Exceptional tour - My brother and I decided to take a private tour with our guide, and it was exceptional. My brother is very passionate about the culture and history of this beautiful area, and our guide, Mr Tony provided an indepeth tour that was rich in history while allowing us plenty of time to explore. The lanterns were mesmerizing, and the boat ride was simply beautiful. We lit the lanterns and watched them float away on the water after expressing our gratitude. The boat staff were highly skilled, and there wasn’t a single bump during the ride. After a wonderful evening, we returned home smiling, feeling enriched by the culture, and knowing we made the right choice with this company. Thank you again Mr Tony and our wonderful driver. Exceptional service 🤗

Amazing colourful place. - We booked an evening tour in Hoi A which was one of the best tours I have ever been on whilst on holiday. Our tour guide was a lovely man called Minh who was extremely knowledgeable and took time to explain the culture and history of Vietnam. This part of Hoi An is absolutely beautiful at night and there is colour everywhere. We had a nice meal, visited a local silk factory and also took a short boat trip which showed us both sides of the river. I would highly recommend this tour as it gives you confidence to explore more of Hoi An at your own pace. Minh was also such a nice man which made the experience more enjoyable. If you only do one tour on your trip to Hoi An do this one.

Lovely visit to Hoi An - Lovely tour with Tran. Nice way to see Hoi An and get a sense of the place if you are tight for time. Tran knows the history of the city well and the boat trip as night fell was magical.

If you were to travel to... - If you were to travel to Vietnam and only went to Hoi A you would go home raving about the experience. Our guide Trung was hilariously funny and patient. We had a fantastic time!

Fantastic Hoi An Tour – Highly Recommend! - Hello! The trip to Hoi An was really great comfortable and relaxing. The guide was very kind and respectful, and the driver was too. The guide explained all the little details about the old town and even suggested the best restaurant for dinner at the new Hoi An market. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!

Short tour with tourist shopping, great lantern cruise - Driver and guide on time. Friendly. The best part was the enchanting lantern river cruise. Guide informative but we felt we were visiting tourist sites in order for them to sell goods,ie brief embroidery factory followed by a longer trip through showrooms including a tailor. We felt uncomfortable. Some free time to explore shops then dinner at a "recommended" restaurant.
