, i believe that i would bring you enjoy the real local area, history points, where you couldn't find it by yourself.
I will be so so so glad to meet you and let you know that how beauty of my beloved city.
Welcome to Saigon !!!
We really enjoyed our tour with Nana. Lots of information on the history of Vietnam and events and places we would otherwise not have come across. Instead of going to the most famous landmarks, she showed us hidden gems which made it a great experience!
We had such a brilliant walking tour with Nana. She was really informative, friendly and gave us such a great insight into local life, which felt like a proper contrast to the usual “see the sights” type of tour. One of the best parts was getting to experience more of the local vibe, including trying some snacks like banana sticky rice, and visiting Nana’s favourite coffee shop, which felt like a real hidden gem. We tried some unique coffee drinks there that we never would have found on our own. Nana also shared so many recommendations with us, which were genuinely invaluable for the rest of our time in the city. A really enjoyable, authentic and memorable tour. Highly recommend!
Was fortunate to have a solo tour, which of course meant individualized attention and the opportunity to learn and ask questions. Nana is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Vietnamese history. But for me, the real highlight was exploring a lived in part of the City away from the main tourist attractions. This added a level of authenticity, and took me to fun and active alleyways it would have been highly unlikely I would have found on my own. Highly recommend for someone looking to get a feel and taste for both historic and current day HCMC!
The tour was great. Full of Historic informations, local insights and good food and amazing drinks. The recommendations alone were worth the tour. The English of our guide was very good. One of the best tours we ever made.
