What Travellers Say
"As a solo traveler in Ho Chi Minh City, I was nervous about navigating the city alone. VietBuddy's Plus package was a game-changer! They booked all my Grab rides, recommended amazing local restaurants in District 1, and even helped me negotiate prices at Ben Thanh Market. Having someone respond within minutes at any time of day gave me so much confidence."
Sarah M.
Solo Traveler, Australia
"My wife and I visited Ho Chi Minh City for our anniversary, and VietBuddy's Premium package made it unforgettable. They created a detailed 5-day itinerary, booked a private guide for a day tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels, and even helped us organize a surprise dinner at a rooftop restaurant. The translation help when we needed it was invaluable. Worth every dollar!"
James & Lisa K.
Couple, United Kingdom
"Traveling to Ho Chi Minh City with two young kids was stressful, but VietBuddy's Basic package gave us peace of mind. When we had a medical emergency at 2 AM, they responded immediately and helped us find a 24/7 pharmacy. Their food recommendations were spot-on for picky eaters, and they always had great suggestions for family-friendly activities. Highly recommend!"
