An absolutely unforgettable day — book Loi (David)!

Kristi_D, Jun 2026

We did the “Authentic Hoi An: Explore Countryside with Locals” tour and it was the highlight of our trip. Our guide, Loi (David), is the reason why. The day started with a delightful surprise: He and his wife rolled up to our hotel on scooters, which was exactly the way we’d been hoping to see the city. From that moment on, we were in great hands. He is a wonderful communicator — he walked us through every stop, where we were headed, and what to expect, so the whole day was completely stress-free. As a local himself, he shared stories and background with real pride, and he did it with so much humor and warmth that it felt less like a tour and more like exploring with a friend. The experiences themselves were rich and authentic. We visited the fishing village of Duy Hai and got a heartfelt look at life built around the sea. We floated through the Cam Thanh water coconut forest in a traditional basket boat. We spent time in the rice fields learning to plough, plant, and walk alongside a gentle water buffalo. A local family welcomed us into their home to show us how rice noodles and rice paper are made by hand, and we got to try it ourselves. And weaving between stops on the back of the motorbike was honestly one of the most fun ways to take in the area. We finished at a coffee shop with incredible salted coffee, and even brought some beans home. He had thoughtful suggestions for everything else we asked about, with zero pressure. When we mentioned other places we were curious about, he simply offered to help if we had questions. We ended up booking another tour with him! Attentive, caring, funny, and genuinely passionate about sharing his home — we cannot recommend Loi (David) highly enough. If you want an authentic, people-first experience in Hoi An, book this tour and ask for him.

I’m especially glad that you felt comfortable, relaxed, and able to enjoy everything without stress — that is exactly what I always hope for my guests. Thank you again for trusting us and even joining another tour during your stay. You are always welcome back anytime in Hoi An or Da Nang, and we would be very happy to see you again in the future. Wishing you safe travels and many more great adventures ahead 🙏

The tour was exceptional! We booked this last minute the night before and did not regret it. We had David as our tour guide- he was incredibly nice and knowledgable about Hoi An and Quang Nam areas. We definitely grew to appreciate the area more than expected. 10/10 recommend to anyone in Hoi An.
