Hoi An Walking tour with John - John was a great guide! Spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable about the history and traditions. He was flexible to stay at areas longer if we wanted to or detour. He gave us suggestions for food places and activities and where to book them. We would highly recommend any tour with John.

Great Hoi An Tour - This is our first time visiting Vietnam and in particular Hoi An. How lucky were we to have John from John Lee Tours • Quảng Nam as our private tour guide for an afternoon street tour. John has a wealth of knowledge and passion for his home town. His enthusiasm and personality certainly made it an enjoyable experience. John took time to take photos for us many times during the tour so that we would remember the experience. We would highly recommend booking a tour with him when in Hoi An.

A Knowledgeable and Intimate Experience - John (Hoang) helped guide my family and I through Old Town, Hoi An with great eagerness and enthusiasm. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the history around town and provided great in depth explanations. John also has a great understanding of group dynamics and made sure that each individual is accommodated and included!! I especially appreciate that while there was no "set" time limit, he never pushed us to leave and made sure to explain all the shops and items that my family took the time to browse. I would absolutely recommend John to give your private group an intimate and knowledgeable experience. P.S... As a bit of a "hidden" bonus, John (Hoang) is a local and thus helped members in my group get some "local" prices. It certainly helps when someone speaks the local dialect 😄

First thing to do in Hoi An! - John was nice to talk to, with full of local knowledge, and he can customise his guide well to adjust our likings and condition. My husband was not too well to enjoy so many foods on that day, but John's recommendation was spot on. We recommend anyone who visit Hoi An for the first time to go tour with John. After a couple of hours walking with him, we are confident to explore the town by ourselves more. We will definitely back to the town to do a couple of different activities with him!

A wonderful tour guide who is passionate about his home town - My wife and I have just spent two wonderful days in the company of John Lee discovering some of the many delights of his home town of Hoi An. We could not have asked for a better guide to this lovely part of the world. He kept us entertained and informed the whole time and we felt that he genuinely cared about us and that we should have the best time possible. We would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone visiting the area.

5 stars!! - We had an absolutely fantastic time on our tour in Hoi An with John. From the moment we met him he was friendly, professional and clearly so passionate about the region. His deep local knowledge and engaging storytelling brought each stop to life in ways we didn’t expect. He tailored the tour perfectly to our interests, pointed out hidden gems and made sure we felt comfortable and cared for the whole day. If you’re looking for a truly memorable experience, we can’t recommend John highly enough. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!
