Hoi An Off the Map with Guide Kun

We were looking for a walking tour away from the usual tourist sites of Hoi An. Our guide Kun was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared some personal stories, all of which gave us a better understanding of life in Vietnam. We visited places we would never have found on our own, and were also treated to traditional Vietnamese cakes at a home based maker. Kun also provided us with recommendations of other things to do and see in Hoi An and local villages. We walked away having gained knowledge and a new friend.

Insightful, Fun, and Authentic Tour Experience

I had an amazing experience on the free walking tour in Hoi An with our guide Kun. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of this beautiful city. He explained everything in a clear and engaging way, mixing historical facts with local stories that made the tour truly memorable. We explored hidden corners of Hoi An that I would have never discovered on my own, and Kun also gave great recommendations for food, cafés, and local activities. I especially appreciated how she took the time to answer all questions and made sure everyone in the group felt included. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience — Cảm ơn rất nhiều! ????
