We all enjoyed the tour and learnt a lot about the history of the Old Town. Tom was an excellent tour guide.
AMAZING AMAZING ... WOW . We learned so much from Nhat. It was so hot but he stayed fresh and enthusiastic . This is our 2nd time to Hoi An and this tour took us to places we didnt see or know about previously. I could not reccommmend this tour more . Thank you Nhat !!!
Beautiful room, delicious breakfast, gorgeous decor especially the tiles, wonderful pool and the most BEAUTIFUL staff . I highly reccommend
We had a wonderful tour with Tom. He took us to many temples and old sites in the old town. He recommended some great food and drinks places too. A great experience thanks Tom
I booked this tour an hour before and they were so lovely at accommodating me last minute. We had Sun as our tour guide and he was fantastic. Not only a knowledgeable guide but talented entertainer who was quick with a joke and always smiling. You know you have a great tour guide when the locals give him props along the way. Left with a lot more insight on not only Old Town but Vietnamese culture. Worth every penny.
Kun was an excellent guide and made my walk through the streets of Hoi An one of the highlights of my trip. She is an absolute hustler who clearly loves sharing her city with visitors. Her knowledge of Hoi An’s history, culture, and traditions brought every street and building to life, and the fun stories she shared made the experience even more memorable. She was warm, engaging, and happy to answer every question along the way. Beyond the tour itself, she provided fantastic recommendations for local food, coffee, and places to explore that I would never have found on my own. Without this walking tour, I probably would have simply wandered through the beautiful streets without truly understanding what I was seeing. Thanks to Kun, I gained a much deeper appreciation for Hoi An and its unique character. I highly recommend booking a tour with her if you want an authentic, insightful, and enjoyable experience.
Anh was a very nice guide, super friendly and she knows the city very well
We have had a very good time with our tour guide, he explained everything very good and was friendly , we recommend 100% to do the tour with him!’
