We went with Tommy for two of his tours and his guides are all licensed and highly professional. Command of English was good and were able to communicate effectively. For this tour, we had Kong with us. He is highly knowledgeable and shared with us many interesting bits of information. He also brought us to the famous Hoi-an Banh Mi place for dinner. Transport was clean, comfortable and everything was very well organized. Thanks Tommy!

Foodie tour was great, we ate like locals eating delicious street foods and plenty of it. Our tour guide Hanna spoke very good English. After eating we took a ride in a sampan which was fun. I thoroughly recommend Tommy DOA as a tour operator, we used him for transfers and booking other events and received great service.

My family had such a great day with Tommy. He’s such a great guy and really looks after you. We made pottery, rice noodles, rode a buffalo, went on a basket boat tour and had the best local pho to finish up. My kids aged 13, 10 and 7 loved every minute and we learnt so much in one tour. Would recommend to anyone wanting to experience Hoi An village life.

Thank you Tommy for a fantastic day out. Large, safe, SUV vehicle with seat belts for our children aged 6 and 8. Cold water and hand wipes. Delicious lunch. We packed so much in but it didn’t feel too much. Just an ideal pace to keep the kids happy. We were one of the first on the river for basket boats before it got too hot. Lanterns, pottery, buffalo ride and noodles making were all highlights! Excellent communication with Tommy via WhatsApp and he made our trip so much fun. Thank you. 😃

Our family of 5 (boys ages 19, 17 & 12) spent two days touring with Tommy and his guide Ty. We would have never been able to see all we did and learn so much local history without them! Added bonus, Lu the driver was excellent and the van was clean and cool. In addition to the countryside tour we did the Marble Mountain and Hoi An tour. Memories for a lifetime- so glad Tommy and his group were recommended to us by a friend. Highly recommend!!

We have just finished this countryside tour with Tommy after we were recommended to use his service. This was a fabulous half day tour through the culture and countryside of Vietnam. Authentic experiences in peoples villages making rice noodles and pottery, riding buffalo and coconut boats. Tommy had very good English, was knowledgeable and made the tour lots of fun and a wonderful experience for our family. Thank you Tommy!

Thanks Tommy we had an awesome day! Started the day a bit earlier due to the heat but still got everything done no rushing. Tommy’s English and knowledge is excellent and his car is fantastic. We went to pottery rice paper making and water buffalo ride. The included lunch was also delicious.

My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to be hosted by Tommy himself. His new Ford Everest was a special touch with comfortable transportation and a well working air conditioner much need in the summer heat. He is an absolute gentleman and his english is very good. He suggested that we start the tour an hour earlier than expected to beat the heat, fantastic idea! Lunch and beer was included in the price as well, very good value for money. I will be recommending Tommy to all my friends and family for their visits to the area. Thank you Tommy!
