We had a great experience in Hoi An with our guide Minh. He took us on an off beat tour to explain the local culture and customs through a visit to a family temple, first hand experience of local craft and food making with very delightful conversations explaining the Vietnamese traditions. He also helped us to pick up a few items from the market. Not the least, he clicked amazing pictures of us as well. Would strongly recommend :)…

After joining tours with a similar organization, Saigon Hotpot (in Ho Chi Minh), I was eager to go on a tour with Hoi An Mates. It made my Hoi An experience a special one to explore the popular sights (Ancient Town) and the local village life with the company of this organization. Making friends with locals and learning about Vietnamese culture with casual conversations was a cornerstone of my trip. Although I was one of the first tours after the COVID travel ban for tourists, the tour guides enthusiastically updated the trip itinerary when we hit unexpected surprises. Both of the tours I had were led by local college students from Da Nang and I couldn’t be more happy with the time we spent together. It was such a memorable experience to immerse myself in the culture. Although it was a free tour (after you cover tickets, food, transport, etc.), I would have been willing to pay 5 times more if this were a paid tour. Thanks to my tour guides, Tuyen and Tien, for giving me this experience!…

We visited Hoi An and decided to book with Hoi An Mates after reading the reviews online. I had to cancel one day due to a tummy bug and Chi rescheduled without an issue. On the day, we met Thien who was friendly and open. He showed us the main sights of the ancient town and explained cultural nuances. He took us to the most amazing herbal drink shop and afterwards we went for a drink together by the river where he shared more of his life and aspirations. What an amazing guy and fabulous tour. We loved it. Thank you Tien. See you next time. Zoe and Stuart…

This was a nice experience with our lovely student David. We recommend this as a good alternative to the commercial package deals that only cater to the travel companies' kickbacks. This way we had a lovely relaxed bike ride, evening boat ride amongst the tourist boats to dock in the old town. We rode back to our hotel afterwards.…
