Top notch tour in Hoi An to My Son

Tin Tin was just amazing! Polite, kind, informative and funny, too! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, learned so much about Vietnam, different religions, history. My Son was lovely, although very hot! Lunch was absolutely delicious, the boat ride was just ok. The driver of the van Ngyuen ( ?) was very nice also! Everything was great!

My Son Tour

The tour guide's attitude is too bad. Not the attitude of a customer. He was the worst tour guide I have ever had.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you felt dissatisfied. However, we would like to clarify that our tour was conducted as scheduled, and our guide maintained a professional and respectful attitude throughout the tour. The tour was delivered in English as clearly stated in advance, and all services during the tour were provided as promised. Any issues that arose occurred after the tour had finished and were related to transportation arrangements, not the tour or guiding itself. We always strive to treat our guests with patience and care, and we regret that this situation led to frustration. We appreciate all feedback and remain committed to providing high-quality experiences for our guests.
