          Fantastic walking tour of old Hoi An
          Very experienced, knowledgeable and kind guide. We saw all the highlights and as it was a private tour, spent more time where we were most interested, a very relaxed morning.

          Day trip to Hue from Hoi An
          Full day tour from Hoi An. The views from Hai Van pass were great then a nice stop at Lap an logoon for short visit to fishing village and coffee break. Then onto Hue to visit the impressive Citadel. Lunch was really good. Finally to pagoda and royal tomb before heading home. Both our guides were informative and helpful.

          nothing special
          The places visited were not so exciting. The guide talked a lot, often in the full sun. The van used for transport was uncomfortable. The trip was too long for me.

          Excellent Tour and Guide
          The tour was good. The pickup was timely, and the Guide explained everything in detail. We are vegetarians, and they provided a good vegetarian lunch in the restaurant. The guide explained everything in detail and answered all our questions. I highly recommend it.

          Hoi An old town and food walking tour
          Kim did a great job giving us a walking tour of Hoi An. She told us about the history of the city and showed us several different sites including a temple and the Japanese bridge. Kim knew a lot of the history. Also along the way we stopped at various places to sample the local food. We tried a tea, spring rolls and Banh mi. Great all around tour of Hoi An!

          Recommended - but be prepared for a long day.
          Recommended - but be prepared for a long day. This was a terrific tour, but it does take about 12 hours all up (when doing it out of Hoi An) so be prepared for a very full day. But that aside, the tour was great and very informative. The trip to Hue (plus the various stops along the way) was great and gave a real insight into some of the culture, living standards and history of Vietnam. Definitely worth taking.

          Nothing special but a booking confirmation problem
          Booking problem: I booked the tour through a social networking app called Zalo and contacted the manager personally. Everything was booked and I even checked to confirm the trip the day before, but on the scheduled day - No Show. The manager didn't even pick up when I tried to call her but later that day she got in touch and it was rearranged the next day. Luckily I was able to rearrange my plans to fit it in. Highlight: The tour guide Trang kept the trip interesting. She was hospitable, caring and good at time management to make sure we got back on time and that there was no wasted time hanging out around or that we stayed at place for too long. Disappointments: The lunch could have been specialties of Hue like Bun Bo Hue or something else from Hue but instead it was a general asian meal. It wasn't bad but I would have liked to have tried food from Hue. The places you visit, for me, weren't anything special or interesting, a tomb, a pagoda and a huge ancient old palace but I can't blame the tour operator for that!

          Fantastic Hoi An Tour with a Unique Coffee Experience!
          Our Christmas trip from South to North Vietnam was made truly unforgettable thanks to this amazing tour! My partner, two friends, and I had an incredible time exploring Hoi An’s rich history and culture with our wonderful guide, Kim. She took us to fascinating sites, including the Fukian Assembly Hall, Old House of Phung Hung, the Sa Huynh Culture Museum, and the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge. Kim was full of interesting stories and insights, making our wander through the charming old town even more special. A highlight of the tour was visiting a delightful silk store where we learned all about the silk-making process—from seeing real silk worms to how silk is transformed into beautiful art pieces and clothing. It was captivating! Being coffee lovers, we were thrilled when Kim brought us to an amazing coffee school run by the inspiring ONGVANGCHARITY.org. The passionate team shared fascinating insights about Vietnamese coffee history (did you know Vietnam is the world’s second-largest coffee exporter?) and guided us through brewing techniques. We loved trying traditional drip coffee, egg coffee, and our new favorite—coconut coffee! Kim’s enthusiasm and deep knowledge perfectly combined history, culture, and delicious coffee experiences. We can’t recommend her and this private tour highly enough. Don’t miss it—it’s a must-do in Hoi An!

          Amazing Local Food and Tour
          Thank you, Thai for your time and showing me around the Old Town in Hoi An. I have enjoyed and learned about the culture and the place throughout the tour. Thai had also been generous and surprised me with yummy biscuits and mandarins. Appreciate Your hospitality and warm company. I highly recommend this tour with Thai.

          Stunning Hoi An by day and night
          You can clearly see that there has been a major change in this country leadership. The new people in charge are recognizing the power of the tourist dollar and the influence it has on this beautiful country and its citizens. You can clearly see the improvement of infrastructure in this little town and we have been visiting frequently over the past 7 years. Hoi An is booming and quality of hotels, transportation and restaurants has made a huge impact on this town. I’m so happy to see that the people of Vietnam are going well since they work very hard. The ancient town had gotten even more vibrant and beautiful. Not only during the day but even in the evening the streets are filled with tourists wanting to explore this amazing place. I really enjoy the addition of all the food carts in old town offering traditional food options and cocktails at very reasonable prices. The shops are open late to accommodate the tourists after they enjoyed their fabulous dinner… I love Hoi An…

          Great Tour to Hue
          This trip was just amazing. Our guide and driver were fantastic and not only did we get a great history lesson but saw so many amazing sites all in one day. It wasn’t a rushed experience and we had time to take it all in. Highly recommend this tour for anyone with a family and teenagers.

          Hue City
          A great day trip to Hue, visiting 3 sites of the ancient city. Lunch was nice. Tom, our tour guide was quite knowledgeable as a local from Hue. Something I haven't seen mentioned in previous reviews. The road to Hue is over some mountain passes. If prone to motion sickness, take an anti-nauseant pill. If you have children with you, take a sick bag (a little girl got sick on our tour but her parents were very prepared!). The weather was rainy, and some surfaces were tile, which can be quite slippery. Take your time navigating safely. We were given water at the end of the tour, it would have been nice to have been given that at the start. Recommended for those wanting more information about Vietnam history.
