Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. The company that organized the tour forgot to pick us up at the hotel! I had to call them, and the tour started about an hour late.

Great day out, Thien was a very good and helpful guide. Really enjoyed the Coconut Village boat ride and the Hoi An river night lanterns. Recommend.
Excellent
I did enjoyed my trip to the coconut village. The driver picked me up right in front of my Airbnb. The boat ride was good but it was a bit too hot outside because it was midday. We went to the see how silk and embroidery is made. They had a part were you could buy hand made embroidery and order custom garments, same day. We went on a walking tour around the old city. Also, some of us went our separate ways and the other stayed with the guide. Saw some traditional folk music and I won a prize. We have about 1 and bit hours to go off by ourselves. The old city is more of a tourist trap because they have a lot of shops but some of the prices are reasonable. The dinner at the end was good because they had lots of different options for all dietary needs. If you’re going on this tour make sure to bring an umbrella and wear comfortable clothes.
The tour was well-organized, and Michael gave a very insightful story of Hoi An. Overall, I am very satisfied :)
excellent
