We had a blast of a time - Well when I landed in Vietnam I didn't think I would be riding a buffalo or floating down a river in a hand made basket but I did and it was fantastic. We did so many things while in Vietnam but these two were some of the most memorable. Great job Andy. See you next year

Hoi An - We had an incredible tour with our guide, Mr. Kong. The tour through all the villages was one my family and I will remember forever. My children ages 11, 10, 8 and 6 can sometimes be a tough crowd, but Mr. Kong was able to keep them engaged through the whole trip. They enjoyed every part of it. In fact, of all the tours we did while traveling through Vietnam, this one was their favorite. They especially liked the hands on farming experience!

Countryside visit - This was booked as a last minute half day tour. We were picked up at our hotel in a very comfortable car and taken first for a buffalo ride and then visited the countryside to see the local small producers and invited to lend a hand and discover how they produce their herbs and vegetables with no chemicals and enjoyed a cup of tea with the owners. We were at the height of the corona virus and some visits had to be postponed but alternatives were found and we had a very interesting afternoon with excellent guide. Would recommend .

My Vietnam adventures - Today I did this tour with Andy and was really enjoyable. Seen how the locals farm & make their pottery. He also organised a lantern making class which was fun and great place to purchase extras for family & friends. Thank you again Andy Tours

A wonderful learning experience - We were lucky enough to have Andy organise us a half day tour of Hoi An and small villages to experience the real Viet lifestyle. Rice paper making, boat building, sleep mat weaving, farming and fishing. Only booked late the night prior, the tour was first class. Picked up from our hotel, a knowledgeable guide Mr Lee showed us the highlights, flexible in the experience given everyone’s prep for the Lunar New Year. We were then able to enjoy a walking tour of Old Hoi An, finishing the tour in a restaurant trying the local foods. Highly recommended.

Excellent half day tour - Great way to spend a morning. Andy is a great guide and very knowledgeable. He took photos and videos throughout which was a nice touch. Started with a water buffalo ride and ended with a meal with a local family with a hands on visit to a local farmer, an entertaining basket boat ride and visit to a pottery demonstration in between. We really enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend. Thank you Andy for some amazing memories.

EXCELLENT TOUR - Our first day in Da Nang was picked up promptly as arranged. Tasted the street food in Hoi an. Excellent Banh mi the best I’ve eaten our guide Mr Key was so accommodating and very knowledgeable. Mentioned to Andy that it was my birthday that day and he went out of his way to makemy day so special at the end of the trip had flowers and coffee. The Hoi an experience is so magical and highly recommended. In the afternoon the town turned into an awesome sight with all the lanterns are lit. Could not get enough of this town. Andy Tours thank so much for all our 3 days tour. Ba na hills and Golden bridge was a bucket list fulfilled. Thank you to our tour guide Mr. Lam for sharing all your knowledge even the funny stories about the king and his ladies during our Hue City tour. I have travelled so many places and this tour is one of the best. From initial contact with Andy who responded to every question promptly and professionally. I will seek your services again for sure. Thank you also to our best drivers Mr Sy and Mr. No. ANDY TOURS IS THE BEST!
