What people are saying about Hoi An

Fabulous tour & just what I needed on my first full day in Hoi An. Really enjoyed it and learnt so much about this wonderful historic Vietnamese city and all thanks to my excellent tour guide Huy. He was brilliant and it was apparent from the outset just how proud he was of Hoi An his home city and Vietnam his native country. What a wonderful young man is Huy. I travel a lot and have used Get Your Guide many times particularly within Europe and Huy is the best guide that I have ever had. It was an absolute pleasure getting to know Huy never mind having him as my tour guide - if I could give him more than 10 out of 10, I would.
