Gentleman - I was so fortunate to meet John in Hoi An. I cannot praise this insightful, intelligent & caring young man enough. If I could take John with me on every holiday in the future, I would. John has this beautiful ability to integrate to every personality type, he has clearly researched every job that he undertakes, in doing so presents the information in a relevant tone adapted to what we were interested in, versus, just the same information that is expected. Our tour was bespoke, unique & simply a delight to have John with us. John was prepared for any scenario & this was one of many of the traits I loved about John. If you are looking for someone who will dedicate whatever your needs are for a tour, be it traditional or something less traditional, John is your man. John, i would employ you anywhere, anytime. You deserve the very best in your career.

Definitely book John as your Private Guide! - John was absolutely incredible! I did two tours with him - cycling tour through Hoi An’s beautiful village and farming area (with a fun cooking class and best lunch) and then a private tour to BaNa Hill. He went above and beyond to cater for everything. His english is superb and knowledge of the culture is impeccable. Even the local town “gossip” stories gave us many laughs! He is witty, kind, thoughtful and an incredibly beautiful person. I have recommended him already to many people along my travels. Keep on being amazing John, you’ll do well x

Humorous and knowledgeable - John was a great guide as I made my way around Vietnam solo. He made me feel comfortable and to realize schedule a guided tour is actually not restricting(fast paced and top short) as I thought it would be. He showed us different places to go. He was great at providing background information about the locations and things that were valuable to experience and invest in while in Hoi An. We went to restaurants, rode boats, set afloat lanterns, and was entertained by his natural humor. Was very happy with my experience.

10 star bike and boat tour - By far our favourite tour we did on our entire holiday in Vietnam
John was so informative of the region and there wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer.
We had so much fun, so many laughs and we didn’t want our time to end.
I would highly recommend anyone visiting Hoi An to book a tour with John, like us you won’t regret it
He took so many great photos of our family and he loves to take a selfie.
If we could rate his tour 10 stars we would. We will be back to see him in the future

It is quite recommended! - It is also recommended for Japanese people. Although it is only an English guide, John's personality and explanations are easy to understand and knowledgeable, and John's family, who came with us as help drivers, were also very nice people!
This time, we participated as a group of five people, including an elderly couple in their 60s and a 6-year-old, three generations of parents and children, and we rode on the back of the motorbike (with the child in the front), four motorbikes, and we drove safely throughout the trip, so we had a lot of fun without any danger.
There was no pressure to buy souvenirs or forced tips, which are common in major tours.
It was a very satisfying tour that covered all the fun things to do, such as touring local villages, riding buffaloes and coconut baskets, and making and eating homemade spring rolls out of rice paper!

Bespoke tour - We booked a basket boat tour through the hotel we were staying at which was organized by John. It was such a great activity for the kids and adults. We had a half day more at Hoi An and John kindly organized a quick bespoke tour for us to ride a water buffalo that was near our hotel. It was a perfect activity for the amount of tine we had and John organized it all. Very knowledgeable and honest.
