June our tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient. She taught us a lot about the history and architecture of Vietnam. We visited many temples and places of interest. June was patient and pleasant to spend the morning with! I recommend this to all visitors. It is a good way to familiarize yourself with the main sights of Hoi An.

Great tour around Hoi An...

Great tour around Hoi An old town. Lots of information about the foreign residents of old town. The tour was well paced and our tour guide Nhat did a great job giving us opportunities to rest on a very hot day.

Booked this walking tour of Old Town in Hoi An with Minh as our tour guide. He presented historical and cultural information regarding the trading city from its inception. Minh is an excellent communicator and has a great sense of humour. He is very knowledgeable, passionate and delivers a top notch tour. I would highly recommend taking this walking tour of with Minh. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Had a fantastic walking tour of Hoi An with Trang. She was a great guide, the tour was interesting and informative. Very good English. Trang provided a list of recommendations at the end of the tour which we then tried on our own.

Great afternoon in Hoi An

Sheila_J, Jan 2026
We had a lovely afternoon exploring the old town of Hoi An with Nguyen! She is super knowledgeable about the town and it's history and she kept us engaged and entertained throughout with her funny tidbits and smile. We even got to try some yummy local "mango cake". All in all a great introduction to this charming little town. Wish we had more time to explore. Shukriya Nguyen for a great afternoon!

A great way to explore Old Town Hoi An

Sheri_S, Apr 2025
We spent a lovely afternoon with Anh walking around Old Town Hoi An! Anh was so friendly and charming; not only was she very informative and detailed with her histories of the ancient quarter, but she provided us with great insights about Vietnamese culture and about life in Hoi An across the years. We went into four different historical buildings, and she provided us with unique insights about each; I especially enjoyed her detailed explanation of how different cultures have influenced Hoi An across the centuries and the delicious cold tea we had during a break. Another highlight was when Anh took us through the back door of one of the oldest houses in Hoi An where we saw the working kitchen, and then provided us with details about how the house has survived many floods over the 8 generations of family members. And she ended with recommendations for restaurants and shops and tips for booking a lantern boat ride. Thanks for a great afternoon, Anh!

Do not miss!! :)

Thank you to our tour guide Minh for a fantastic tour of beautiful Hoi An. Minh’s knowledge of local history and culture was fascinating and we got great insight into the day to day lives of the residents of this amazing town. Minh is an exceptional guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. Thank you Minh!
