A Magical Evening in Hoi A with the Best Guide! - We had an unforgettable experience exploring the Hoi An night market and taking a beautiful boat ride along the lantern-lit river — all made extra special thanks to our amazing tour guide, Danny. He was incredibly informative, sharing fascinating stories and historical insights that brought the charming town to life. Danny went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having a great time. He gave us plenty of time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the local street food. The boat ride was a real highlight — releasing lanterns into the river under the stars was a moment we’ll always cherish. If you’re visiting Hoi An, this tour is a must — and make sure you ask for Danny! Absolutely five stars!

Just like having family show you around their town! - Fantastic from start to end. Minh had great knowledge of the city's history, took us to all the best points of interest and helped a young family of 5 navigate the chaos of a busy tourist destination. From finding temples, historic houses and museums to getting onto a suitable boat at precisely sunset, taking many family photos and getting a table at a popular local restaurant, Minh handled absolutely everything so we could enjoy everything this fantastic city had to offer (he even helped us haggle!).

Take a tour when visiting Hoi An - Last evening we went to Hoi An with G as our driver from DaNang and Minh as our tour guide. Many people say you can just get a Grab and do Hoi An on your own, which obviously you can. But, I’m so glad we took this tour because Hoi An became more of a destination than a shopping experience. It is very congested there, but Minh was able to navigate us around to specific significant sights and give us history and insight of our surroundings.

Fabulous tour of Hoi An - Fabulous tour well worth doing. Our guide Dany was very informative and his English was excellent. He was very flexible and accommodating with what we wanted to see and do. The lanterns on the water at night are very magical as is Hoi An at night. Highly recommend this tour.

Hoi An's Luminous Charm - Hoi An's lanterns are pure magic! Thousands of vibrant silk and bamboo creations illuminate the ancient town, especially enchanting during the monthly Lantern Festival. Releasing floating lanterns on the river is a serene, unforgettable experience. A must-see spectacle that truly defines Hoi An's unique allure.

Hoi An - This was a very interesting tour around the old town of Hoi An. I wasn’t sure what to expect but we were picked from our hotel in Da Nang by “Hugo” and taken by taxi to Hoi An. We were given a very interesting tour of a temple and provided with some excellent history of Hoi An. Then onto a silk manufacturer, museum, Vietnamese theatre and an old traders house. During the tour we stopped for some food at Hai Cafe which was excellent and finally on for the signature boat trip. All in all a good choice with an excellent guide and would recommend.

Informative and fun - Mr. Minh was such a great guide sharing the history of not only Hoi An but Vietnam as well. We saw all the famous areas around the Ancient Town, took a nice river cruise, and enjoyed the Night Market.
