Amazing not to be missed tour with great guide - Hao and his tour company are just exceptional. He came early to our hotel to pick us up in a brand new air conditioned SUV with driver. We went to the Marble Mountains and Hao seems to know every nook and cranny of this attraction! He took great photos with of us here. Then we went to a water coconut farm where we got a very nice foot massage, cooked Viatnamese dishes which we enjoyed for lunch with other dishes. Finally we had a 3/4 hr boat ride in the infamous round wooden boats. Our boatwoman was a hoot. We went to a silk factory to briefly see how silk is made and then made our own lanterns. Finally we went to Hoi A where we walked around this historic town, entered temples and a Chinese trader’s house, and enjoyed bahn mi at a restaurant popularized by Anthony Bourdain. Hao was a terrific and highly experienced guide. His English communication skills are outstanding. He was also very intuituve in knowing when we needed a break or sending we wanted to move along etc. He bought us rice paper rolls in the market to bring home and really attended to us. We would definitely tour with Hao again!

Great day trip to Hoi An and beyond - Our family took a day trip to Hoi A with Mr Truong and Mr Tai, which was fantastic. From the bamboo boat and cooking experience to the tour through Ancient city, we had a wonderful time and learned a lot. Visiting Hai Van pass on the way was a highlight.

Relaxed and Enjoyable personalised day trip to My Son and Hoi An - I kicked off 2026 with a day trip to My Son and Hoi An from Danang. This is a private and personalised day trip. Mr Vinh, my friendly and knowledgeable tour buddy, guided me through the history, key highlights and lesser-known facts for both places. He is also extremely pleasant and accommodating, ensuring the tour is tailored to my travel style. We started at 11 am, and Mr Hung (responsible for driving us) turned up on time with Mr Vinh. We visited My Son and proceeded to Hoi An, just in time for lunch. We spent the afternoon enjoying the city from noon until evening, just in time to see Hoi An come to life with the spectacular lanterns on full display. The trip felt easy, safe and very enjoyable. Mr Hung drove us back to Da Nang safely at 7:30 pm. A special thank you to Ms Gia Linh, the travel expert who made it all happen.

Hoi An tour - The tour we had with Mr. Tran was wonderful - we learnt so much from him about the history and culture around Hoi An, and was so welcoming of questions. We had a bike tour and cooking class with this company, which was an amazing experience, and let me see Hoi An in a whole new light. A truly wonderful experience, helped by the wonderful guide.

Review of Da Nang Day Tour - We had a wonderful time on our Da Nang tour yesterday. Our driver, Mr. Hao, and our tour guide, Mr. Quy, both made sure that we were comfortable and relaxed throughout the day. Mr. Quy was very informative in describing the sites and explaining how they pertain to the culture and history of Vietnam. Lunch was great, and we were made to feel like we were hanging out with family. Marble Mountain, Lady Budda, and Hoi An Ancient City are all amazing to visit and great photo opportunities. We strongly recommend this tour.

Great day overall but not everything the itinerary states - Our tour guide was Quy, who was great with information about the areas we visited, happy to answer any questions, patient with our energetic boys and helped us with recommendations for shopping places. We strolled around Hoi An at a leisurely pace. It was recommended that Hoi A be done first due to the traffic and heat and although we were ok with this, it did mean that we didn’t get to experience the night markets and the theatre that was mentioned in the itinerary. The Basket boats were very touristy and I don’t believe how they were explained in the itinerary is what we did. My boys were disappointed about the fishing component as they got small fishing implements in the last 5 minutes of the basket boat ride, again not how it was described. The cooking class was great and we all thoroughly enjoyed this component of the tour. Lunch between what we had cooked and extra that was provided was tasty and very filling. Lastly the lantern making was a fun activity. It was slightly disappointing that the itinerary was not as described but the day was still enjoyable as a whole and our guide was great.
