An excellent experience. Our guide, Tan, was friendly and very knowledgeable. He also had a driver for the car and that made for a good experience since Tan was free to talk and show us photos and maps. He had an itinerary but was free to let us do what we wanted to do with no time restrictions. Made it back to our ship with plenty of time to spare. After we got back from our trip Tan even sent us a music video with all the pictures he took of the two of us.

A fantastic day - we were picked up from our place of choice in the city and driven to beautiful sights in Hue. Whilst on the journey, our driver (Mr Dzung) was really informative about the city and its history. He was great for the entire day! He waited whilst we took our time exploring each place, giving us facts about the places we saw. He also accommodated us and took us to a specific street food place we wanted and a cake shop when we wanted sweets.

Wow! This is an awesome, intense adventure! If you are really looking to get off the beaten path and see the countryside of the area around Hoi An, this is the trip to take. Mr. Luc, our guide, was great, he's quick to joke, speaks great English, and will take you to places you might never think to go on your own. Highlights for us were making rice pancakes with some cheerful women in their home, visiting the My Son Sanctuary, driving up and down a winding mountain road, hiking up to one of the many swimming pools in a beautiful cascading waterfall in the mountains, driving over the bamboo bridge (which is WAY harder than it looks!), and getting stuck in the mud and having quite a laugh about it! You can tailor the trip to your needs, but I recommend coming with a desire for adventure, some skills on a moped, clothes you don't mind getting wet and muddy, and good shoes for hiking/climbing. What are you waiting for!? Send them a message and get out there!

Our family had a wonderful tour of My Son with Andy. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the temples, but he also spent the ride to My Son from Hoi An explaining all kinds of interesting tidbits about Vietnamese culture and history. We had our 21 month old with us, and he was very patient. Even explaining things twice so that one of us could stay with our son and take turns going up areas where it would be hard to navigate with the stroller. We basically had the area to ourselves as tourism hasn’t quite bounced back yet from the Covid season.

I intended to go to the Citadel and Tombs independently. At the last minute I decided I wanted a guide to show me around and to explain the history. It was the best decision I made. I contacted the company directly and everything was so easy to arrange. My guide, Ms Fi was amazing. With her excellent English and local knowledge she was so informative. She was also able to answer any questions I had about the Imperial history. I was also really impressed that after mentioning I’m vegetarian, I was taken to a lovely vegetarian restaurant. I would highly recommend this really professional company (I’ll be getting touch for when I go to Hoi in a few days!).

It’s good chance to know the Vietnamese history deeply and have Vietnamese food. But scheduling and managing are not clear. After once being cancelled, they changed the price up. I had to connect to them to confirm the booking because I didn’t get any information by email.
