We packed so much into...
We packed so much into this incredible morning tour and still made it back to the city before noon. Our guide, Van, was exceptionally professional and elevated the whole experience by offering fascinating history about Vietnam that went beyond just My Son!

My Son Sanctuary Tour
This was an excellent tour. The driver was right on time and I travelled in a small van with 7 other guests. It had great AC. The ruins were beautiful in a gorgeous green jungle mountain setting. I’m so happy I got up at 5:00 for this! Our guide, Lin, was friendly, engaging, and attentive. She connected with each guest, checking in throughout the tour and adjusting to people’s interests. She pointed out monkeys for those interested in wildlife and had a more detailed conversation with me about Champa architecture and history as we walked. At the coffee and food stops, she explained the items clearly so we could know what to expect and how it was eaten. Along the way Lin also shared a few personal stories that helped give some cultural context. She was the best guide I’ve had in Vietnam.
The early morning start was a great choice. It helped avoid the crowds and the worst of the heat. Highly recommend.

10/10 recommend this unique experience.
I did the Hoi An Full Lantern Making Class, and it was such a fun experience. Our instructors, Huy and his brothers and sisters, were all incredibly lovely, patient, and helpful. Huy especially was amazing, I’m definitely not the crafty type, but he made the whole process enjoyable and helped me every step of the way. They taught us about the history of lanterns, which was was fascinating, and creating our own lantern was such a unique experience. We got to choose our own design and were taught how to assemble the lantern, as well as how to properly collapse and reopen it without damaging it. Plus, the playlist was absolutely banger. 10/10 I highly recommend this class!

Wonderful excursion into the local food of Hoi An
We took the food tour with Swan, it was a great experience. Swan was very engaging and at the outset created a congenial atmosphere for all members of the tour. She combined visits to sites where some of the raw sources of food were derived (noodle makers, sprout producers), and then to various restaurants/foodcarts/vendors where the actual foods were prepared and consumed. The tour took us to places we would have never found on our own and gave us a greater connection to the lives, livelihoods and food of regular Vietnamese. It was a delicious and delightful experience.

Good morning tour
Very interesting day out on the morning half day tour to My Son. Our guide Dung was very friendly, informative and took care of our group. The included lunch was simple but nice. My son sanctuary area gets very hot so make sure you prepare. We had fans with us that we were grateful for. We found the half day option enough as we are not super passionate about ruins.

A Hidden Gem Tour You Shouldn’t Miss
We had an incredible experience on the Hoi An Hidden Gems in Rural Villages & River Islands Private Tour. This tour is truly something special, as it takes you far away from the typical tourist spots and lets you experience the real local life.
We visited small villages, met local families, and even had the chance to try traditional activities like making rice paper and learning about local crafts. Everything felt authentic and personal, not rushed or commercial at all.
What made the experience unforgettable was our guide, Trang. She was absolutely fantastic — incredibly knowledgeable, always attentive, and genuinely kind. She explained everything in a very engaging way and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. Her passion for her culture really shines through, and her friendliness made the whole tour feel like spending time with a friend rather than just a guide.
The entire tour was perfectly organized, flexible, and full of unique moments that we will always remember.
Highly recommended if you want to discover the authentic side of Hoi An. And if you’re lucky enough to have Trang as your guide, you’re guaranteed an amazing experience!

Fabulous tour. Amazing guide.
We had a fabulous time with our guide KHA and his drivers. This tour was well laid out. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and spoke good enough. Without this tour we would have not fully understood the culture behind marbel mountain, monkey mountain and the lady buddha statue. We would recommend this tour to anyone!

Tasty Food, Great Guide, Top Experience!
This was so much fun! A great way to taste the specialities of Hoi An while meandering the streets and alleyways. Our guide was fantastic, the food delicious and plentiful and ending with the lantern boat ride was the cherry on the top. Highly recommend this tour

Kind but firm guide.
Ella was great. Soft spoken but firm so people will listen and follow instructions. Very important to me as a traveler that other people be on time for they wouldn’t inconvenience fellow travelers and Ella made that happen. And of course, tour itself was great and we felt safe with the great driver.

Lovely Evening making Lanterns and Boat Tour!
My girlfriend Toni & I had a lovey evening making lanterns and having good fun with our teacher. She was great and made it enjoyable throughout. Giving us history of her family, the area, the culture and also showing an interest in our lives was a very nice touch. She was very helpful when we got stuck or made a mess of our lanterns and helped us make them look respectable! She gave good tips for things to do in the town and places to eat. She brought us to the boats where we had a sunset tour to send off our lanterns and was there to see us off safely when we got back. Really personal experience which was an ideal way to spend a couple of hours in Hoi An!

Genuine Cooking
Buzzing thru the food market then riding along rice paddies on a motorbike to a serene waterway sets the scene for this wonderfully authentic experience. Tam, a gifted chef is full of enthusiasm and hands on knowledge. He will make you feel comfortable and well looked after. Thank you Tam, you are a legend.

Walking street food tour
Tonight we had the wonderful opportunity to meet Catherine, who was our private tour guide with The Street Food Man. From the moment we started walking through the lively streets of Ho Chi Minh City, she made us feel like locals.
We visited five authentic local restaurants, tasting dish after dish of incredible Vietnamese food. Every bite was delicious, and although we ate far too much, it was nearly impossible to stop!
What made the evening truly memorable was Catherine herself. She entertained us with her deep knowledge of local customs, food culture, and Vietnamese life, all delivered with warmth and a great sense of humor. Walking the streets with her felt like being out with a friend who just happened to know everything about the city.
This was a fantastic experience — delicious food, great company, and insights you simply can’t get on your own. We would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh.
