Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Thank you, Phuc for a truly fun and informative bike tour through Hoi An and it’s outskirts. We learned and saw so much of what makes Hoi An special, especially its vegetable farms and rice paddies. A most calming vibe that contrasts with the crowds of Old Town. And thanks as well as introducing us to salted coffee, a most delicious revelation! "
"A perfect day trip outside the city and a lovely getaway into the countryside. Tam was so friendly and approachable, and being with him made the whole day feel unhurried—time truly slowed down in the best way. We visited farmers and local makers, discovering places we never would have found on our own. This is definitely a memory I’ll keep forever."
"We absolutely loved our street food tour of Hoi An with Tam! It was perfectly paced (ages 8 - 80) and Tam took us to areas and foodie places we'd never have found otherwise! There was so much tasty food so definitely eat lightly beforehand. Lots of little pieces of knowledge about Hoi An were also really interesting and made the tour so much more than just about the food. We also noted lots of other foodie recommendations for the rest of our stay. If you are looking for a local guide to Hoi An, Tam is your man! "
"Tam took my husband and I for a bike tour through rice fields and quiet residential enclaves. We would not have ventured that far if not for him. My husband and I were a little rusty on the bikes but Tam was very patient and kept us safe. "

"As a family of 5 we were so delighted with our experience with the wonderful Mun! She was fun, knowledgable, warm, adventurous, and made sure we ended up very full of real local food. Eating authentic central Vietnamese dishes we would never had ordered, ducking down alleyways we would have passed by, telling us fascinating historical or cultural facts we would never had known.. this was why we wanted to go 'with locals' and Mun was the very best. Highly recommended!"
"Tony was an amazing guide! We were a group of 4, with 2 kids, and Tony kept we all enganed durung the day. He took us to great spots while sharing about the hostory and curiosities of Da Nang and Hoi An. We will definitely book another adventure with him! "
"We had an absolutely fantastic private tour with Hieu visiting Marble Mountain, the Lady Buddha statue, Dragon Bridge, and the enchanting Hoi An Ancient Town from Tien Sa Sea Port. From the moment we were met at the port, everything was seamless, comfortable, and perfectly timed. Hieu is an exceptional guide. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about sharing his country and culture. At Marble Mountain, he guided us through the caves and pagodas while explaining the history and spiritual significance in a way that was both informative and easy to understand. The Lady Buddha statue was breathtaking, and Hieu made sure we had time to enjoy the views and take photos without feeling rushed. Seeing Dragon Bridge was a fun highlight, and Hieu gave great insight into Da Nang’s modern development. Hoi An Ancient Town was everything I hoped it would be. It is beautiful, atmospheric, and full of history. Hieu knew exactly where to go, pointed out details we would have otherwise missed, and even where to have a delicious lunch. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and we always felt well taken care of. Most importantly, we returned to the ship with plenty of time to spare, full of wonderful memories, and very happy we chose to see the area with Hieu. If you are stopping at Tien Sa Port and want a well-organized, personal, and expertly led private tour, we highly recommend Hieu. This was truly a 5-star experience from start to finish!"
"This was a great tour. Robert was great company and very knowledgeable. My wife and I learnt a lot about the architecture and influences of the ancient town. It was a good scroll at a good pace. Robert connected us with terrific suitmaker and shoemakers and they both did a great job. When we looked them up on Google they have really high ratings – the best in town. Thanks Robert. It was a great trip. "
"We were traveling on a cruise ship and Tony met us at the port for a full day tour of Da Nang and Hoi An. He was incredibly flexible in working with us in advance to customize a day tour for us that was aligned with our interests. We had the best day! He was very thoughtful in bringing cold water and umbrellas in his comfortable vehicle. He introduced us to all the key highlights of both cities, as well as his favorite places (that only locals would know) for Banh mi sandwiches, and local favorites including Sweet Black Sesame Soup for dessert and delicious Vietnamese coffee. We especially liked our thorough tour of Marble Mountain. Tony was extremely knowledgeable about its history and all the temples inside, carvings on the walls and the bat cave. We also loved the old town in Hoi An and can't wait to go back. We visited museums, temples, famous bridges and the market. During the trip he also answered all our questions about daily life in Vietnam and we felt we got a perspective of the culture that we would not have received through a traditional cruise ship excursion. And- Importantly, he made sure we returned to the ship in good time before we left port that night. Thank you Tony!"
"we had a good time with Phuc. Despite half the town being flooded he was able to give us an entertaining and informative tour. He took us for black sesame soup and showed us some of the historic buildings. He showed the house involved in the Vietnamese resistance. He was able to answer our questions and give us plenty of information. We would recommend booking a tour with Phuc. "
