Bao Loc, Founder

Hello friends, you can call me “Loc.” I am a native of Saigon and genuinely love my city. I founded Xin Chào Private Vietnam Tours in 2008.  Since then, I have had the fortune of working with an amazing team. Together, we strive to constantly offer the best experiences of our city and country to our clients. It was back in 2005, when I was working at a local restaurant in downtown Saigon, that I began helping travelers find their way around the city. From there, I also was able to help business people and expats with their issues navigating life in the city. I soon discovered that I had a knack in connecting with and helping foreigners visiting or living in Saigon. My passion is helping visitors to Saigon discover my city, my country, and the world-renowned Vietnamese hospitality. It is my hope that you will enjoy your stay in Vietnam and leave you with a desire to soon return.
