"That was great. Because it was very hot she recommended changing the time which we were glad she did. We went to loads of places we never would have gone and tried foods we didn't know about. There was also a local drink which turned out to be delicious and refreshing. Also learned heaps along the way. Choose Thao for your food tour."
"We booked this tour very last minute, and we’re so glad we did!
Thuy is a truly Thoughtful, Humorous, Unpretentious, and Youthful soul, with a burst of knowledge that made the experience even more memorable. She was engaging, genuine, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the tour. We absolutely loved our time with her!"
"That is our second time with Tony in Da Nang and we our counting the days to have a next experience!
Tony shares incredible local knowledge and bring all the kids along during all the tour.
It is a 10 out of 10! "

Thào’s the best 💜
"We had such a lovely time with Thào. She was an absolute delight, so warm, sweet and caring, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local food, history and culture.
She really listened to what we wanted from our private tour and took us to all these amazing local places that we would never have found ourselves. We loved hearing her stories and learning more about Vietnam through her.
We even got caught in a little storm towards the end 😂 but honestly, we were having such a great time with Thao that we didn’t really care!
We enjoyed spending time with her so much that we’re already planning to book another experience with her while we’re here. Couldn’t recommend her more! 💜"
"Thuy was fantastic. It was so hot at the time we did our tour but she kept finding cool places for us to sit and learn from her. Her knowledge of HoiAn and its history was inspiring . We did the Hidden Gems tour and she gave us so many tips for the rest of our holiday !!! Thank you Thuy "
"We had a great food tour in Da Nang with Mun! We got to try lots of delicious local food and discover some dishes we probably wouldn’t have found on our own. Mun was a great guide with lots of knowledge about the local food and culture, and she was happy to share so many interesting insights with us. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this tour!"
"We were a group of 9, where only 2 people could speak English and work as translators to the rest of the team — which of course was a bit of additional challenge for Tony. But he handled it gracefully! We had fun time on traditional fishing boats, even sang some karaoke, and then had a walk/drive around Hoi A main spots. It was a lot of fun learning about history of this city and all transformations it went thought.
Overall, we are very happy with our experience and would totally recommend it for any size of the group. Tony is a star and an excellent professional, he will seamlessly take care of all small details, so you can enjoy and explore."
