Thanh is exceptional!! His explanation was very easy to understand, very interactive he remember and always call us by our name, not only taking us many places but also telling us the story behind it that only locals know. He prepared a fun game, giving us a life talk, and lastly brought us to a local food stall that serves an amazing pork dumpling!!! So recommended!! Thank you Mr.Thanh!!

Our guide Thanh was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English , explaining the history of this remarkable city. He made the tour fun and entertaining with personal touches and stories of the man at the post office who worked and volunteered until he was into his 90s . An early start was not an issue and the best time of day for the walking tour before the heat of the day . Excellent Thank you Thanh.

Great tour around HCMC with Thanh. He starts his tour purposely early to beat the heat, walk in the shadow and bring you to the main place starting from the center and ending close to the hotels area. He knows a lot about his city but also the whole country and culture, I highly recommend!
