Meet Our Team at Saigon Taste Tours

Our Story

Great to meet you, I’m Ben.

I’m the founder of Saigon Taste Tours, a locally run tour company based in Saigon, where I led a team of well-trained, knowledgeable local guides, Emmie, Hani, Daniel, Lily, Den, Bob, Kyle, and others who have been offering unique local experiences in Saigon, Vietnam since 2019. After moving from my rural hometown to study tourism for four years, I’ve spent over six years guiding visitors and discovering the heart and soul of this vibrant city. Saigon has become more than just my home—it’s a place I love deeply and know intimately.

Together with my team, we share the hidden gems, rich flavors, and untold stories of Saigon—from a true local perspective. What drives us is simple: we love our city, and we love showing people around, sharing the real Saigon through our eyes and experiences

Each of our local guides comes from a different rural region of Vietnam, each with a unique background and story. Life in the countryside can be challenging, but we all share big dreams. Coming to Ho Chi Minh City, we carried the hope of finding better opportunities and building a brighter future.

We’re deeply grateful to every guest who has chosen to explore with us. You’ve given us the chance to be your local friends and to proudly share the best of our country’s life, food, culture, and history. This incredible job allows us to improve our English, support our education, and connect with people from all over the world. Every tour is not just an experience for you—it’s also a chance for us to grow, learn, and exchange cultures.

We’re committed to delivering excellent service and showing heartfelt appreciation to every guest who joins us. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to have received the “Certificate of Excellence 2023” from Tripadvisor, GetYourGuide, Airbnb, and other OTAs. These honors reflect our dedication to creating memorable, authentic experiences—not just tours, but genuine moments shared with local friends.

We believe that meaningful experiences don’t come from one person alone, but from the passion and teamwork of our whole crew. We’re so thankful for our amazing team and their ongoing commitment to exceptional hospitality. Together, we ensure every guest feels welcomed, valued, and connected to the true spirit of Vietnam
