Great walking tour - our guide, Thanh, was super knowledgeable and he started off with the group introducing themselves, which helped in getting to know each other. The tour covered all the main parts and Thanh recommended many places to re-visit - coffee places, bakery, museums etc. We ended with a small introduction to Vietnamese language and then finished with Banh Mi! All in all, a super time with a fun and well informed tour guide who loves what he does! 100% recommend :)

Definitely one of the best free walking tours we have been on, and we have been on a lot of them throughout the world. Thanh was exciting, thorough, creative, and at times his stories were quite moving as well. Anyone who comes to Saigon should take Thanh’s walking tour

Fantastic tour! We've done free walking tours all over the world and Thanh's was one of the best. We learned a lot, saw the highlights of the centre, and shared delicious food at the end (I even won a beer in the competition!).
There were 8 of us and Thanh was very conscious of making sure everyone could hear and was comfortable. He also made sure we weren't blocking the sidewalks for locals, which was an impressive touch.
Thanh answered all my questions and he seemed legitimately happy for the entire tour. You can tell he is proud of country and that he enjoys showing visitors around. I'd highly recommend spending the morning with Thanh, you won't regret it.

We’ve been lucky to do many walking tours around South East Asia and we can honestly say that this was one of our favourite tours to date! Thanh’s knowledge and expertise was outstanding-a real insight to a beautiful city with so much history! He went above and beyond in every aspect!
