Don’t travel to Saigon without booking Nana’s tours
Nana was recommended to us by a friend. We signed up for the Saigon walking city tour as well as the food tour. Before arriving in HCM I didn’t have high expectations because several people I talked to said it was just another big city, boy was I wrong. Thanks to Nana’s knowledge, enthusiasm and love of her city I can honestly say that I love HCM now and want to come back to visit again because of her. We visited the war museum, had a bicycle rickshaw ride, visited the cutest coffee shops, post office and so many more sights. The food tour was incredible. We went to 4 different Michelin star restaurants, one food stall and one coffee shop, each one was special and amazing. The food was incredible and with Nana’s help we knew exactly what to order. Nana even helped me with a tailor shop and stayed with me while I picked out what I wanted and made sure I got back there the next day to pick up my order. She goes above and beyond all expectations. She even helped us with recommendations on other parts of Vietnam we were visiting. Nana is a great ambassador for Saigon. She is A gem worth booking for your next trip to Saigon.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review. It truly means the world to me ❤️. I’m so happy to hear that Saigon changed your expectations and became a city you fell in love with. Sharing the hidden corners, local culture, history, coffee shops and amazing food of my hometown with wonderful guests like you is exactly why I love doing these tours. It was such a pleasure spending time with you both. I hope Vietnam will welcome you back again soon, and next time in Saigon we’ll discover even more local gems together 😊.

We contacted Nana for a food tour following a recommendation. It was so much more than just the food (which was incredible). Nana was so enthusiastic and knowledgable about her hometown and country, and made the whole experience so enjoyable from start to finish. We visited spots we never would have found without her and we got a sense of the real side of Saigon. She is a very approachable, bubbly and friendly person too and we are just sad because we don’t have more time for her to show us around other places. Thank you Nana! 🌟🌟🌟
Response from the operator: Hi! Thank you so much for this lovely review! 🌟 I’m so happy you felt it was more than just a food tour. Sharing the real side of Saigon and the stories behind it is what I love most. I just wish we had more time together too and I will show you more and more delicious street foods! Next time, we continue the adventure 😉. Take care and hope to see you again in someday ^^.

Nana is amazing guide!
Nana was such an awesome tour guide for our family!! I found her through Airbnb and while being in HCMC we had several tours with her. Nana was very attentive to my kids (10 and 6yo). Would always ask them if they needed a break or a treat. My daughter was so sad when we had to fly out of HCMC, because she really loved spending time with Nana. She took us to some hidden gems in Saigon, recommended so many other awesome places to visit in the area. Helped me organise boat tour and found the best Mekong delta homestay for us. I will be forever grateful for helping us create so many amazing memories in Vietnam.
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you so much for your beautiful words. It truly means a lot to me :). It was my pleasure to have a wonderful time with your family and your kids were amazing and so cute. I’m so happy they enjoyed exploring Saigon and Mekong Delta.. Knowing your daughter was sad to leave really touched my heart. Hope to see you all again someday! 💛

Best tour experience in Vietnam
Nana is the friendliest and most energetic person I’ve met ! She took us to many local hidden gems that I would never been able to find on my own. She also gave me food recommendations after the tour where I had the best meals in Saigon! Cannot recommend enough.
Response from the operator: Dear Chloe! This really makes me so happy to read!! 😆💛 I also had such a great time exploring Saigon with you! I’m glad you loved the hidden gems, that’s the real Saigon 😉. Come back anytime, we still have many secret corners to discover!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Saigon Local Sightseeing Free Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Saigon Local Sightseeing Free Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $150000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ho Chi Minh City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Saigon Local Sightseeing Free Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ho Chi Minh City is not rushed.
Is Saigon Local Sightseeing Free Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Saigon Local Sightseeing Free Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Saigon Local Sightseeing Free Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Saigon Local Sightseeing Free Walking Tour?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ho Chi Minh City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ho Chi Minh City and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Saigon Local Sightseeing Free Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ho Chi Minh City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
On Outty we rank every Ho Chi Minh City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels Small-Group Tour: Vietnam War Underground Network, Cu Chi underground tour - Learn Vietnam war with others. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
