Review Body: It was great! So much more than we expected. We learnt to carve in a beautiful, tranquil setting. Got to look around the gallery and appreciate the grounds of the house. Trip is worth it for the setting alone. Tuition is clear and supportive, friendly and helpful, there is no rush. Their English is great too. I would definitely recommend.

Review Body: We had the most fantastic day with Vinh! He responded quickly to all communications before our trip. He had excellent English! He was on time to pick us up in the morning. He drove carefully - not too fast. He was informative, giving us lots of local information and answered our endless questions about life in Vietnam. He went above and beyond in delivering what we hoped from the day. He was fun to spend the day with. An absolute gem!

Review Body: Super convenient and cheaper than a tour. Our driver was lovely, picked us up at a time that suited us and all we had to do was message him when we wanted to leave. He was also very knowledgeable about the area. We would strongly recommend.

Review Body: We went to Ba Na hills. But we didn’t know we have to buy ticket in advance. But our guide was kind, he took me to ticket office and explain to staff. Appreciate it! The driving also good and safe.

Hoi, ik ben Vinh uit Hoi An in Vietnam! Opgroeien op het platteland heeft me geïnspireerd om mijn gemeenschap via toerisme te ondersteunen. Nadat ik als gids had gewerkt, besefte ik dat reizigers verlangen naar duurzame, cultureel rijke ervaringen. Daarom heb ik mijn reiscommunity opgericht, die locals en bezoekers met elkaar verbindt voor authentieke avonturen. We zijn een klein team, maar we zetten ons met veel passie in om via toerisme in wederzijdse balans positieve verandering te creëren. Ga met ons mee!
