Sympathy and professionalism - I learned about this reality in Facebook
We had a tour of almost three and a half hours during which we visited District 1 2 and 3 by scooter, they made us taste many sweet and savory dishes, even inside a restaurant featured in the Michelin guide. The girl you see in the photos were exhaustive. They answered all my questions satisfactorily. Brave 👏

Experience to do!!!! - Beautiful experience to discover the true essence of Saigon. A mix of culture, culinary experiences and fun. The tour consists of a walk through some districts of Saigon, tasting typical Vietnamese cuisine and also visiting places important for the city’s history. At the end of the tour we had a beer in a club in the most transgressive and bustling district of the city. We were accompanied by Elly who was very good!! Highly recommended experience!!!

Fantastic motorbike & food tour - definitely go - Elly has been great, she showed me around some of the hidden spots in Saigon in terms of food and history.
She introduced me to one very important piece of history that defined the city's future, while also providing insights into the day to day life of a local in Ho Chi Minh by walking through the streets and navigating the motorbike traffic like a pro.
She has a great personality and is an amazing conversationalist, which made the tour even more enjoyable and I would fully recommend booking this (don't eat before, you will be full by the end).
Thank you very much Elly!

The food and sights of HCMC - I was fortunate to spend the evening with Elly from Little Saigonese Tours. What an amazing introduction to such a beautiful city. Elly is a superbly professional guide who is kind, caring and polite. Elly is extremely knowledgeable about the food and sights of HCMC. She has a warm personality and imparts her knowledge with a happy dedication to her role as a tour guide. I totally recommend these tours as an introduction on arrival in this amazing country.

Best tour in HCMC - I had the absolute luck to be the only one joining the tour that day – which turned into a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Elly took me around Saigon on her motorbike, showing me places and stories I would have never discovered on my own.
If you want to experience Saigon through the eyes of a true local (born and raised here), this is the perfect way to do it. Elly is super friendly, knowledgeable, and makes you feel completely safe on the road.
You don’t just see the city – you really feel it. Highly recommended!
