Great tour! Even better guide

Susan was a fantastic guide, and had extensive knowledge of the events and sites seen along the itinerary. Susan’s English was excellent, and she had a great impact on my experience in this tour. I’ve been on several tours in Vietnam, and Susan is easily the top guide that I’ve had so far. If possible, book a tour with Susan.

Basket Boats & Hoi An by Night

This tour was great. The Basket Boats were a lot of fun. Hoi An is so beautiful, especially at night, the town comes alive in colour. But beware it is very busy. We had a traditional dinner with our group, which was delicious. DacoTours organised our pick-up in Hoi An for an additional USD10. But the best part was our guide Candy. She was very knowledgeable and had a lovely personality ♡
