A Tourist's Guide to love marks Rachael Leigh Cook's return to the Netflix romantic comedy genre. She plays Amanda Reilly, an ambitious travel executive who, after a tense argument with her longtime lover, decides to go undercover to investigate a prospective new tourism business to acquire. She travels unexpectedly and ends up in vietnam just in time for the Tét celebration of the Vietnamese Lunar New Year. She meets Sinh (Scott Ly), the tour guide who will fundamentally alter Amanda's life, there. He is an independent man who loves his family, country, and company dearly. For a few wonderful days, Sinh and Amanda will figure out creative ways to travel and experience life as a couple.

After directing Resort to love for Netflix, Steven Tsuchida is now in charge of this project. To transport the spectator to vietnam and not some fictitious representation of the colourful country, Tsuchida and cinematographer Jon Keng take great pleasure in the on-location shot. The audience is given visual evidence to corroborate Sinh's assertions that vietnam is much more than what is sometimes portrayed in hollywood as he offers advice on how to enjoy travelling to another nation. The groundwork is laid by screenwriter Eirene Tran Donohue for a happy, joyous journey around Vietnam.

A Tourist's Guide to love accomplishes its goal of making the audience fall in love with Scott Ly, despite the script's somewhat ham-fisted portrayal of the central connection. This movie is a vehicle for Ly to become a star, much like Netflix's first homosexual romance, Single All the Way, which introduced Philemon Chambers to fans. The actor is captivating and stunning. Sinh is a vivacious guy who genuinely cares about his country, its citizens, and everything in between. Ly gives him an honest performance that gives him more depth than just a simple love interest.

The experience of seeing A Tourist's Guide to love is worthwhile. Unavoidably, one feels carried away. Amanda expresses her satisfaction with the tour led by Sinh during her visit to vietnam by stating, "I felt like I was truly in the middle of it all, you know?" Although the question is aimed at a person who wouldn't understand, the audience feels the same way.
