Free walking tours in Ho Chi Minh City

We had a good experience on the Guru Walking Tour with Linh. She was very knowledgeable, shared lots of interesting facts, and made the tour fun and engaging throughout. You could really tell she knew the history and culture well. The only downside was that the group was quite large — around 14 people. Unfortunately, some participants did not speak English, so another participant had to constantly translate for them, which disrupted the flow of the tour and affected the overall experience for the rest of the group. At one point, they even disappeared and Linh had to stop the tour to go look for them. I think it would greatly improve the experience if group sizes were limited to around 10 people to keep everyone engaged and make the tour easier to manage. Overall, though, Linh did a great job and we still enjoyed the tour thanks to her knowledge and positive energy

Increíble el guía Nguyen Thien en su conocimiento del español y sus comentarios

Great tour, lots of info and chill guide!

Very informative tour! Mike was wonderful, and always made sure to find us shade :)

I enjoyed the walk, and I was actually the first and only customer on this first run of this newly developed tour, so it’s definitely still taking shape and finding its feet. It is an off the beaten path tour, and not focused on the normal tourist attractions, instead often taking back alleyways and streets away from the main tourist areas, getting a feel for the real Ho Chi Minh City and sometimes its underbelly. I was hoping for a tour like this, but it may not be for everyone and definitely not for people looking to see the sights. I enjoyed my guide, Duc. Thanks.

We visited some good spots and discovered the famous Street Market Road

Very good guided walk of Ho Chi Minh city with Quan, who was very competent, and also a very nice guy. Lots of interesting facts and stories about the area and what we we were, and a comprehensive and interesting tour lasting about 2½ hours. We walked quite a bit, but for the final stop took a taxi as it was a little too far to walk. It was a very good tour, and I'd certainly recommend both the tour itself, which was really interesting and informative, and Quan as a guide, who I know offers other tours as well.

Very interesting tour with lots of historical insight.

Joseph is amazing. One of the best guide I had in Vietnam 🙏🏼

I got a message earlier in the day to say that as I was the only person booked into the tour, I needed to guarantee a payment of min. 30 USD. As I'm leaving HCMC in the morning I decided to go ahead, and I'm so glad I did. I'm a vegetarian, and I don't have a huge appetite, and Wade was so kind and considerate, negotiating smaller/cheaper portions so I could taste so many things. It was amazing to hear about his family's history and war experiences, and their lives now. The solo tour really was perfect and I'm very glad I did it.

Thannh did a nice route around central Sai Gon. He was very friendly and interesting.

Phantastic Tour, phantastic guide!! Great food and lots of information, a „must have“ when you want to experience a taste of this City guided by our super friendly and professional Dat!

Thomas was very informative about the history of the city! He took us around,gave us local recommendations, allowed us to explore places at our own pace and answered any questions we had. I was running a bit late and he very kindly waited for me too. At the end of the trip he also messaged us with a variety of great recommendations for things to see/do, food, drink etc. Great tour!

We had a great time with our tour guide Van. He was a very lovely guy who we had a great 2 hours with. He showed us around the main sights in HCM and gave us some nice tips for coffee, shopping and more afterwards. Our tour was a group of 4 which also was a great size for a walking tour and we all had the chance to ask our questions. We also really appreciated that Van had a microphone because sometimes the HCM city traffic was very loud and thanks to the microphone we could still hear everything. Would recommend this tour with Van 100%. Thank you again, Van :)

So much fun and very tasty food!!

It was an awesome tour round Ho Chi Min centre. The guide talk about so many interesting things so I really have not heard about the city.

I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Hà. Her English was excellent and she was very knowledgeable and personable, The tour covers big events during and after the war, but Hà was able to share insight into the impact of ordinary people’s lives including her family’s. Highly recommended

I think our guide was called Peter, who was both helpful, polite & gracious, always answering any questions with an in depth knowledge of his home city. He took us to quite a few unseen parts of Ho Chi Minh City centre and provided lots of historical references and facts.

Fun and informative

Incredible positive experience & actually one of (if not The One) highlight about our Vietnam journey. We will come back to do this tour with this amazing people. It honestly felt like going out with our friends and getting to know the real Vietnam. Absolutely loved it 1000 out of 100 stars for this tour ❤️❤️❤️❤️

If you really want to learn about Vietnamese coffee specialties, this tour/workshop is a must! We prepared different types in a very intimate atmosphere with lots of explanations and background information on coffee and how it arrived in Vietnam. Thanks a lot!

An excellent introduction to HCMC. Linh was very knowledgeable, but what made it so enjoyable was her personable nature and insight. Thank you!

Great tour, good combination of history and fun facts from the history of the country, nice tips about every day life and habits of local people. Good duration of the tour with a nice break for drinks and wc. We really enjoyed the tour with Mike, our your and energetic tour guide, very knowledgeable about everything. Nice photo opportunities and great stories about some of Saigon’s most iconic landmarks.

This morning tour with Joseph was fantastic! He shared a lot of information, and showed us so many places that I'd never have seen on my own. Thank you again for this wonderful experience

I would highly recommend this tour. Kio was an excellent guide. We saw plenty of places and Kio had so much information about the history and culture. She also spaced out the stops really well with breaks in the shade and at a really cool cafe.
