I went to Mekong Delta together with An the 21th of August. From the beginning I had no expectations. I just thought it was a tour like most tours. But I was very surprised. An is a funny and outgoing person. I was laughing a lot, and I never felt bored. Her language skills are excellent and she informed me all the time about buildings, historical monuments and life in Vietnam generally. I liked Mekong Delta very much But An was just this "little extra". Thank you for giving me a great day.

Thien was a great guide and we wondered into unique shops and cafes around town based on my preference. She holds great conversation and gave me an insight into the lives of the locals. I throughly enjoyed my time with Thien!

Thien (An) was a fantastic host for my wife and I for a Tet experience in Ho Chi Minh city. She was forthcoming on all our questions, spoke excellent english and we enjoyed her company very much. We can only highly recommend Thien to ther travellers and visitors to the HCMC area. Well done. Regards LB and EE

An is a very good, fun and reliable guide. The night motorcycle ride offered an exciting and off-the-beaten track experience of exploring the Saigon city at night.

She is good English speaker. She is very good at the driving of the motorcycle. She guides every place you want to visit of the town by motorcycle. It’s very fun. She can take you to a nice restaurant and souvenir shops precisely. You can spend valuable time in Ho Chi Minh City with her. I want to visit Ho Chi Minh City once again with her guide. Thank you, Thien.

Before the trip, I had PM her for info here and there and she was helpful. Hence decided to book her. She was punctual and arrive at the hotel lobby. A nice lady to guide you around whose English was good. No issue in communicating with you. I enjoy my short one day with her and I will surely book her for the bike trip the next time (a definite) I go to HCMC. Gosh, it will be thrilling and an experience riding on a bike in HCMC. Go to HCMC look for Thien Who Thien See you again in 2015. Heinz Lee

Thien is good company, someone whom you can trust and rely on. She'll go an extra mile to help you if you are searching for some particular souvenir. Not one to cheat or short change you. Patient, easy going, fun and professional. Highly recommend her.

We had a wonderful experience. Thien introduced a few samples of the local seafood to us. They tasted great and we enjoyed her and her friends company. She is easy to talk to, speaks impeccable English and without her this undertaking would have been impossible. I highly recommend Thien because of her knowledge and her fun nature. We enjoyed our evening very much.

My friend and I just spent two nights in Ho Chi Minh and were very fortunate to meet Thien (An) on the first night. She arrived on time and bought a friend so they could take both of us on the back of their scooters. They were very competent and safe riders and the ride through the busy streets was so much fun! Thien took us to some amazing places to try out authentic Vietnamese food. She's so passionate about the food and was always happy to answer our questions. She was interested to find out what we wanted to eat, but also had some fantastic suggestions for food we might like to try. Everything we ate that night was absolutely delicious! In particular I absolutely loved the Pho, Vietnamese pancakes (Banh Xeo I think?) and finishing with a Vietnamese coffee at a lovely, laid back cafe. Aside from the amazing food, I couldn't speak more highly of Thien. She was such a lovely, friendly and welcoming person and made such an effort to make our time in Saigon one to remember. Her English was perfect and we never ran out of things to talk about. I will definitely be returning to Vietnam and the first thing I'll do is get in contact with Thien as it just wouldn't be as much fun without her. If you're going to Ho Chi Minh I thoroughly recommend you book one of her tours. It was absolutely the highlight of my holiday! Michael (and Elise)

We have booked the city tour combined with foodie tour with Thien An. My colleagues and I (group of 3 instead of the original 4 pax), truly enjoyed the tour. We visited famous sites and landmarks in Ho Chi Minh City coupled with food tasting along the street for snacks, short break for an ice cold fruit juice smoothies at a cozy cafe, lunch at such a nice and fancy restaurant and afternoon tea/snacks at the Benh Thanh Market. Our guide, Thien An, arrived early at the hotel for the meet up. She arranged a car for us which made the movement from one place to another so convenient. Thien An was very pleasant and cordial all the time. She gave us the flexibility to decide on where to go, how long to stay in one place and when to leave for our next destination. We can never complain with the service she has provided us. We will definitely refer her to our friends. Thank you for the superb service, An! We hope to meet you again someday. We had a wonderful trip and great souvenir photos, too. Ciao, Meg (on behalf of Beth and Lorna)

Thien was a fantastic person to hangout with. She's smart, fun and helpful. We visited a cat cafe, The Other Person cafe and of course the amazing 4P's Pizza restaurant. All these venues recommended by her were great, but more than half the fun wouldn't have happened without her company. At the end of the outing, she even surprised me by stopping by a bridge to admire the spectacular view of Saigon's skyline. I imagine we'd have more interesting conversations if I stayed in Saigon even longer. All in all, I'd say this is an unforgettable experience for me and I highly recommend everyone to get to know Thien!

