I am a Tour guide

Xin chào! 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.
