Overview

Ready to experience a side of Ho Chi Minh like a local, with a local? This is a tour, unlike any other! If you want to take a step away from the touristy path, there's no better way than by diving into the city's alternative side. Welcome to Quân 6! If you're done with the main highlights, why not step away and take a less-traveled path that will show you an unexpected side of Ho Chi Minh? Follow a local guide on a private tour full of surprises and check out Ba Chien Hau pagoda and Binh Tay market, and more that let the true form of the city shine! Withlocals Off the Beaten Track Tour™ is one of Withlocals' signature tours available in major cities worldwide. We work with passionate local guides who earn a fair fee. We support local economies by only offering local produce and prevent over-tourism with only small non-intrusive groups. Our tours are carbon-neutral and away from the standard tourist routes.

Huyen is awesome!

Published on Jan, 2025

What an exhilarating and beautiful morning! Huyen was a terrific guide who was fun to talk to. She took me on the local buses and we walked a lot. I have been very scared crossing the streets in Ho Chi Minh City but with Huyen I felt safe. She answered all of my questions about life in Vietnam, like the health care system. We went to a huge market and she helped me buy a few snacks and coffee. Then we stopped and had banh mi and then to a fascinating temple. She also took some great pictures of me!

A must do in Saigon

Published on Jan, 2025

Thank you Hieu for a great tour and for sharing your culture and the Vietnam history with us. I Can really recommend this tour and I think it is a must do in Saigon!

Hidden Ho Chi Minh with Hieu

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a great morning with Hieu who took us to far-flung districts away from the usual tourist places. The second oldest coffee shop where we learned how to make traditional coffee was really special. And, the communist apartment blocks were interesting. Hieu was knowledgeable, friendly and really took joy is showing us his city. He even gave us suggestions for a delightful lunch spot and places to visit after leaving him. Highly recommend booking this tour!

A fantastic tour in Saigon

Published on Dec, 2024

We booked a tour with Hieu, "off the beaten track in Sigon". We have been on lots of tours in different countries and cities. As we told Hieu, he is the most professional and personal guide we have ever had. He took us to places in Saigon we would never had found. He also suggested other things to see and do in Saigon. I can really recommend this tour.

Definitely off the beaten track

Published on Nov, 2024

Jerky our tour guide definitely took us off the beaten track, firstly we took the local bus to Chinatown. From there we walked the streets to be amongst the locals, selling all sorts of wares and to visit a very old temple. Highly recommended
