Billy’s Hidden Gems Tour – The BEST Tour in Hoi An! - If you do one tour in Hoi An, make it this one with Billy! This wasn’t just a tour—it was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure led by a guide who truly loves his city and knows its deepest secrets.
Billy is the kind of guide you dream of having—hilarious, passionate, and full of local wisdom. He didn’t just show me places; he brought them to life with incredible stories, history, and a few jokes that had me laughing the whole way through. But the best part? The hidden gems. These weren’t just “off-the-beaten-path” spots—they were places I never would have found on my own. Quiet alleys, secret cafes, stunning viewpoints—each stop felt like a VIP pass to the real Hoi An.
Billy’s care, humor, and attention to detail made this tour absolutely unforgettable. I didn’t just leave with amazing memories—I left feeling like I had a new friend in Hoi An. If you’re looking for a tour that’s fun, insightful, and packed with surprises, book this NOW. You won’t regret it!

Perfect Hoi An morning - We loved every minute of our early morning tour with Emily. She is intimately familiar with the local craftsmen we visited and clearly cares for them and her hometown of Hoi An. We learned how rice wine, fish sauce and rice noodles are made. We tried weaving with a woman who has been making sleeping mats for more than 40 years and sipped salt coffee in a garden oasis we would have never found on our own. Emily who speaks excellent English brought all to life for us.

The best experience! - Amazing experience! Highly recommend to anyone looking to see a more authentic side of Vietnam. Our tour guide, Tham, was so knowledgeable and kind. She made our experience amazing and all the activities we did were so unique and fun. Many locals welcomed us into their craft shops and were all so so kind! A must do if in Hoi An.

Five stars! - This tour is absolutely fantastic! An early start took us to the fish markets and a local fish sauce making factory. We drank delicious coffee, tasted some amazing local market snacks, made rice noodles and incense and sipped on local rice wine. We also tried our hand at making a sleeping mat !
The tour is professionally run and the guides so helpful.
This is one not to miss!!

Highly recommended tour - The tour was wonderful. We met many wonderful local people who practice and preserve professions unique to Vietnam and may be the last generation to practice them. Interesting, nice people and I actually learned a lot from them. Our guide was Emily, a young girl with a lot of knowledge, she conveyed the information in an interesting way, answered questions, took an interest in us and we had a simply lovely day with her. Highly recommended!

Wonderful experience! - Even before the tour began, I was impressed by Billy and Emily’s proactive approach. Despite the rain, Emily remained warm, upbeat, and cheerful throughout. She provided valuable insights into the often-overlooked villages of Hoi An, allowing us to explore these local communities and deepen our appreciation for Vietnamese culture. I particularly enjoyed meeting the villagers personally and hearing their firsthand accounts. Billy and Emily crafted an extraordinary experience that I will fondly remember.

Highly recommend for the most authentic tour experience! - This was an amazing way to start the day! Tham was our guide and was great. She told us all about local food, culture and gave us the most authentic tour we’ve had so far in Vietnam. She told us about the local community and also the village where she was from where we visited. We learnt about how to make rice wine, sleeping mats, fish sauce and lastly rice noodles. There was lots of yummy food for us to try along the way that we wouldn’t have tried without this tour. We never felt rushed along the way and Tham was great to explain everything we tried as well as answering questions we had. This was a great experience and I highly recommend to anyone visiting Hoi An!

Highlight of our trip! - Possibly the top experience from our trip to this beautiful country. Billy and his team curated a unique experience to visit local villages and get a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture. Personal interactions were unparalleled. We will never forget! Host Emily was the best. Communication before and execution during the experience were A+! 🙏🇻🇳🫶