Really sorry for the super late review and feedback. was pretty busy once i get back from vietnam. We traveled in three. Me myself, my younger bro and my bf. we arranged to meet up with An (Thien) on the last night in vietnam. we make it a spontaneous outing. Which i think An might had a little "no idea" where to bring us around when i told her we want to know what's Saigon's youngster normally do at evening. she bring along another 2 friends with bike, so each of us are able to ride on the back around the city. An, Chloe and Hoa are really really nice and knowledgeable about their hometown. Ask anything you are curious about it, they will try to answer you. haha! there's too much to write for the few hours we spend together. Getting on back of the bike is REAL FUN!! it's very exciting indeed! recommended to get this lovely girl to enhance your day or night in Saigon! peace!!

Great ride with Thien! She is an amazing guide and person. I can fully recommend her. Booking was easy and we arranged hours and location very flexible. Safe but energizing ride, new impressions of the tourist track, many insights from her, ...3 hours went by in a second. Next time again.

So I was in HCMC for one night only, and fortunately An was available that night at short notice to show me her amazing hometown. She is funny, friendly and chatty, and will definitely keep you entertained throughout. Naturally she is very knowledgeable about her city, and will take you around to do and see the things you want. Saigon is an amazing place, and An is an even more amazing tour guide. You won't regret it. As the song goes, you really won't believe the things you'll see. Tip: The next person to meetrip her should take her to McDonald's, as she's never tried it before. I wanted to take her, but we were too stuffed from all the other great good we had : )

I had a wonderful day with Thien visiting the Mekong Delta. She is very knowledgeable not only on the Mekong Delta but on Vietnamese culture in general and explained a lot of things to me about Vietnam and the way people live that I didn't know before meeting her. Not only was she very knowledgeable but she was also a lot of fun to be around and has an infectious smile. Thank you so much Thien, I truly enjoyed my day with you and would recommend anyone travelling to Ho Chi Minh to please look her up, you won't be disappointed. Cheers and thanks again, Josh

I had a wonderful day with Thien who tailored the tour according to my tastes. She speaks very good English and was able to explain the Saigonese customs about Tet. This was the first time that I used Meetrip and will do so again.....thanks Thien for a great time.

Thien was a great tour guide. She is quite a lovely person and easy to talk to. She took me around on the back of her scooter around district 1 to have coffee just like the locals where we relax and discuss vietnamese culture. She showed me other places such as the local parks, the war museum, reunification palace, some temple that's not on any map, Notre Dame cathedral, the postoffice and then had lunch at a small restaurant. She also suggested some more places to explore but unfortunately I didn't have time to get to try them all. One of them was a phở restaurant which had the best phở I've had so far in Vietnam.

Today I met with Thien in Ho chi Minh, i had a great time, she was lovely, her English is excellent and very helpful. We went by motorcycle to the fine arts museum, the zoo and then got a coffee in a cool little Vietnamese coffee house (that I never would've found if not for her. An all around wonderful way to experience a new city. Highly recommended!

I asked her to take me somewhere outside of Saigon because I think I enjoyed fully Saigon town. Then, she suggested Vung Tau, a beach town, which is popular for Saigonese. We took a boat which takes 1.5 hours from Saigon to Vung Tau, and rented a motor bike there. We visited Bach Dinh (White Villa), Dinh Than Thang Tam Temple, Tuong Thanh Gioc (Jesus Christ statue), and Bai Sau (Back Beach). I stayed in Saigon for four days and breathed exhaust gas from cars and motorbikes so much. It was a good refreshing time for me to stay at a beach town:) She speaks English fluently, always joyful, and full of hospitality. Just meetrip with her!

