Don’t miss these ancient ruins of the Cham people
We had a great time exploring the ruins with our guide Mr Bruce Lee! 😂. He was very knowledgeable about the ruins, its history and the local history and farming too. Coming in the hot season, Mr Lee was very accomodating and it was a very good idea to go as early as you can, you can skip a bit of the heat, but also miss the crowds and have the ruins to yourself!
Highly recommended, same with Bruce Lee the guide 😉

Great experience
We booked the small group tour with Jeep, with a 6am pickup, Quyhn was our guide and she was very helpful, bubbly and knowledgeable. Going early meant we got a great look at Marble Mountains before the heat of the day and before it got busy (which it can get very busy, as we saw when leaving). She also looks after all the ticketing and where to go/ what’s worth seeing. She also took some group photos of our group. Quang and Phu were our drivers, which was very smooth and great AC!
The jeep trip up monkey mountain was fun and I think I’d recommend this to anyone keen on something different, the lady Buddha statue was also amazing to see, set in beautiful gardens and of course seeing lots of monkeys! 10/10

Lin was the best guide we...
Lin was the best guide we could have asked for! She was a great story teller, knowledgeable about the history of the temples and Vietnam in general, and was so personable with everyone in our group. Great overall experience, we even got to see baboons eating jackfruit in the trees right in front of us!

Best bicycle tour!
Best local experience! So glad we booked this bike tour, a wonderful way to see the local lifestyle up close. We booked a private tour which meant we could fit in a few more stops and our guide Linh shared so much about his local community and lifestyle. We stopped at a weaving spot, had a go at making rice cakes, tried rice wine at the happy house and even had time for a coffee stop. Highly recommended!!

Best day ever!!!
As my kids have put it 'Best guide and day EVER!" "Mr Bean, from England" went above and beyond in every single way and made the day memorable for not only me & my family but every single traveller on our tour..informative, funny, helpful and everything in between. Bean made sure we got all the "insta" pics, and best experience we could have. HIGHLY recommend Mr Bean as your guide, you will not be disappointed. 10/10.

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!

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.

Beautiful Hoi An and Marble Hills
The Marble Hills and Hoi An are a great experience.
Marble Hills suprised us with the beauty. What we were not prepare was the amount of climbing we had to do to reach each of the caves. But the effort was worth it.
The Guide Mr.Minhbwas a native of the place and came with great stories about the history and significance of the place.
Hoi An - the village is so beautiful especially in the night. Great options of restaurants. Don't miss the Lantern boat ride which isbthe highlight.

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

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.
