Emma was friendly and approachable. Full of smiles and energy. Eager to share her love of Siagon with others. A good introduction to Ho Chi Minh City for new visitors. The underground bunker was interesting and fun to climb in and out 😄

I was the only one who signed up, so it ended up being a private tour with Emma. I learned so much about the history, archeology, and linguistics of Vietnam. Emma is incredibly knowledgeable and has answers to all my questions. Highly recommend!

This was the best walking tour I had been on for a while. Emma was a fantastic guide and had a lot of knowledge. She prepared information on her tablet so we didnt just learned about the history of the city but also cultural practises in temples and I especially loved the visit of the FootBadminton in the Park.
