Great experience , highly recommended - Really enjoyed all activities. Good laughs and nice memories. We did some amazing photos. My favorites were the farming and latern making. The buffalo ride is easy and fun. The basket boat tour has a lot of surprises, but try bring small change with you to tip - there is some acrobatic show at a certain point Our day was also great thanks to our guide who provided a lot of explanations and also to our driver.

Fantastic Day - This tour was terrific from start to finish. Andy was a very knowledgeable and patient guide. It would be hard to say what my favorite part was. All of the things we did were so different from one another. I enjoyed seeing a more traditional side of Vietnam. I highly recommend this tour.

Enjoyable tour - It was a very enjoyable tour. I go to Hoi An from time to time, but I can only stroll around on my own, so a tour is the best option.

Well organized, knowledgeable and very helpful! - We booked a private tour with Andy from 28 Dec - 30 Dec. We needed a chinese speaking guide and Tranh was absolutely fantastic - he's knowledgeable and especially patient with my two boys when they got cranky. Travelling in a family with 2 young ones in tow sometimes require some adjustments and he did just that. The tours were excellent, and Tranh gave us a lot of interesting information - about the history, geography and cultural aspects of Da Nang, Hoi An and Ba Na (na :D) hills. Itinerary: Day 1 Evening: Da Nang Food Tour. After that Tranh brought us to the river side to take beautiful pictures of the Dragon Bridge. Day 2: Hoi An - basket boat, buffalo ride, pottery village visit, vegetable farming. Ancient city of Hoi An and a boat ride to see the lanterns. Day 3: Ba Na Hills, Golden Bridge Highlights: Basket boat was really fun and an eye opening to the lives of the boatmen in Da Nang. The children absolutely loved the vegetable farming experience - a must go for city folks.
