Flexible, tailored and fun

5.00John provides excellent local knowledge and service. His personal tour of the BaNa Hills made it far more enjoyable, knowing the best time to arrive and an efficient plan to see the most of the attraction. John was always fast to respond to questions about recommendations about where the best places to eat were and what to do, tailored to our specific requirements. Very friendly, funny and flexible!

5.00Great tour and experience for the whole family. I was slightly concerned about motorbikes in Vietnam but felt safe the entire time. Was great for the kids to see outside the tourist areas and John made the tour seem effortless.
Fantastic day tour of Hoi An

5.00We were a group of 10 family members including my elderly parents. We were lucky enough to have John as our guide for a day tour of Hoi An which included visiting a pottery vilage, a farming area and the coconut boats. John took great care of us and provided interesting information to make the experience more meaningful. His helpful and joyful demeanour was very much appreciated. We actually booked our tour through Klook but John has his own tour business and i believe you can probably go direct with him. We wish him well in growing his business and am sure he will achieve much success.

5.00John is a fabulous tour guide whose excellent English and experience growing up in Hoi An allows excellent insights into the local culture. Our teenagers rated this tour the standout on our two week Vietnam holiday. They enjoyed making noodles, vegetable farming, riding buffalo, tasting different coffees, riding the boats, fishing, making pottery and eating a plentiful and delicious lunch. John has a great sense of humour and takes memorable photos. He did a fabulous video edit as well. We highly recommend this tour.

5.00We wanted to see Vietnamese life outside of Hoi An away from the hustle and bustle of the town. John led us on a tour of the local countryside and it was terrific. We stopped at a number of places to meet local people engaged in various activities including pottery, painting, mat weaving, making noodles and a coffee roasting facility. John is a local man and speaks good English and is very knowledgeable about the region. We thoroughly recommend John’s tours.

5.00The jeep tour with Jon was absolutely awesome! Our Australian family of 6 had an amazing time seeing the sites of Hoi An and experiencing local culture. The day is action packed and can be catered depending on the group vibe. Jon has brilliant knowledge of the area, is energetic and cheeky all with brilliant English. The cooking class with a highlight as we played with fire!!
