ホイアンのベストツアーガイド - The day we went to the tour was a rainy day, but John customised the tour for us and entertained us through the day. He took us to the old cultural villages and let us try some activities including rice noodle making. Surprisingly, my husband loved fresh rice noodles! Basket boat was super fun even in the rain, and I loved the coffee from the coffee roaster - John remembered that we mentioned coffee when we spoken to him before booking. Especially, if you don't have many days in Hoi An but want to maximise your experience, I definitely recommend John. ツアーのガイドは英語ですが、ジョンの英語は聞き取りやすくとても分かりやすく説明してくれます。限られた時間のなかでホイアンの地元グルメ、コーヒーとローカルアクティビティを楽しみたい方に是非お勧めします。

Fantastic experience - The tour was fantastic, seeing the local life in Hoi An and how all of the local products are made was amazing. I particularly loved that they let us try our hand at working the crafts that the locals were doing.

Family tours in Hoi An - Great Experience with John! We went in October 2025 with family (2 kids of 5 and 8 years old) on two tours in the surroundings of Hoi An: first day fishing and coconut forest, second day cycling. The experiences are fun but the best is how John is good at connecting with kids and entertaining them. Everything feels very safe and spontaneous. Thanks John

A Fantastic Food Walking Tour - We had the most amazing evening on our walking food tour with Hoang! He’s an absolute wealth of knowledge and such a wonderful person to be around. You simply wouldn’t discover the best local food spots without a guide like him to navigate the hidden back streets. We enjoyed five delicious food stops — each one offering something different and truly authentic. The walk through the bustling night markets was full of colour and energy, and to finish the evening, a peaceful boat cruise where we made wishes and released lanterns on the river — such a beautiful, memorable experience. If you’re visiting, don’t miss this tour. Hoang made it unforgettable!

Best tour yet - Lanh was our tour guide & we had the very best tour we’ve had in Vietnam so far. We visited Hoi An old town on a walking tour which was very interesting. Went to the pottery village, woodworking, rice paper & noodle making, saw some silk worms & watched the ladies create beautiful pictures from silk thread. We also had a ride in a basket boat. Such a unique experience. Lanh took us to a lovely quiet restaurant for an authentic Vietnamese lunch which was very yummy. Overall it was an excellent tour & Lanh is a wonderful guide.

John, connecting you to Vietnam. - John provided us with a very personalised tour. Cruising on bicycles and chatting through the back blocks of Hoi An is a wonderful way to see and experience Vietnam. His knowledge and conversational tone made it very easy to take in the information he was able to impart. His focus was on us and providing us with the best experience he could possibly provide; he delivered in spades. His goal is to be the best he can be so that we could have the most memorable time. He went over and above. If you really want to experience Hoi An look him up. We would've booked him for multiple days if we had more time. Fair dinkum, a great tour guide. Thanks again John.
