Hoi An village life - My family had such a great day with Tommy. He’s such a great guy and really looks after you. We made pottery, rice noodles, rode a buffalo, went on a basket boat tour and had the best local pho to finish up. My kids aged 13, 10 and 7 loved every minute and we learnt so much in one tour. Would recommend to anyone wanting to experience Hoi An village life.

Fantastic! - Thank you Tommy for a fantastic day out. Large, safe, SUV vehicle with seat belts for our children aged 6 and 8. Cold water and hand wipes. Delicious lunch. We packed so much in but it didn’t feel too much. Just an ideal pace to keep the kids happy. We were one of the first on the river for basket boats before it got too hot. Lanterns, pottery, buffalo ride and noodles making were all highlights! Excellent communication with Tommy via WhatsApp and he made our trip so much fun. Thank you. 😃

Two fun days in Vietnam - Our family of 5 (boys ages 19, 17 & 12) spent two days touring with Tommy and his guide Ty. We would have never been able to see all we did and learn so much local history without them! Added bonus, Lu the driver was excellent and the van was clean and cool. In addition to the countryside tour we did the Marble Mountain and Hoi An tour. Memories for a lifetime- so glad Tommy and his group were recommended to us by a friend. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful countryside tour of Hoi An - We have just finished this countryside tour with Tommy after we were recommended to use his service. This was a fabulous half day tour through the culture and countryside of Vietnam. Authentic experiences in peoples villages making rice noodles and pottery, riding buffalo and coconut boats. Tommy had very good English, was knowledgeable and made the tour lots of fun and a wonderful experience for our family. Thank you Tommy!

April county side - Thanks Tommy we had an awesome day! Started the day a bit earlier due to the heat but still got everything done no rushing. Tommy’s English and knowledge is excellent and his car is fantastic. We went to pottery rice paper making and water buffalo ride. The included lunch was also delicious.

Awesome Tour - My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to be hosted by Tommy himself. His new Ford Everest was a special touch with comfortable transportation and a well working air conditioner much need in the summer heat.
He is an absolute gentleman and his english is very good.
He suggested that we start the tour an hour earlier than expected to beat the heat, fantastic idea! Lunch and beer was included in the price as well, very good value for money.
I will be recommending Tommy to all my friends and family for their visits to the area.
Thank you Tommy!

Excellent service from Tommy! - Tommy was brilliant to work with ahead of our Vietnam trip and helped me to plan out activities. His communication was excellent and he’s very reliable. We had the pleasure to meet Tommy when he took our family on a wonderful Hoi An countryside tour where we got to enjoy riding a water buffalo, going down a river in a small boat, making our own pottery and learning how to make rice noodles. The kids (6 & 8) thoroughly enjoyed all activities! It was a very authentic experience and we loved it, thank you Tommy for taking us around during Lunar New Year!

Wonderful way to get the local flavor of the countryside of Hoi An - Wow, what a fantastic time we had with Tommy visiting several villages in the Hoi An countryside on the last day of our trip. We visited a pottery village (and tried our hand at it ourselves), learned how to make rice noodles, watched how silk is made, rode a water buffalo (a highlight for my son), and of course, did a basket boat ride in the Water Coconut Forest. Other than the basket boat ride (which was pretty packed with tourists), we rarely saw another tourist, which was a bit like getting to hang out with our guide's friends in the villages surrounding Hoi An - my favorite way to explore a new area. Tommy was great with my kids (ages 12 and 10) and recommended swapping out a farm visit to see how rice noodles are made instead, which was both interesting and fun. We ended our half day tour with a delicious pho lunch by the river. An extra and unexpected bonus - Tommy took photos throughout the morning and sent them to me afterwards, so I actually have some photos with me in them! Don't hesitate to book with Tommy Dao tours. We added an airport transfer to Danang the next day. The price was just right and the cars were super modern and clean. We love Vietnam and its people!

Five star service - As usual, great service from Tommy Dao. Lovely clean vehicles. Was waiting at the airport ready to pick me up. Utilising his services for my stay here. Having done all Tommy's tours before, I would definitely recommend his company, particularly his countryside tour and My Son tour.

Fun tour with great lunch - My mother, sister-in-law and niece came back from this tour raving about their experience. I was so bummed that I wasn't able to go with them. They had a lot of fun on the tour and Tommy is a great host. The lunch was really good. Would definitely recommend anyone to book with Tommy.
