• 5High-Value Tour, Must-Go

  Our tour guide Tom was friendly, enthusiastic, and shared details about each historical spot that taught us a lot about Hoi An. I’d recommend this tour for anyone visiting here especially if it’s your first time. The walking tour was tailored towards where we were picked up, and we went to most spots that were listed in the GetYourGuide description, and then some new ones that weren’t listed there. Again, overall we felt like we came out of the tour having learned a lot about Hoi an and its history. Additionally, it was very nice of him to include some treats and Mot tea in the tour as well. Tom’s a great guide.

• 5Request for private tour guide named Kun

  I booked a private tour through GetYourGuide the night before the tour, as I was travelling with my elderly parents and felt that having a private guide would be much easier and more comfortable for them. I booked the tour with my Dad and contacted the company to ask if we could start at 8:15 am instead. They responded very quickly and were extremely accommodating, which I really appreciated. Our tour guide, Kun, contacted me via WhatsApp to confirm the meeting location and all the details. From the beginning, she was very professional, friendly and helpful. Kun was very knowledgeable and explained everything thoroughly throughout the tour. Her English was also very good and easy to understand, which made it easy for my Dad to follow along and enjoy the experience. The tour was originally scheduled for 2.5 hours, but it ended up taking around 3 hours because my Dad needed to stop a few times due to his sore legs. Kun was incredibly understanding, patient and never made us feel rushed. She was happy to adjust the pace to suit my Dad, which meant a lot to us. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. The flexibility, communication and personalised attention made the tour much more enjoyable, especially when travelling with elderly parents. I would definitely recommend this private tour, particularly for families or anyone who prefers a more relaxed and personalised experience.
