Five stars all around
This day with Tommy in Vietnam was definitely our favourite day out of our whole holiday. From the time I contacted Xian Tu by email, everything was so professional. There was six in our party and we had a lovely big mini bus. Our guide Tommy was absolutely great. Always checking if we were happy with everything. Running around to get us poncho’s and umbrella’s – bless him. The vehicles aren’t allowed into Chan May port, so we had just a short walk to the other end of the port gates, where we were met. Sadly we had a lot of rain through the day so we had to cut our visit slightly short, but that was our choice. It makes the greatest difference having your own vehicle and guide rather than a large group. Tommy took us to a Vietnamese restaurant for lunch in Hoi An. OMG it was the most tastiest food we had all holiday. Everything was so fresh. We all had a starter, main and a drink and it only came to $24!! Thank you Tommy and Xuan Tu for making some wonderful memories. — Traveller: CarolSkid from Tripadvisor
Mot Hi Ba Yoooo!
Special thanks to Xuan Tú for acceding to our last min personalized tour request, despite running a full private tour schedule. Once we reached Da Nang, we were warmly welcomed by friendly Tommy Pan. We hit off well as if we already knew each other before. We enjoyed every bit of our half day Hoi An food tour, immersing ourselves in the unique culture of Hoi An city; we ate where the locals dined, made wishes at the river of water lanterns; bargained at the old quaint market. Half day Da Nang city tour, on the other hand, was enriching and insightful. Visit to the mystical Marble Mountains and the scenic journey to the Lady Buddha is a must. Tommy even brought us to the oldest coffee house in Da Nang, Long caphe to try the famous drip Vietnamese coffee while having our first bite of the yummy Bahn mi (Vietnamese baguette). The tour was nicely concluded with a scrumptious Mi Quang(frog legs noodle) before we headed to the airport for our flight home. Our 3D2N trip to Da Nang, albeit short, ended on a high note when our effervescent guide Tommy serenaded us with his rendition of ‘Cry on my shoulder’ song. Yes, Hello Vietnam, we will be back! And to Xuan Tú, Tommy and the rest of the team, mot hi ba yooooo!!! Cheers, Anne & Jeff — Traveller: AnneL4891 from Tripadvisor
Fantastic Hoi An
A fantastic day spent in Hoi An with Lam and Jame! Both of them are very personable and knew how to enhance every moment of our experience. A sweet surprise when Lam bought a cake to help celebrate my friend’s birthday! We had an enjoyable time with them and a friendship has been established too! Thanks guys!

Happy trip and worth it
First trip to central Vietnam, Da Nang and I chanced upon this forum. i contacted Xuân Tú (pronounced Soong Tú) she was very patience and provide good suggestion, We decided to opt for this tour packages (Da Nang and Cam Kim island Tour). Xuan Tu did not attend to us but assigned her colleague, Tommy to take care of us, me and my friend. On the date of the tour, i was not feeling too well in the morning, our tour started at 9am. We did the first stop at the local coffeehouse and Tommy noticed that i was not feeling well and suggested that i should go back to the hotel and rest for an hour before heading off to Hoi an. i was grateful to him and seek his advise. He came by again at 11am to pick us up at the hotel, although i am not well but an hour of rest did calm me a bit, we proceed to Hoi AN. Tommy was a patience guy and he gave many suggestion throughout the journey. We went on to tour Hoi an and the island tour and visited two local house by bike. it was indeed fun and eye catcher for us from the City. Haha. first time i saw water buffalo in my eyes, crossing our paths. we have fun evening in Hoi An although it was raining. We end the tour with a visit to the Lady buddha and dragon bridge. i must said it was a fun, and enjoyable trip with Tommy. we chat a lot and is good to have him to bring us around. for those traveller who want to experience the local lifestyle of da nang and hoi an or other places, you can count on them to provide you the best of both world. i will come back and look for them in the future. thank you for the time and god bless! cheers Baldwin 29th Sept to 2 Oct 2016 — Traveller: BaldwinL9 from Tripadvisor
Happy Buddha :-)
Just back to our hotel after a fantastic afternoon with Xuân Tú. A couple of months ago my I contacted Xuân Tú to see if she could help my wife and I with a tour around some of the sights of DaNang. We had a free Saturday before we left the area to head to Hanoi and Xuân Tú happily recommended the key sights and adjusted the timeframes to suit us. All was arranged via email, with very prompt and detailed answers. Xuân Tú was also happy for us to pay on the day, no deposit needed. We were met early at our hotel in Hoi An and immediately felt comfortable with Xuân Tú. Her English is superb, she is funny, knowledgeable and absolutely “down to earth”…. she is very quickly just like a friend spending the afternoon with you. We took in the Marble Mountains, great coffee, off the track food (which was excellent), a *very* local market, Lady Buddha and some of the lights and sights of DaNang at night. We would absolutely recommend Xuân Tú to anyone looking for a guide around the DaNang, Hue and Hoi An districts. — Traveller: timwK9738NG from Tripadvisor
