Best introduction to Hoi An food and history
I found Danang Hoi An Tours from a random google search for Hoi An food tours, and I was not disappointed. A private car and my tourguides Tommy and … picked me up from My homestay in Danang to take me to Hoi An. Tommy is a Hoi An local, and he was a wealth of information. Along the way he told me about different things as we passed, about tourism in the area, and small tidbits that you’d never find in a guide book. We checked out Tommy’s favourite local spots for coffee, lunch, and dessert in between visiting historical sites in old town. He even showed me a local lantern making shop and recommended a good tailor. After my tour the car picked us up again and drove me to my next homestay near the beach. I had a super fun day hanging out my guides. Even in the rain! And I had Cau Lau noodles three more times while I was in Hoi An. Soo yummy 😉 — Traveller: Randi S from Tripadvisor
Great day spent with Lam
After reading all the recommendations about Hoi An Private Tour Guide, I booked a tour with Lam and had an amazing day. Lam is very knowledgeable and fun to be with! We went to Cam Kim Island to experience the local culture and went out of his way so that I can take amazing pictures since my passion is photography. After lunch we spent the afternoon touring Hoi An. Lam is the perfect guide and I recommend him hands down! Thank you Lam for such a wonderful day! — Traveller: Sandra H from Tripadvisor
Go for it!
Four of us had a great private tour with Phan Hoang Hai also known as Tommy. Such a lovely friendly person, who has a great knowledge of the area and an eagerness to share this and give us an insight into the culture. Great stop for coffee, if a little on the strong side 🙂 We had a fabulous day and would encourage anyone visiting the area (we were on a cruise and arranged the tour in advance) to do a tour with a private tour guide. Thank you Tommy — Traveller: Alison J from Tripadvisor
Great tour with Tommy
Tommy gave us a great tour of Hoi An and the surrounding villages. Hoi An was our third city in Vietnam on this trip, having come from Hanoi and Hue. Both these cities have numerous major attractions. By comparison Hoi An is a smaller town, where you get a better chance to see and understand life in Vietnam. Tommy was a great guide for this type of tour. His family has lived here for many generations and he is clearly very proud of his city and its heritage. We used a private boat for the morning portion of the tour and visited a boat building and fine carpentry workshops in one village, then had a chance to visit two families in another village where we made rice paper and helped build cane sleeping mats. Tommy had developed relationships with these families while doing community outreach when he was in school and it shows – they treat him like a true friend of the family and that enthusiasm shows in how they welcomed us as guests. Later, after a great lunch in an off the beaten path restaurant, we toured the town of Hoi An, visited temples, the Japanese covered bridge, and some older homes in the town. Tommy knows his history and brought some of the places to life by using some very creative exhibits on his smartphone. We cannot recommend Tommy and Xuantu highly enough. They did a great job for us and we thoroughly enjoyed our day in Hoi An. — Traveller: 416_to_the_world from Tripadvisor
Your of Da Nang and Hoi An
Xuân Tú was the perfect guide for the perfect tour. Excellent in everyday. She was exceptionally knowledgeable and gave us the tour she promised. Extra stops for pictures and shopping as needed. Would recommend her without hesitation. She and her team are excellent. — Traveller: racooper from Tripadvisor
