5.00This tour exceeded our expectations. Fifi was a fantastic tour guide and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience, including taking us to make a lantern and finding food options along the way for the two vegans in our group. The coconut boats were an unexpected highlight - it was a colourful, noisy and fun trip downriver in Coconut Forest with highly entertaining rowers who added to the whole experience. There were dozens and dozens of the little round boats out on the water and the chance to step across into another boat to be spun around fast. In Hoi An old town we visited numerous houses, temples and bridges and learned a lot about the history of the town and how people live. The evening lantern boat ride was very busy and not the tranquility experience we’d expected but still a must-do when visiting Hoi An. We highly recommend this tour.

5.00The highlight of our trip was the wonderful day we spent with Minh. His storytelling brought every place to life and made the experience truly special. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized—the pickup, the drive, and each stop along the way. Marble Mountains, Hoi An, and the coconut boat ride were all fantastic. Thank you for giving us such beautiful memories and a heartfelt experience of your lovely country. See you again soon!
Perfect visit
