Hi, I’m Hillary! What I love most about Ho Chi Minh City is how its modern energy blends seamlessly with timeless traditional charm - every corner seems to tell its own story. You can feel the rhythm of life moving fast yet somehow staying beautifully calm. I enjoy morning walks through the heart of the city, cà phê sữa đá in hand, soaking in the sights and sounds of District 1. Having my friends around, sharing what I know, and helping others discover what makes this city so special always brings me joy. I have a deep understanding of Ho Chi Minh’s history and architecture, and I love revealing the hidden stories behind everything - from an old colonial building to a simple bowl of rice.
I’ve lived in Ho Chi Minh for 8 years
I speak English, Vietnamese
I am City Tourguide
Spending a half day with Hillary was an awesome introduction to both Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam as a whole. We were there the day before Tet so a lot of things in the city were closed or not operating as usual, but Hillary was still able to put together an awesome itinerary for me and my friend. The breakfast spot she took us to was something I'll be talking about for a long, long time. We wandered through some of the main parts of the city and even ended up seeing a few lion dances. She gave us great recommendations for silk shops and other restaurants that we absolutely took advantage of during our time there! Hillary was so fun to be around, so knowledgeable, and took great photos of us. We didn't feel like we were missing out at all even though many parts of the city were quiet for the holiday. We ended the day with incredible egg cream coffees and could have easily spent the rest of the day hanging out with her. Cannot recommend booking a tour with Hillary enough.

I’m Robert, a local from Ho Chi Minh City who loves sharing the city’s energy and character with others. What fascinates me most about Ho Chi Minh is its dynamic atmosphere, the mix of hectic streets, kind people, and incredible food from all over Vietnam. This city is full of stories, with layers of history that unfold the more you explore, like peeling an onion that might even bring a tear or two. I enjoy having coffee while watching the city move and discovering new corners that surprise me every time. I know the local Saigonese neighborhoods, from charming old buildings to the lively downtown nightlife, inside out. Whether it’s food, culture, or history, I’m always excited to help guests experience the real heartbeat of Ho Chi Minh City.
I’m Kevin, a born and raised local from Ho Chi Minh City who loves showing people around my vibrant hometown. What I love most about this city is its people - warm, welcoming, and always ready with a smile. And of course, the food here is amazing, a perfect mix of flavors from all over Vietnam. I enjoy guiding visitors and sharing the city’s stories, which is why I chose to be a tour guide. When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me eating out with friends and family, which I do almost every day. I know District 4, where I grew up, and District 3, where locals mostly live, like the back of my hand. I’m confident when it comes to finding the best street food, local temples, and hidden gems that make Ho Chi Minh City truly unforgettable.
