Mina (sorry if I spelled it wrong!) was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I learned so much about Vietnamese coffee production, culture, and the history of the French Quarter. Highly recommend! 💛☕
absolutely loved the tour with Pinky, she not only made it education, picking some brilliant spots I had been looking forward to seeing while back home. she made it feels like having an afternoon with friends. the tour was at a pace that you could easily keep up with and also felt comfortable stopping for photos. I would definitely recommend Pinky with an afternoon in the French quarter
Mina was absolutely incredible! She was so knowledgeable about Hanoi and the French Quarter, but also funny, warm, and such a gem to be around. She made the entire tour feel fun, easy, and personal. We met at the most beautiful coffee house tucked inside a home from the 1930s, and it had some of the best coffee I’ve had in Hanoi. Such a beautiful way to start the tour. She also takes amazing photos, which was such a wonderful bonus! So far, Mina has been one of the best guides I’ve had in Hanoi. I HIGHLY recommend booking a tour with her. She’s truly wonderful! ❤️
Mina was a great tour guide, with excellent knowledge of architecture, history, cultures, religion and coffee! Highly Recommend
I had a lovely time on my tour with Jasmine. I was the only guest, so it felt more like wandering the city with a Vietnamese friend. She showed me lot of things I would otherwise have missed and I learned a lot about Vietnam's past and present.
Mina is an excellent, knowledgeable, and friendly tour guide. She took us to many interesting, little-known spots and explained the significance of these places in an engaging way. She doesn’t just recite facts; she was able to give us fascinating insights into Vietnam’s history, culture, and customs. In the two and a half hours, we learned a lot about the many influences that have shaped Vietnam into what it is today. It’s very interesting to talk with Mina, so the tour was also very entertaining. Thank you very much!
Mina was wonderful guide, I was only expecting coffee and some architecture but she taught me so much about Vietnamese history and culture too. Fabulous way to spend a morning.
Mina was an excellent guide with sound local knowledge and explained the colonial history of Vietnam thoroughly. She was open to questions and showed me parts of the French quarter that I would not have found without her.
Pinkie was an amazing guide. She was so knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm - she really engaged all of us on the tour I really learnt a lot and would highly recommend.
Absolutely fantastic tour. Super interesting, lots of history, and answered all of our questions. We covered a lot but it didn’t feel rushed and 2.5 hours went by very quickly. Nghi is lovely and articulate. She presents all her information clearly and personably. Really appreciated her perspectives and personal stories. And the list of recommendations at the end! A great intro to Saigon; I highly recommend - there is no better walking tour.
Mins was a brilliant Guide-full of insights and facts and a Great representative for her City and all its Rich history-she was also very considerate of her group. Brilliant!
The tour was very interesting and our guide (Mina) was fun and informative. Highly recommended!