I met her on her university campus. She speaks English fluently. We went to Emperor Jade Pagoda and Binh Tay Market together with her. During our trip, I had juice and sweets whose shops are very popular among locals. No tourist there. If you want to try genuine local-popular foods, ask Thien. We took a local bus. You know, it's a kind of difficult to take a local bus for a tourist like me. Noisy and aggressive bus driving was also interesting experience for me. With her help, I bet your trip will become super fantastic!

I only had 3 hours to visit in HCMC and An made it the best 3 hours of my trip! She is very fun to be with and accommodating. We went to the guitar street, ben thanh market, local pho place, cafe and a convenience store! Riding on her bike is the most exciting way to explore the city! I found a new friend in her. Thank you ^~^ Ahhh I'm really happy like this -> (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

Thien is awesome!! She took me around Ho Chi Minh City by motorbike for all day. We went to Cho Ben Thanh Market, popular local restaurant, small temple not in guide book(this place was nice), Vietnamese high school, China Town, Vietnamese movie(that was so funny(^_^)), the park where we can drink Vietnamese coffee, Bitexco Financial Tower. We explored HCMC together for all of day. We had continued to laugh. It was what a nice time. Furthermore, she has a lot of knowledge about traditional things and lifestyle of HCMC. She told me that. I think understanding about the country makes trip delightful. So if you want to have a great time during your trip in Ho Chi Minh City, it is better for you to contact Thien. I hope you have a wonderful time with Thien. (^_^)b

Especially I can't forget sitting on road and drinking coffee or juice. Thank you Thien. You are greatest guide I ever met.

She guided me Saigon City (Ho Chi Minh City) during the New Year (Tet) and I really enjoyed it. She took me around the city by motor cycle or walking, and introduced me the many hot spots and the background of them. It was so nice that I experienced the places not on the guidebook for tourists. She was born and raised in Saigon. It was also interesting to know what real Saigonese thinks. I also appreciate that she provided me a lot of information according to my requests before the visit. If you would like to feel the atmosphere of Saigon not only for the tourism places but also for the real life, I believe she will be the best guide for you. テト（旧正月）にサイゴン（ホーチミン市）の街を案内して頂き、大変楽しく過ごすことができました。 バイクや徒歩で街中を周りながら、穴場を教えてもらったり、目にするものの背景の解説してもらったり... ガイドブックに載っていないサイゴンを体験できたのが収穫です。 サイゴンで生まれ育った彼女から、サイゴンっ子の考え方みたいなものが感じられたのも収穫でした。 訪問前のやりとりで、いろいろ下調べをして下さったことにも感謝しています。 観光スポットの見学やツーリスト向けの買い物だけでなく、リアルな街の様子を感じたいのであれば、自信を持ってオススメできる方です。

My girlfriend and I recently met up with Thien for a tour while visiting Saigon. We had an excellent time exploring the city on the back of a motorbike with her and her friend, Chloe. Both Thien and Chloe were excellent hosts - great drivers, very knowledgeable about the city, and a lot of fun to talk to. During our tour they took us to a fantastic restaurant serving Saigon specialties, we saw several local landmarks, and enjoyed Saigon's parks and cafes. We had a great time seeing Saigon like a local with Thien, and would definitely recommend her as a guide to anyone visiting the city.

PUp is such a wonderful guide. Her Vietnamese name is Huong. My friend and I met Huong and her kind husband, Tuan at our first night in Hanoi. They took us around the Hoan Kiem lake. Then they walked with us to the Old Quarters. Their capital is very interesting. I can understand Hanoi much better through their stories and their local pont of views. They gave us a lot of tips about eating and show us a lot of places to visit during our tour. We can experience folk street performance (Ca Tru) in the old quarters. Then they took us to a very nice bar of their cousin. The beer is cold and cheap and junk food is tasty too. I love the bar because it's not so crowded or touristy like other pubs nearby. We sat down and chilled out together in the bar. PUb and her husband are such a wonderful couple. They feel free to share with us any aspects of Hanoi: the people, Hanoian lifstyle, weather, etc. They are willing to answer and questions of mine. They even show us a good store to buy traditional treats and show us the night market and the Dong Xuan market. At the end of the tour, they took us back to our hotel even it was kinda late.

\(^O^)/ We are happy and lucky to know PUp and Tuan. Highly recommend!!! If I come back to Hanoi some day, I will absolutely see her again.
