Absolute perfection of a day! - Could not have asked for a better day than what we experienced with Kong and our driver in DaNang. From the first communication with Mr. Tran to our farewell at the cruise port, every wish was delivered and then some! Still dreaming of Vietnamese coffee!! Do not hesitate to book and enjoy all that Vietnam has to offer- cannot wait to visit again!

Ms. Chang was a fantastic tour guide! - I want to take a moment and thank the owner, Andy and our tour guide Ms. Chang. I was initially booked for the Golden Hands tour but I sent a message the day before, asking if we would switch to the Hoi A tour instead. My father is elderly and the trip was taking a toll on him. He wouldn’t have been able to make it through the Golden Hands tour. Thankfully, Andy messaged back and was nice enough to change the tour. They did a great job of sending photos of where to meet our guide, Ms. Chang and driver, which made it easy to find them once we exited our cruise ship. We were blown away at the care and passion that the driver and Ms. Chang had for our trip. The driver noticed that I had some dirt on my legs from the muddy walk and got some tissues for me, then Ms. Chang gave me some wet wipes as well. As we drove to Hoi An, she told us about the area, lots of facts and history about the area. Once we were in Hoi An, we toured a few historical houses and Ms. Chang knew so many facts about the homes and area, I was extremely impressed! My father began having a hard time walking so we once again pivoted and I asked if we could just do some souvenir shopping instead. She was happy to help me bargain and shop. She then took us to a great local Vietnamese restaurant where we had amazing pho. I really can’t thank Andy and Ms. Chang enough for their flexibility and hospitality. It was a great tour with an even better tour guide. We are so grateful that we booked with this company and had Ms. Chang as our guide.

Best way to see highlights of the Hoi An and Banang Hills area - Fantastic tour!! We arrived in Chan May by cruise ship and were here for the day. Pick up was easy and stress free. Andy was very helpful in the run up to the trip and provided pictures of the meeting point and answered all our questions. Saw golden bridge at Banang Hills, Hoi An and Danang! Saw all the highlights in the area. Andy was a fantastic tour guide. Had lots of interesting facts about the area. Was given the best lunch. Best food we've ever eaten! Also made an additional stop to see the Lady Buddha statue. Couldn't ask for a better, stress free way to visit the area. Arrived back to the boat with plenty of time. Andy and his team are fantastic. Couldn't recommend them more!

December 2023 visit as shore excursion - We have an enjoyable day tour with guide Ms Trang. We are on Diamond princess visiting December 2023. Ms Trang and the driver met us at the pier and explained to us the itinerary for the day. She was courteous and friendly and tried to fulfill our requests like getting coffee in local cafe, eating the Vietnamese sandwich in which these were outside the itinerary. We have a good day and she bring us back to ship on time with time to spare for last minute shopping too. By the way, we are the only guests in a nice AC car while our fellow ship passengers were packed in tourist bus for the same tourist spots . Definitely worth the money and highly recommended!

Very Good trip - We had a great trip. The private tour met us when the Cruise ship docked. We had a very good and knowledgeable tour guide (Tan) and driver ( Sy ). Good tour of Da Nang and Hoi an. Hoi An is beautiful and a must to see. We stopped for lunch at a lovely riverside restaurant, best meal of the whole 2 weeks. We also visited marble mountain. It's a very remarkable place and well worth a visit. Tan is very knowledgeable and we had a great day. We were delivered back to the Cruise ship in plenty of time.

Let Andy show you the way...a Vietnamese treat! - You won’t go wrong using Andy Hoi An Tours! I booked our private tour for 3 of us online about a month before our visit to Chan May port on our cruise. The choice of Andy Hoi An Tours was based on excellent Tripadvisor reviews in combination with the timely and concise responses from Andy. He worked with us to custom design the perfect tour considering our interests and the limited time we had in port...all at a very reasonable price. Our tour guide promptly met us at the cruise port by holding up a sign with our name on it. Off we went... with our tour guide Thao (I hope I spelt your name correctly) and the driver in a spotless, comfortable SKU. As we drove through the countryside Thao answered our many questions, it was great to see water buffalo and local farmers at work in their fields. He was a very knowledgeable guide who spoke excellent English. Off to the ancient city of Hoi An, we toured through a temple and an old home showing life as it once was. I loved the primitive outside kitchen that was common in years past. Along the river we met women who were selling their fresh fruit in a traditional way. The old Japanese covered bridge was a lovely remnant of those influences in history. We even managed to fit in some shopping. Next we headed off to Marble Mountain...an impressive complex of temples and Buddha’s carved into the mountain. It was a hot day and we were provided water which was very welcome. Although we didn’t want to stop for lunch we did stop for a cold drink and were able to meet Andy in person. It was a very considerate thing for Andy to take the time to meet us in person. This is a fellow who cares about you! Off to the famous and beautiful My Khe beach...it was so lovely and showed off a very nice part of DaNang. We were now on our way to back to the cruise ship and Andy stopped by the picturesque Dragon Bridge. Although there was some traffic on our way back to the cruise ship we were never concerned about getting back to the ship we’ll before the All Aboard time. All in all this was one of the best tours we’ve been on in our many travels over the years! 👏

One day in Vietnam - Private shore Excursion from Chan May Port to discover Da Nang city and Hoi an city. We would like to thank Andy, Mr Key and Mr Dong for organising our day visit to da nang and Hoi An. Mr Key, our guide, was very knowledgeable about Vietnam and the sites we visited. Thanks to Andy's clear directions at the port it was easy to meet Mr Key. Mr Key took us to Da Nang where we stopped at the dragon bridge for a photo opportunity. We then went on to the marble Mountain and were surprised by the temples and layout of the monastries. Then on to Hoi An where we were given a brief history of the city and taken to the Japanese bridge and a folk museum. After some free time for shopping we went for lunch in a pretty restaurant facing the Thu Bon River. Then we were driven back to the ship well within time. We would highly recommend Andy tours and appreciated the time Mr key spent guiding us around this beautiful country.
