My name is Ut and I come from Mekong delta. I’ve been living in Saigon now for almost 10 years, having graduated from university as an English major. My very first job was as a hotel staff member of the Sheraton Saigon (concierge department ). After 5 years working in hospitality, I decided to find a new challenge and trained to become a professional tour guide. I am very passionate about this job because I love travel and meeting different people and it gives\u00a0me a good standard of living.<\/p>\n

I have been working with Experience Travel Group for one and a half years and I really enjoy all of tours and making friends with the\u00a0clients. The company’s holidays are a much higher standard than others in the country and I like being part of this service. When I am not working, I like to chillax, cook, read news, watch films and travel too.\u00a0\"_DSC0543\"<\/p>\n

I love sharing interesting things about Vietnamese history, culture and daily life. What I love most is to take travellers to local areas, the countryside in the Mekong Delta is my favourite as I feel like I’m home.<\/p>\n

One of my favourite memories with Experience Travel Group is when I took my\u00a0first tour and my clients were\u00a0a honeymoon couple! We went to the Chill Sky Bar for some drinks at\u00a0happy hour and\u00a0to see the sunset \u2013 enjoying\u00a0a fascinating city view from the top\u00a0of \u00a0the 27 floored building.<\/p>\n

The honeymooners had such an amazing time, it was very romantic for them and I was happy to arrange this. It was also funny because they were having such a great time they managed to have 10 bottles of beer between them and some more alcoholic drink. They were such strong people – before we got to the bar I said that the Vietnamese consume 3 billion litres of beer a year and Vietnam is the country with the biggest beer consumption in southeast Asia – but this couple put us to shame!
