Excellent tour. Our guide, Tony, was wonderful. Very flexible with our needs. Needed to start with lunch and he took us to the best ban mi café. He was very easy to understand, knowledgeable and lots of fun. The lantern night boat ride was wonderful. We can highly recommend this tour. Thank you Tony.

Eric was great. He was knowledgable, friendly and engaging, and the tour was well-paced and informative. We were given a comprehensive yet highly enjoyable picture of the city. Eric also provided an overview of Vietnamese lifestyle and culture that added to our appreciation of both the town and country in general. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to any other visitors!

Hoi An Ancient Town Comes Alive with a great Tour Guide

SC_W, Sep 2025
Hoi An Ancient Town is amazingly well-preserved, though often crowded with tourists. Having a knowledgeable guide makes all the difference in uncovering the stories and history behind its many buildings and structures. Our guide, Eric Ngo, was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience both insightful and enjoyable. We truly appreciated the visit. Thank you, Eric!

Great tour

Hoi An is everything I...

Adriana_N, May 2025
Hoi An is everything I could expect. Visiting Ancient Town during Vesak was a special experience. Raining or not, is a must see place in Vietnam. Lot's of history on a single place. To be guided by Eric helped a lot.

Lovely morning

Old Town Hoi An Charm

Udayan_R, Apr 2025
The Hoi An walking tour was fantastic. We went during the morning/mid day but I can imagine how much more beautiful it is at night. It was an easy and picturesque walk through the town. The boat ride was lovely and a good way to see all angles of the town. The tour was made that much more pleasant by our tour guide Mhi who was simply amazing. She was personable and shared the history and culture with us. She was attentive and gave us an opportunity to walk a little by ouraelves. We didn't feel rushed. Overall an excellent tour. Whe. We return will do it at night!

The Beauty and Culture of Hoi An and the Lantern Ceremony

Yolanda_R, Apr 2025
I love Hoi An and would highly recommend this tour. The tour guide Eric was amazing … knowledgeable and delivered the information with humour and warmth. He delayed the tour on our request, so that we could ensure that we were on the boat for the lantern ceremony. He was very open and told us a little about his life and the culture in Hoi An. He made the tour interesting and instilled in you with the passion for Hoi An that he felt. The boat ride on the river and lighting of the lanterns, putting them in the water and making a wish was beautiful and a special memory. Don’t miss this tour.

Fantastic tour

Annie was an excellent guide who lives locally and had good knowledge of the history of the area. In particular she told us some fascinating facts that you wouldn’t find in guide books. She was an absolute delight and we are very grateful to her for a wonderful tour and for her restaurant recommendation!

Nicest private walking tour with a local

Gemma_B, Sep 2024
We enjoyed very much our tour with Eric. As a local from Hoian he shared with us his vast knowledge about history, culture and traditions. He treated us with a wonderful cold herbal tea and gave us recommendations about the “not to miss” dishes from Hoian’s local cuisine. Eric, mission accomplished! We tried them all and loved them! We highly recommend this your with Eric, it is a nice walk through ancient city and the boat tour is a nice break.

Great Experience.

Vincent_C, Feb 2024
We loved the guided tour around the old town with the local knowledge of our tour guide HNI. She provided us with the history of the town developed over the centuries. Experienced the local food and the folklore theatre. Finishing off on a boat ride on the river with lanterns (a must at night).

An excellent tour!

Cette excursion hors des sentiers battus nous a permis de découvrir une autre facette de la ville. Notre guide (Eric) était très bon, joyeux et attentif. Nous avons beaucoup appris sur la culture des gens normaux et sur l'histoire du pays.
