Highly recommend

We highly recommend Tommy Dao Tours to anyone visiting Vietnam! Tommy and Tee were absolutely fantastic – professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. From the moment we connected with them, everything was smooth and stress-free. They took us up to the stunning Ba Na Hills, then organized a beautiful cycle tour through the Hoi An countryside the next day. Every detail was taken care of – no hassle, just pure enjoyment. Tommy went above and beyond, showing us where to find the best banh mi, recommending excellent tailors, and even helping us arrange transport for other parts of our trip in Vietnam. If you're heading to Vietnam and want local expertise with top-notch service, book with Tommy Dao Tours!

We still talk about it now!

Biggest highlight of our family holiday! Went on 3 tours with Tommy, 1) Marble Mountains, Lady Buddha l 2) my Son Temples and 3) Countryside village tour in Hoi An. All were private tours. Tour guides were extremely welcoming, knowledgeable and willing to let us lead. Transport really comfortable. Biggest highlight for us was the village tour around hoi an. Tommy and his team picked us up on motorbikes which were so great to get around on. Our boys 8 and 10 loved it! Heading to people's homes to learn pottery, Matt making, noodle making and then onto a coconut boat fishing for crabs....we were so absorbed we forgot to take photos but Tommy had kindly snapped along the way and our faces showed how much we had enjoyed the day...we are still talking about it. Yes we could have ventured to these things on our own but the tours allowed us to enjoy a fuss free experience especiallywith the kids , learn heaps about the culture and get taken to the beach resturants! We will be back Tommy!!

Great Day Out

Took the Countryside Tour today in Hoi An with Tommy Dao. Our kids are 5 & 6 and had an absolute ball (as did us adults!) Pottery, Lantern Making, Rice Noodle making, Buffalo rides, Coconut boats finished off with a delicious lunch. Would not have been possible for us to do all this within a day had we have attempted it ourselves. Plus Tommy, not only great English giving us a run down of local sites in his airconditioned pride & joy but funny guy at the same time! 😆 Hopefully helpful for other families planning their trip, great value! Highly recommend

The best your agency in danang. 10/10 recommend!

I was recommended to Tommy and his tours did not disappoint. We did three private tours and added in some extras. I emailed asking for availability and he was quick to respond and easy to work with. The vehicles were so clean and air conditioned. His team of drivers and tour guides were amazing. Very knowledgeable and spoke great English. They were all so accommodating to our three young children. They have asked when we will see uncle Tommy again! We even had booked a tour with another agency but chose to cancel and only use Tommy’s services. For the HOI AN countryside tour we did fun activities for my children and Tommy made sure to help us with our youngest son so we could participate in all of the activities. We felt like we said goodbye to a friend when he took us to the airport. Cannot recommend his agency enough!

Dear Sarah and Family, Thank you so much for choosing our company for all private Tours and happy to hear Family had a wonderful time with our team & I. Your children are so cute and lovely. Looking forward to welcoming back in year 2026. Tommy & Team

Authentic experience. We chose not to do the small round boats but Tommy tailored the trip to suit our requests!

We had a great day today with Tommy Dao on the countryside tour with him. I would recommend him and this tour to anyone who would like to get out of the hustle and bustle and have a genuine experience of traditional farming and meet the locals. Tommy was incredibly flexible and tailored the tour to suit our needs (which I changed many times before deciding what I wanted haha) He picked us up from our hotel, took us to the pottery village where we tried our hand at making our own (it's harder than it looks lol), then a lantern making class which was really fun! Then a stop off for a foot massage which was soooo nice! From there we had a ride on a very well behaved big beautiful water buffalo thn went to an organic farming village and met the lovely friendly local farmers and helped plant things in the traditional way, it was a really nice experience! The last stop was at a lovely restaurant where we had the best Vietnamese meal we've had since we've been here, was delicious and plenty of it!!! And just to add a lovely touch to the end of our afternoon, it was cold so Tommy gifted me new scarf to keep me warm. So, thank you so much Tommy and if anyone was considering a tour like this message Tommy Dao you won't be disappointed 😁

