Xuantu and her team is wonderful!
I recently hired Xuantu as a fixer and interpreter for my business trip in Hoi An, and very much enjoyed working with her. In fact, I wouldn’t have been able to do my job without her support. She is just great! Before my visit, Xuantu kindly helped me reach out to people I need to talk with in Hoi An, and prepared for on-the-ground work. She showed up on time, had an excellent planning for the day and helped translate and facility conversations with locals. Xuantu has a magic to make everyone around her happy, and her English is super good. I can’t thank her more for all the help. If I come back to Hoi An again, I will definitely have her as a tour guide for business or for leasure. She is a true pleasure to work with. I strongly recommend Xuantu to anyone who visits Hoi An. — Traveller: Coco_Ariel from Tripadvisor
Day trip to Hoi An
If you are looking for a glimpse into real life Vietnam plus a walk through the old town of Hoi An then this is the trip for you! our guide Xuan Tu picked us up from our hotel and took us to Hoi An. She took us to through the food market and we tried local husband & wife cake and other foods. We walked down the riverside stalls then caught a boat across to Cam Nam Island we visited a boat building yard then headed off on bicycles through paddy fields and stopped to visit a local Master carver, made rice paper and shared tea, sesame rice paper with the family. We also visited the temple of a well known local family, had a lesson in mat weaving and learnt how the families live from day to day. Lunch was at a local eatery & Xuan ordered a selection of foods for us to try. All were delicious! We visited the oldest house in Hoi An and a delightful tea house called Reaching Out Tea House where we enjoyed tea & lovely cookies. Xuan also bought us a super wafer type sweet treat from a street vendor. She pointed out great food places for us to come back & visit. Hoi An is beautiful and even more so when lit up at night with all the lanterns. We would not have experienced anywhere near as much by ourselves or with a big tour. This is definitely the best way to experience Hoi An and the local culture. Thanks Xuan we had the most fabulous day with you! — Traveller: KellieO61 from Tripadvisor
Best decision ever – Excellent tour guides
We were a group of 7 friends travelling around Da Nang and decided to book some tours with Xuan Tu. She was very flexible and accomodating with multiple changes to dates and itineraries. (it wasn’t easy getting consensus for 7people!) We booked two private tours – Hoi An half day and Hue tour. The group was hesitant at first as we thought we could do the sights ourselves, but within minutes of getting into the nice, clean, modern van, we all knew we made the right decision. Lam and Tommy made us all feel at ease and laughs and jokes were started from the start of the trip and the friendliness continued throughout the day. The tour took us to places you wouldn’t otherwise know about, let alone visit. Tommy even serenaded us during lunch! They also made excellent recommendations on food, spas, shopping and many others! The trip with Anthony to Hue was excellent and informative. Anthony was more than accomodating when we asked if we could cut the trip a little bit shorter as we had a big day the day prior and hoped to be back in Da Nang by late afternoon. Anthony knew a lot of the historical significance of the sights and although you can visit these places on your own, you won’t even be able to scrape through the surface of all the history and information behind the statues, signs, monuments, etc. Having Anthony there put a new meaning to ‘taking in the sights’. Overall, I can’t recommend Xuan Tu and her team enough. Having private tours tailored to your interests and needs is the best way to go and these guys definitely provide all that and more! Thank you for making our trip a memorable one! We will be in touch in our next visit to Vietnam. Thanks team!! — Traveller: GailN from Tripadvisor
Absolutely everything we could wish for in Central Vietnam!
For our family, traveling and food are our passions. We’re fairly seasoned — my wife has visited 44 countries, I’ve been to 38 and our 2 year old has already experienced 7! We’ve done private tours and self-guided trips, we’ve stayed on an island with no running water or electricity and 5* and 6* resorts. Food is paramount to everything we do, and we plan all of our trips around food. We are constantly in search of local, authentic cuisine and prefer to eat with and amongst locals than in a restaurant full of other tourists. Having visited Central Vietnam on our own on a previous trip, we weren’t convinced we needed a private tour guide for a 1 week vacation in Da Nang, Hoi An and Hue. However, once we contacted Xuân Tú, her passion for her hometown and for being a tour guide was clear and we wanted to experience this destination with her as our guide. Since we confirmed our tours with Xuân Tú less than a week before arrival, and her schedule was fully booked except a single day, we regretfully only had the pleasure of doing a single day Da Nang tour with her. However, Xuân Tú assisted with everything for our entire trip from from airport pick up to drop off, including transport and tour guides from Da Nang –> Hoi An (via Cam Kim Island) –> Hue –> Da Nang. One of Xuân Tú’s primary drivers, Mr. Tu, transported us safely from Hoi An to Hue and back to Da Nang. Although limited with his English, he’s an extremely friendly and kind man. I felt my family was 100% safe with Mr. Tu behind the wheel… and he’s very patient and loves kids! Xuân Tú is extremely hospitable, friendly and proactive; we felt as if she was a good friend showing us around her town, not a tour guide we hired. Xuân Tú absolutely loves what she does and this is evident in all of her actions. Even though she was busy doing tours, she was quick to respond on email and whatsapp. When we were in Hoi An and Hue, she regularly checked in to ensure everything was going as planned. Xuân Tú proactively called hotels and restaurants on our behalf to make sure everything went smoothly. She’s a fellow foodie, and we loved all the local spots she took us to in Da Nang and recommended while we were in Hoi An and Hue! We genuinely felt this was the best tour we’ve experienced in any country we’ve visited, as it was so well organized, infused with so much heart-felt passion and combined great food and amazing company! We will definitely be back and fully endorse Xuân Tú and her company to anyone looking for a friend to show them around Central Vietnam! Thanks Xuân Tú for the memories and see you again soon! 🙂 Tour Services Booked With Xuân Tú 1. Transport to/from Da Nang airport 2. Private Da Nang Tour 3. Private Hoi An Tour 4. Private Hue Tour 5.

Excellent private tours of My Son and Hue with Anthony
We booked this tour as we left Brisbane, Xuan Tu was very flexible and worked with our schedule to make it very easy for us. I was picked up at Da Nang Airport and went straight to My Son for our tour. Anthony was very knowledgable about My Son and was a pleasure to talk to. His English is very good. After our tour, we were dropped off at our hotel in Hoi An. Anthony also recommended us a few places to eat at night in Hoi An which made our food hunting much easier. He was spot on with all the recommendations. Our tour of Hue was also excellent. We were picked up again by Anthony at 8 to start our tour. Anthony once again told us about Vietnamese history and all the questions we have along the way. He also asked what we wanted to see and altered the tour to our preferences which was a big bonus. We had a lot of fun and learnt so much from Anthony. We highly recommended him and this company for anyone who wants to visit Da Nang, Hoi An and Hue area. — Traveller: Trungie from Tripadvisor
