Fantastic Experiences in Vietnam
Duc and his Team are amazing professionals. From the first contact, Duc took time to understand my requests for a custom tour, he went above and beyond to make sure every detail was thought of, and he provided me with lots of reassurance and guidance to help me plan a special day of proposing to my girlfriend. He and his team also handled tours for our family to Ba Na Hills and Hoi An, and airport transfers. Duc and his team were very responsive on whatsapp, they are always on time, they have reliable transport options and make a real effort to show you the best of vietnam and make sure you have a good time. I'd highly recclommend Duc for tours in Vietnam :)

Thank you so much for your review, Daniel! ❤️🙏
It was a real pleasure helping you and your family during your time in Vietnam — from your private My Son Sanctuary tour and special proposal day, to Ba Na Hills & Golden Bridge, the Hoi An countryside and Ancient Town tour, and your private airport transfers in Da Nang.
We're especially happy everything worked out beautifully for the proposal. It was an honor to be a small part of such a special moment. 😊
Sending lots of love from Vietnam to you both and the family! ❤️🇻🇳 Hope to see you again someday!

Amazing, beyond our expectations
Amazing roads with great scenery, great local food & snack stops. Really peaceful and adventurous at the same time. Duc is really knowledgeable and a great person to interact with. We had long discussions on history of the place and Vietnam in general. He made our trip really exceptional, much beyond our expectations.
Operator response
Thanks so much, brother! It was awesome spending those three days riding through Central Vietnam together. I’m really glad you enjoyed the mountain roads, local food, hidden spots, and all of our chats about Vietnam’s history and culture. It’s always great meeting travelers who are just as curious about the country as I am.
Hope we’ll ride together again someday! Until then, your review will help other travelers discover our 3-day Central Vietnam motorbike tour, authentic local experiences, and off-the-beaten-path adventures with NGUYEN Tours.

Local Vietnam on a Motorbike
Had a great day with Duc. We did a motorbike tour to My Son Sanctuary with my son on the back of Duc's bike and I had my own bike. It turned out to be a great adventure and plenty of fun. Recommended to anyone looking for something different and want to see the real local Vietnam.

Thank you so much for your honest and valuable feedback 😊
We’re really happy to hear that you had an amazing experience and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
Thank you as well for pointing out the trekking conditions — that’s a very helpful note. Some trekking routes in Sapa can indeed be a bit rough and natural, and your feedback helps us do a better job preparing future guests more clearly in advance.
We’re glad the experience was still enjoyable overall for the last 9 days. Hope to welcome you back to Vietnam again for another journey — perhaps with a different style of adventure next time 🌿⛰️

Myson Tour
Duc took me on his Champa tour while I was staying at his property. During my stay, he was incredible in helping me to understand Vietnamese life, culture, history and heritage.
Duc is creative and a ‘wise for his age’ country guy at heart, he is proud and passionate about his country, it’s history and he is a natural philosopher. He rides a chunky motorbike and he was particularly cautious in ensuring that I felt safe on our adventure.
Duc took me on his trip to My Son Sanctuary. I learned a lot is out the Champa people, their origins, connection to Vietnam and Vietnamese life and how the Sanctuary connects to world history.
This was followed by a really yummy lunch at a local eatery where Duc continued to enthusiastically answer my questions about his country.
I really enjoyed my tour with Duc and I highly recommend him as a tour guide if you would like a very genuine and down to earth experience in Vietnam.
