Author: Saigon Homestay Editorial Team

The Saigon Homestay editorial team writes and maintains these Vietnam travel guides. We are a boutique apartment host based in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. Our guides are researched from published, checkable sources - government tourism boards, the national e-visa portal, transport operators, UNESCO listings, embassy advisories and national statistics - and drafted with AI assistance, then reviewed and edited by our team before publishing. Prices and opening hours in Vietnam change often, so we link the source behind the numbers we quote.
