Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a great day with Tam, cycling through the paddy fields and savoring local delicacies. It was a wonderful opportunity and an experience to meet the locals in the village and learn about their trades. Tam gave us lots of insight and stories during the entire ride. All in all an enjoyable experience. "
"We had a great experience with Tam! He was very knowledgeable on all the flavors.. All 10 tastings were delicious. He was pleasant and helpful explaining all the ingredients. Would highly recommend "
"Thank you, Phuc for a truly fun and informative bike tour through Hoi An and it’s outskirts. We learned and saw so much of what makes Hoi An special, especially its vegetable farms and rice paddies. A most calming vibe that contrasts with the crowds of Old Town. And thanks as well as introducing us to salted coffee, a most delicious revelation! "
"A perfect day trip outside the city and a lovely getaway into the countryside. Tam was so friendly and approachable, and being with him made the whole day feel unhurried—time truly slowed down in the best way. We visited farmers and local makers, discovering places we never would have found on our own. This is definitely a memory I’ll keep forever."
"We absolutely loved our street food tour of Hoi An with Tam! It was perfectly paced (ages 8 - 80) and Tam took us to areas and foodie places we'd never have found otherwise! There was so much tasty food so definitely eat lightly beforehand. Lots of little pieces of knowledge about Hoi An were also really interesting and made the tour so much more than just about the food. We also noted lots of other foodie recommendations for the rest of our stay. If you are looking for a local guide to Hoi An, Tam is your man! "
"Tam took my husband and I for a bike tour through rice fields and quiet residential enclaves. We would not have ventured that far if not for him. My husband and I were a little rusty on the bikes but Tam was very patient and kept us safe. "
"We had the most amazing experience with Tam. The selection of food and drink were excellent. It was also very fluid - we didnt feel like we were part of a guided tour with preplanned stops. He adapted locations as we went due to floods in the city, our preferences, and what made sense next. All along the way, he explained some history, specific things about Hoi An, and shared some personal stories. At the end we even tried noodles from his family's restaurant which was delicious. Very friendly, great guide, and great experience. The best way to discover a city is through food. Thank you Tam"
"My mum and myself booked a tour with Thao. She was able to accommodate a vegetarian request for my mum. Thao is knowledgeable about food and her familiarity with the food vendors made the session even more enjoyable. Our tour ended at the Old Town. Thao took the time to bring me to the bridge to get a boat ride. Highly recommended!"
"Tam tailored a great journey for us (4 adults) for my husband’s 66th birthday. He was not keen on too much biking and really interested in local boats, their building techniques and engines, so Tam organised a short bike to a local boat that took up to a fishing village with traditional boat builders, wood workers, mat weavers and mother of pearl inlay and wood carving artisans. We conversed with (thru Tam) about their history, techniques, raw materials, and the future of their traditional way of life and skills. Bikes were a bit small for our group of tall humans (5’10-6’5)! But they were fine for the short cycle distances. Booking was problematic and confusing but once booked, direct communication with Tam over WhatsApp got things sorted. Highly recommend Tam as a great tour guide. "
"Thao was such a marvelous host! From the start till the end she was so enthousiastic and knew exactly what we would like. Thao is rightly proud, and happy to share, tell and show all the lovely places. We ate so many diverse styles of streetfood! Thank you so much for your kindness, your great energy and your hospitality we LOVED it. And will everyone to try this tour with Thao!"
