What People Say About Us
Real experiences from travelers and locals who found their perfect hangout buddy.
I was traveling solo in Saigon and didn't know anyone. My buddy Linh took me to the best hidden street food spots and rooftop bars. It felt like hanging out with an old friend!
Honestly the best way to experience Ho Chi Minh City nightlife. My buddy knew all the cool spots and I never once felt out of place. Already booked again for my next trip!
I needed someone to show me around District 1 for a day. The booking was super easy, and my buddy was so friendly and professional. We grabbed coffee and explored the city on motorbikes!
As a solo female traveler, safety was my priority. Hangout Buddies matched me with an amazing local girl who took me to art galleries, cafes, and the cutest night market. 10/10 would recommend!
I moved to HCMC for work and had zero social life. Booked a buddy for weekend city walks and now I've got a whole friend group. This app literally changed my experience here!
Came to Saigon for a conference and had one free evening. My buddy took me on an incredible motorbike food tour through the alleys. Best pho I've ever had, and even better company!
