Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. Regarding the pickup time, we had informed guests in advance that the pickup would be between 3:00 PM – 3:30 PM. However, during this time, you were away having lunch, which caused a delay for the group. As this is a group tour, unfortunately the waiting time cannot be extended too long as it would affect the schedule of other guests. We also appreciate your comments regarding the vehicle condition, air conditioning and tour guide. We will share this feedback with our operating team to review and improve the service quality for future tours. Thank you again for your understanding and valuable feedback.
I enjoyed the cosy Hoi An experience. The coconut boats were cute. The rides were safe and fun. Do try the coconut boat spin, so much fun. The dinner was simple and ok. You get to experience Hoi An at night. Beautiful lanterns everywhere.
Thank u so much for chosing Dimotrip on this trip See you again in Da Nang
The guide was nice, but his English is very bad. But the worst think was the dinner. The city is beautiful.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the city beautiful and that our guide was friendly. We sincerely apologize if the guide’s English did not meet your expectations — we will take your comments into consideration to improve our service. We’re also sorry that the dinner did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is very valuable, and we will review and improve this part of the experience.

Thank u so much for chosing Dimotrip on this trip See you again in Viet Nam
The preparation was unclear. The booking confusing and seemed strange. We added Marble mountain, and the booking stated pickup from our hotel, but the operator wanted $10 more they asked for through whatsapp since it was out of their area, despite our hotel being a 10 minute walk deom the tour site... then they claimed we had to pay for the elevator and had to wait 30 minutes to decide it was in fact included. The first stop... literally 100 meter drive was to sit for another 20 minutes for shopping.... the guide has hard to understand and didnt communicate enough so it was always confusing. Finally at the Basket boats, it was well run and more fun than we expected. Dinner was a disappointment and the guide didnt know where it was so we had ro walk a few blocks to finally get there....
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that some parts of the experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few points. Regarding the $10 surcharge, this was applied because your hotel is located outside of our standard pickup area. Although it is close to the Old Town, you selected the option that includes Marble Mountains, which is approximately 30–40 km away from the main operating route. We would like to emphasize that: The surcharge policy was clearly stated in the booking details. We informed you again immediately after your reservation. You confirmed and agreed to the additional fee before the tour took place. For this reason, the surcharge was applied transparently and in accordance with our policy. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the basket boat experience, as this is often a highlight for many guests. At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the confusion you experienced with communication and the dinner arrangements. Your comments have been shared with our team so we can improve coordination and clarity moving forward. Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us continue improving our service. We hope to have another chance to provide you with a smoother and more enjoyable experience in the future.
Trinh was our guide for this tour, and she was fantastic!! Our first stop was a boat ride in the coconut forest. All the operators of these boats are so much fun; their energy is incredible, their enthusiasm is contagious, and they just make for a really good time. If you don't get dizzy too easily, I highly recommend spending a few dollars and getting spun around on a bigger boat. Definitely a great experience. We were given Vietnamese hats to wear, and umbrellas to use, which kept the sun off of us. The round trip through the forest took about 45 minutes. Then we were off to Ancient Town. Trinh was very knowledgeable, and took us to all the best spots. She let us take our time and browse in whatever stores struck our fancy. The included dinner was delicious, catering to our dietary needs. Everything about our experience was excellent. Trinh made is so interesting and enjoyable. Great way to see Hoi An and the coconut forest. Thank you!!

it was a wonderful experience. The tour guide Hiep Pham Van was very professional and knowledgeable. He was very helpful and showed empathy with everything he did and said. He made sure that everyone's needs are taking care off including culture and background.

So overall it was enjoyable with my group. The activities were fun and touristy, the food was good (basically chicken noodle soup) and plentiful and I’m happy i did it. My review is so low because at the coconut boat place it wasn’t what I was expecting. It was all beautiful and then when you go to do the spinning boat thing and they collect money (100,000 not an issue) I only had a big bill of 500000 and was given back 300000.. I was kind of baffled.. did he mess up his count? Can I not do math? It felt intentional but I let it be. We were already floating towards this “boat show” so i couldn’t say anything. It was just the boat company people on a boat with a huge speaker barely singing but looking for tips. There was auto tune and two songs playing across like 6 different floating boats.. it was just weird and doesn’t feel necessary. So my problem is the boat tour and not the people who picked me up
Thank you very much for sharing your detailed feedback with us. We’re really glad to hear that overall you enjoyed the tour, the activities, and the food, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to explain your concerns. Regarding the coconut boat experience, we’d like to clarify the payment to avoid any misunderstanding. The spinning basket boat fee is 100,000 VND per person, not per boat. As there were two people on one basket boat, the total amount collected was 200,000 VND, so receiving 300,000 VND back from a 500,000 VND bill was actually the correct change. We sincerely believe this was a counting misunderstanding rather than an intentional issue, and we’re very sorry that it caused confusion and discomfort during your experience. As for the “boat show” and singing, this is an optional local entertainment activity organized by the basket boat operators, and tipping is completely voluntary. We understand that this part may not match everyone’s expectations, and your feedback is absolutely valid. Please rest assured that this activity is independent from our pickup team and tour organization, and we’ll make sure to explain it more clearly to future guests so expectations are better aligned. Once again, thank you for your honesty. Your feedback helps us improve communication and guest experience, and we truly hope to have the chance to welcome you again for an even better experience next time. 🌿
