Q: Why should I pay $19 when I can just Google?
A: You can Google, but many places that show up are overly touristy and don’t reflect a real local experience. A lot of Saigon’s best cafés, food spots, neighbourhoods, and activities are actually hidden local gems you’d never find on a generic “Top 10” list.
Q: Do you get paid by the places featured in the guide?
A: Nope! I don’t take money from any of these places.
Q: What exactly do I get inside the guide?
A: You’ll get a curated list of 117 food spots, cafés, family-friendly places and experiences around Ho Chi Minh City, complete with Google Maps links and helpful local tips.
