Personal Introduction
I'm Thảo, a local guide from Saigon who loves meeting travellers and sharing the stories behind the city's food culture and living traditions. Energetic, adaptable, and people-oriented, I aim to keep every walk personal, authentic, and fun — not only informative. On the Saigon Street Food and Saigon City Highlights walks, I enjoy introducing guests to market stalls, family customs, and dishes such as bánh xèo and gỏi cuốn, while places like Independence Palace help open a quieter chapter of modern Vietnam through calm gardens and mid-century architecture.

- Favourite Place in Saigon
- The Independence Palace and the streets around it. I love its calm gardens, mid-century architecture, and the way it tells the story of modern Vietnam in a quiet, powerful way.
- Favourite Local Experience
- I most enjoy sharing Saigon's living traditions with travellers — local festivals, family customs, street markets, and the small everyday rituals that still shape life in the city.
