Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"This was a great way to experience Hoi An and Tam was a great guide! "
"Our family loved Thao’s food tour. Thao took us to a whole range of different places - including street stalls, houses and restaurants, we tried lots of different food and learned more about the food, culture and people. Thao was a great communicator and great fun to spend time with. "
"We had a great time with Phuc trying all the local food from Hoi An. All the food was amazing and Phuc was very knowledgable and passionate. We would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Hoi An. "
"This bike tour with Tam was one of the highlights of my time in Vietnam. The experience was fantastic from start to finish, and I always felt safe and comfortable cycling through a variety of landscapes and local roads. What I loved most was that the tour captured exactly what I wanted to see. We rode through countryside, explored unique paths away from the crowds, visited local creative communities, and learned about traditional ways of life. Seeing the vegetable farms and hearing the stories behind the local communities gave me a much deeper appreciation for the area. And of course, spotting so many water buffalo along the way was a real highlight. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience the heart of the region beyond the usual tourist attractions. Thank you Tam. "
"Thuy was a wonderful guide and 2 hours flew by. We visited a variety of tourist sights and several that we would never have found. Thuy was also a great conversationalist and we covered all sorts of.topics from modern history, family rituals, food recommendations and so much more."
"We had a wonderful experience exploring Hoi An with Thuy and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting the city. Thuy is knowledgeable, engaging, and speaks excellent English, making it very easy to communicate and ask questions throughout the tour. She shared fascinating insights about Hoi An’s history, culture, local traditions, and everyday life in Vietnam, which made the experience much more meaningful than simply walking around the city. We were traveling with our two young children, and Thuy was incredibly patient, thoughtful, and helpful. She even assisted with our stroller and was very attentive to the children’s needs and moods throughout the tour. When the heat became a bit too much for the little ones, she kindly adapted the experience and joined us in a café, where she continued telling us about Hoi An, local life, and Vietnamese culture in a relaxed and enjoyable setting. What impressed us most was how flexible and caring she was. Rather than sticking rigidly to a plan, she made sure the tour worked for our family and that everyone felt comfortable. Thank you, Thuy, for a memorable and enjoyable experience. We learned a lot, had a great time, and would not hesitate to book another tour with you in the future. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "
"Thao was very knowledgeable and entertaining! Tried some local dishes in people's houses which we would never have had the courage to experience on our own. "
"Thuy was so knowledgeable and interesting. We loved each spot we visited and would have never have discovered these gems if not for Thuy. "
"Thuy was an outstanding guide with encyclopaedic knowledge of Vietnamese and local history She introduced us to many things that you would not find online"
"Our 5 hour tour of Hoi An with Thuy was a great introduction to the special town. We were shown aspects of the town with explanations along with the history behind it which are lacking on any DIY attempt. It's one thing to simply go and see, it's a whole other deal when you go with someone like Thuy. A truly lovely 'local' lady who no doubt loves her town and it shows through her passion and genuine excitement to introduce it to others. If you want a great grounding of Hoi An, then Thuy is your lady!"
