Tom is Vietnam. 🇻🇳
I genuinely don’t know how to write this review without sounding like Tom paid me, but I can assure you he did not. This man is simply THAT good.
We were a family of 10 on a walking tour through Hoi An Old City with Tom, and from the second we met him, we knew we had struck gold. Tom is one of those rare people who can make you feel like you’ve known him for years within about 10 minutes. Funny, ridiculously knowledgeable, unbelievably charismatic and somehow able to keep a family of 10 entertained at the same time — which should honestly qualify him for some kind of national award.
Tom doesn’t give tours. Tom gives experiences.
He showed us around Hoi An, told us stories, taught us about the history and culture, made us laugh constantly and somehow made every single person in our group feel included. At the end of the tour, we weren’t sure whether Tom was our guide or whether we had just accidentally made a new best friend.
Naturally, we booked him again the NEXT DAY.
This time: the bike tour.
And once again, Tom absolutely cooked.
We rode through the rice paddies, visited a duck farm, rode a WATER BUFFALO 🐃 and experienced parts of Hoi An that we never would have found ourselves. Tom somehow turned every activity into the highlight of our trip. I’m genuinely convinced this man could organise a tour of a car park and have us leaving saying it was the best day of our lives.
His energy is unmatched. His knowledge is unmatched. His hospitality is unmatched. At this point, I’m not even sure there’s a better tour guide in Vietnam because I’m not sure there’s a better Tom anywhere.
If you’re coming to Hoi An, don’t overthink it. Book Tom.
Walking tour? Tom.
Bike tour? Tom.
Need to meet a water buffalo? Tom.
Need to understand Vietnam? Tom.
We came to Hoi An as tourists and left feeling like Tom had personally adopted our family.
Absolute legend. Absolute superstar. Absolute national treasure.
Tom is Vietnam. 🇻🇳❤️
11/10. Five stars isn’t enough. Give this man the keys to Hoi An.
To put his sigma skibidi awesomeness in perspective: TOM

The best way to see Hoi An
This tour was brilliant! Tom was a fantastic guide who was so knowledgeable of the local area as it's his home. He was so accommodating of our group's needs. Cycling is a great way to take in the area and it was incredible to meet and ride a water buffalo! What a unique experience!
10 out of 10 would recommend this experience.

Must book when visiting ho an
Amazing experience!! Our tour guides were super friendly and spoke very good English. They communicated the pickup and drop off perfectly over WhatsApp. The buffalo experience was very unique and the coconut boats were relaxing. Would recommend booking with Tom the guide.

Nice bike ride.
Enjoyed the bike ride to and from the boat ride. During the boat ride we got to fish for crabs which was fun but difficult.

Great Time!
Had a great time, it was perfect way to get a quick, fun, and informative trip in without spending an entire day on my first day to Hoi An. My guide[Eriik] was super!

Great tour!
We had a great time on this tour! Our guide Tom was friendly and punctual and knew a lot about the local area. We especially enjoyed the peaceful coconut river boat ride (away from noisy karaoke boats) where we got to fish for lucky crabs.
