Great to meet you, I'm Ben. I founded and lead a team of well-trained, knowledgeable local guides who have been offering unique walking and scooter-based experiences in Saigon since 2019. After moving from my rural hometown to study tourism, I quickly fell in love with the city's rich history, vibrant culture, and incredible food scene. With six years of guiding experience, I’ve explored Saigon deeply—uncovering hidden stories, cultural gems, and local flavors that most visitors miss. Together with my passionate team, we take guests beyond the typical tourist routes to experience the real Saigon through its streets, stories, and street food—just like a local friend would. Our interest is that we like to show people around our city and share our perspectives and stories. We know the hidden gems and have a very deep passion and love for our city, which we like to share. We keep up the excellent service and appreciation for our guests! That’s why we are very proud of receiving the reward, “Certificate Of Excellence 2023” issued by Trip Advisor, and Guruwalk. Absolutely! Maintaining that sense of authenticity is key to ensuring that our guests have a memorable and enjoyable experience. It’s clear that you value the personal connection and the feeling of spending time with friends rather than just going on a typical organized tour. Great experiences for our guests are never accomplished by one person but by a team. Thanks for our team’s dedication to providing exceptional hospitality. Why choose us? 1. Our slogan is "SATISFACTION - WE LIVE IT. YOU'LL LOVE IT" 2. We are local guides with knowledge, passion, and personal perspectives 3. Connect: Warmly welcome guests, turning strangers into friends