Vietnam Vacation

Out of all the places we visited, this had to be one of the better places. Vietnam was great and our tour guide Phong made it that much better. He gave us tour information and took us to some personal markets. He assisted us with everything we need and was available to answer all our questions. We did a tour in Da Nang and we also went to the countryside of Hoi An. Everything exceeded our expectations and we plan in coming back with our family and friends. Big ups to Tommy Dao Tours and our personal tour guide Phong thank you for everything.

Operator response

Dear Alexis, We thank you so much for your excellent review of our company and the tours you went on. Our countryside tour is so much fun both for our guests and our guides. Our aim is to make all our guests happy and also to make some lasting great memories of our little part of Vietnam, so you will return. I will pass your nice words onto Phong. Again thanks for choosing Tommy Dao Tours.   Kind regards, Tommy Dao

Great day out!

Did the Hoi an country side tour organised by tommy dao. Great day out! Some suggestions for when people book their own tour. Pros: - As it was only myself and my husband we got to ride on the back of the guides scooters which was so fun and we saw so much without dealing with the heat of cycling. - Our guide NGoc and the second scooter driver, Nhon were great! NGoc’s English was great and she was so helpful (took us to the pharmacy to explain what we wanted etc). - Coconut boats and pottery making were cool - Restaurant that we went to was really nice food Cons: - Water buffalo riding was fun but we just went up and back in a field - would have liked to have been in a nicer setting - We went to a little farm to plant but was so small it felt like gardening in my back garden - really wanted to rice paddies experience

Dear Rosalie, Thank you for the suggestions, we will keep it in mind to get future customers on a different setting for the buffalo if requested. Safety considerations had also to be made for the farm area and unfortunately, this has restricted the size of the farm to smaller stakeholders. We hope that you will return and tour with us again but do contact us to tell us of your ideal visit. Regards, Tommy

Fantastic experience

Wanted to experience local area and culture. We did a private tour of the villages with our guide Lam, who was fantastic, his english was excellent as was his knowledge. We started at the pottery village, getting there early was great as very few tourists there, only saw another small group. Fascinating learning about the history of the village. We then moved onto a vegetable village where we helped plant crops the traditional way and had an impromptu musical performance from the farmers son on a tradional instrument. The buffalo ride was interesting, although being located next to a busy road lost a bit of authenticity. The water coconut village allowed us time to ride in the traditional round bamboo boats where we experienced traditional fishing methods. Lunch was sensational and lots of it. Overal, I would recommend this trip.

Dear Karratha, We are please that you had enjoyed our little adventure in country living. The rural playground of buffalo and boat rides together with farming methods, art of pottery are indeed a cultural experience still possible here. We are glad to have shared that with our English language proficient guid Lam. Our apologies for the advancement of time and progress that had unfortunately made the village next to a busy road. Let us take you again into an adventure in culture and rural living when you visit us the next time around keeping in mind that Tommy Dao will make it possible. Keep in touch We are contactable via FB, WhatsApp and remember to follow us on Instagram. Regards, Tommy

Truly memorable family experience seeing the real Vietnam

We took a motor cycle tour including local culture / farming experiences. Tommy was highly organized, communication very easy at all times which resulted in a hugely memorable day, involving so many activities for our family (inc 2 adult sons). 100% recommend this tour.

Operator response

Dear Dave and Sarnge, You have given us great pleasure to let us show you our beautiful country side. We are indeed delighted that it was a memorable day for your family. If only the days were longer we would have shown you more, but we are hopeful that we will meet again to share more of the sights, of our humble life, with all of you. We feel deeply appreciated by your family for our efforts. Thank you so much for making our day. Till we meet again, please take care and thank you so much for recommending us. Regards, Tommy & Team
