The Real Hoi An - Had a fantastic time with John (John Lee Tours) discovering the real Hoi An.
Doing pottery....planting gardens....catching fish and riding buffalo....just to name a few. Johns local knowledge was invaluable and a real toast to Vietnam. Will be back.... and highly recommend John Lee Tours.

Half day Tour of Hoian countryside - John is a phenomenal guide, and I cannot highly recommend him enough! As a solo traveller on my first trip to Vietnam, he made the Hoi An Countryside Tour feel completely seamless and world-class. John went above and beyond to ensure that every need was taken care of, and I truly wanted for nothing throughout the day. His local knowledge of Hoi An was invaluable, guiding me away from the typical "cookie-cutter" routes to discover the authentic heart of the region. The farm visit, coconut boat, and the incredible lunch were the absolute highlights of my entire trip. I felt safe, supported, and incredibly well-informed thanks to his warm storytelling and professional guidance. If you are visiting, John is the only guide you should book with.

Beautiful bicycle ride in Hoi An with John - John is a great guide, he speaks very good English and has taught us a lot about country and
People told. The cycling was very relaxed and we saw a lot. The Coconut boat is a bit touristy but still quite nice. In Vegetables Village we were allowed to help a farmer a little, which was fun. The subsequent lunch was very delicious. We can recommend the tour with John seeeeehr

Flexible, tailored and fun - John provides excellent local knowledge and service. His personal tour of the BaNa Hills made it far more enjoyable, knowing the best time to arrive and an efficient plan to see the most of the attraction. John was always fast to respond to questions about recommendations about where the best places to eat were and what to do, tailored to our specific requirements. Very friendly, funny and flexible!

Hoi An Country Tour - One of our trip higlights - Great tour and experience for the whole family. I was slightly concerned about motorbikes in Vietnam but felt safe the entire time. Was great for the kids to see outside the tourist areas and John made the tour seem effortless.

Fantastic day tour of Hoi An - We were a group of 10 family members including my elderly parents. We were lucky enough to have John as our guide for a day tour of Hoi An which included visiting a pottery vilage, a farming area and the coconut boats. John took great care of us and provided interesting information to make the experience more meaningful. His helpful and joyful demeanour was very much appreciated. We actually booked our tour through Klook but John has his own tour business and i believe you can probably go direct with him. We wish him well in growing his business and am sure he will achieve much success.

Fabulous country tour around Hoi An - John is a fabulous tour guide whose excellent English and experience growing up in Hoi An allows excellent insights into the local culture. Our teenagers rated this tour the standout on our two week Vietnam holiday. They enjoyed making noodles, vegetable farming, riding buffalo, tasting different coffees, riding the boats, fishing, making pottery and eating a plentiful and delicious lunch. John has a great sense of humour and takes memorable photos. He did a fabulous video edit as well. We highly recommend this tour.
