Family Tour of Hoi An - The tour by Henry was fascinating. He gave us a tour of Hoi An ranging from temples and the Japanese Bridge, to the food market and the best coconut coffee in town. His historical knowledge of Vietnam, and most places in general, is amazing. We took breaks when we needed, had a few local snacks and had a great time.
He was friendly, informative and I highly recommend you take a tour with him!

Great Walking the old city - Henry took us on an walk around the old Hoi An city. As a local he shared many stories about his family and life growing up in the city. It was hot and Henry was happy for us to set the pace, take a rest and stop to take photos. Would recommend this walking tour to anyone who is interested in the history of Hoi An from a locals perspective.

The best guide in Hoian An - I’m a tour guide and come to Hoian with groups. I booked Henry twice- for a bicycle tour and also for the Hoi An city tour. This is a very nice, professional and excellent English speaking guide. He is also very kind and helpful, even after the tour you can contact him and ask some questions. When I come back to Hoian I will always contact him, because he is one of the best guides I have in Vietnam.

Lovely tour and tour guide Thanh - Our tour guide Thanh was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Hoi An. He was very personable and patient with us two older ladies who walk a little slower. His English was very good and we had many nice conversations with him. The tour was great as we visited sites we would not have noticed on our own. We recommend Thanh and this tour.

Nice overview of Old City Hoi An - Henry is a knowledgeable tour guide and speaks English very well. His tour of Hoi An took us to places we otherwise would not have seen. It is an excellent overview to a beautiful and historic city.
I'm not sure if it is his personality or his dry sense of humor, but he comes off as a little less engaging than other tour guides we've had in Vietnam. He certainly knows his stuff, but answers to questions seem very business-like as in "just the facts, ma'am," and less as chatty tour guide.
