Fantastic Tour with Xuan Tu
Whilst in Da Nang, my family booked a tour with Xuan Tu after reading some fantastic trip advisor reports about her tours. Unfortunately, come the day of the tour, my brother and I were ill and after struggling through the first hour of the tour, Xuan Tu kindly offered to post-pone the tour to the following day with us! The entire family was very grateful for this as Xuan Tu had to assign another tour guide to a tour she was supposed to take on the next day. Her commitment and flexibility in this situation was very commendable and we were all very impressed. We also enjoyed Xuan Tu’s bubbly and kind personality and her fantastic sense of humour! It was very easy to communicate with Xuan Tu as her English was outstanding, and her knowledge of Hoi An and Da Nang was also very impressive. The entire family loved our tour with Xuan Tu, learnt about the history and attractions in Da Nang and Hoi An, and made a new lifelong friend. — Traveller: Kat_ellis01 from Tripadvisor
Because of Xuan Tu, I created an account in Tripadvisor to appreciate her
Before going to Da Nang, I was a little bit worried about the language barrier, and particularly I was travelling with my parents who are in their 60s. Things started to get solved as soon as I wrote to Xuan Tu as her English gave me confidence and she had a lot of ideas taking care of all my considerations. I try my best not to repeat what the other comments have mentioned. On the day of arrival, our flight was exceptionally full and we spent more than half hour for immigration and another half hour for luggage clearance. I knew she had been waiting for us for more than 1.5 hours at the airport but she still gave us a big welcome and greeted us with smiles. Xuan Tu is very experienced and professional. She listened to our request and customised our trip. On the first day, we had a special request to find a local friend but we lost contact with him for decades. We just had very limited information but she proactively helped us to ask a number of local people. The process was not easy but after almost an hour, she could really make it! It’s really amazing! A BIG thanks to her professionalism and passion. We also requested her to take us for local food but not the “Westernised” Vietnamese food to fit the taste of Western people and she immediately understood our request. The food she brought us was amazing and very local, eating in a local way and often we were the only tourists inside the shop. Well done! This was exactly what we wanted. One day when we wanted to have a day trip in Hoi An, unfortunately, Xuan Tu got sick but she managed to find her friend to do the tour for us. As she wanted us to understand more about Hoi An, for our best benefit, she found her friend who was born in Hoi An. He could explain to us anything related to Hoi An. He was not in any way worse than Xuan Tu. He could also take good care of my parents. As it was better to commute by motorcycles and bicycles for part of the tour to save time, energy with a more local experience while I was not sure whether my parents could handle them well. He carefully planned the trip and let me parents try step by step. My parents turned out saying that it was the happiest moment in the trip. I also appreciate the driver, Tuong, who drove carefully despite of roads full of motorcycles. I used to be worried sitting on a speeding car but I could hardly catch a moment over the speed limit. The car was not a high-class one but my parents said that it was easier for them to get in and out of the car (maybe Xuan Tu’s special arrangement for my parents?) with better air-conditioning than the local taxis. Tuong is also a cheerful person. Together with Xuan Tu, it was a trip full of fun. Xuan Tu is detailed minded and all the things were very well planned. She is also flexible and adaptive. She is able to react according to different situations. I could hardly find anything to complain. I strongly recommend Xuan Tu no matter you are travelling Vietnam in couples or in groups, with kids, teens or elderly. Without her, our trip could hardly be so enjoyable, smooth and unforgettable. I used to travel few times a year and she is the best tour guide I have ever met. P.S. Our stay in Da Nang and Hoi An was 7 days but Xuan Tu’s schedule was so full that she could only spare 2.5 days with us even though I contacted her almost one month ahead. — Traveller: Panacea568 from Tripadvisor
Excellent trip! Enjoyed every moment
Due to the rainy weather, there was a change of plan from biking to tour of DN and Hoi An. XuanTu took us to Han Market, introduced us to delicious Pho followed by traditional coffee at Long coffee. Then we drove to Hoi An for a walking tour of this heritage town. There is so much to see. We learned so much and tasted local food which we would not have tried. Thanks Xuan Tu, we enjoyed every minute and worth every dollar. — Traveller: Christine T from Tripadvisor
The best tour guide in Hoi An….fun, friendly, and reasonably priced
Hi Xuan Tu, thank you very much for helping us in Hoi An with our wedding preparations. Xuan Tu helped us with finding great tailor and dress maker as we were getting married. We also had fun shopping with her as well as a couple of great nights out. Plus she is so passionate about her country and really loves spending time with her clients to make your holiday the best ever. We are so happy to see your business grow.

DaNang // Hoi An Tour
XuanTu provided the best tour a college aged foreigner (American) could ask for! I have been in DaNang for two weeks, and by far was this the best day I have had in the city. XuanTu provided a joyful attitude the entire 12 hours we were together, and she always thought about her customers (or now friends!) before anything else! She has such great sense of humor and charm that people any ages can relate to her. She is loving, caring, happy, curious, and a GREAT listener!! Her knowledge of the sites in DaNang and Hoi An was very impressive. She provide me with a lot of great information that I would have really struggled to put together myself. Plus, she also is a great barginer so you can get the lowest price possible for any gifts you may want to purchase, and has a very good eye for amazing food venders! I also should mentioned that all XuanTo provides is (currently) in a passionate 23 year old woman. She has such amazing life goals she she is working really hard for (currently 7 days a week for 10 – 12 hours a day). I would HIGHLY recommend XuanTu as your tour guide for any trips you may want to learn about! — Traveller: Andrew V from Tripadvisor
