Reviews
Will recommend to my friends
I recommend the walking tour to everyone visiting Hoi An for a few days. It’s a great comprehensive brief to the history & culture of the town. Our guide was Tommy who’s a very knowledgeable local. He’s passionate about her work and his storytelling is great and fun. ☺️
Good walking tour in Hoi An
Had a wonderful walking tour in Hoi An with Cindy. She’s knowledgeable, friendly, and made the history and culture come alive. Highly recommend!
Hoi An walking tour January 2026
It was a truly wonderful walking tour, made even more special by Thanh’s detailed explanations and warm approach. Thanh is extremely experienced and knowledgeable, and he shared information in such a clear, engaging way that it never felt overwhelming. What I appreciated the most was how relatable he made everything—he connected history, culture, and everyday life so naturally that it felt like listening to a friend rather than just a guide.
Since this was my very first walking tour experience, I was a little unsure of what to expect, but Thanh made me feel completely comfortable from the start. He was patient, kind, and always happy to answer questions, no matter how small. His passion for what he does really shows, and it made the entire walk both informative and enjoyable. By the end of the tour, I felt more confident, enriched with knowledge, and genuinely inspired to explore more walking tours in the future. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone, especially first-timers—it’s promising, memorable, and absolutely worth it if you visit Hoi an.
