Truong is an outstanding tourguide
A1027VZlenag, October 2026
Truong was literally the best guide you could imagine. I have so much gratitude for him. He showed me stunning, breathtaking hidden gems, gave me nice historical knowledge. It was very personal and it felt like a local is showing me the city. He is a person who is not only smart and talented but also warm-hearted and generous. After the tour he appeared already like a close friend. I can only highly recommend him and would always come back to do the tour again!!!

An Unforgettable Experience with Kun!
nancysU8216VP, October 2026
My daughter and I had the pleasure of discovering the beautiful Old Town of Hội An with Kun, a local guide we booked through Momo Travel, and what an amazing experience it was! Kun was simply extraordinary! She was welcoming, caring, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. She introduced us to her beautiful city and its culture with so much passion and enthusiasm. We learned so many fascinating things that we would probably never have discovered on our own. Her English is excellent, and her wonderful personality made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We absolutely loved every minute of it! I highly recommend this activity to anyone who wants to discover Hội An from a local's perspective and learn more about its rich culture and history. **If you have the opportunity to join this tour, make sure to ask for Kun! I promise you won't be disappointed!** ❤️ Another great thing about this experience is that it is based on voluntary donations, allowing you to support local people directly and contribute to keeping this wonderful initiative alive. A huge thank you to Kun for her kindness, her beautiful smile, her sense of humor, and all the wonderful memories she helped us create. 🥰 **This is an absolute must-do when visiting Hội An! Don't miss it!** 🇻🇳✨

Amazing tour with Kun!
mariesoleild501, October 2026
We had an amazing tour with Kun! She was really nice and had so much interesting information to share during our tour. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun with her! I hope you get the chance to be with her! I totally recommend

Good
O185WZgonzaloa, October 2026
Kun was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Hoi An. The tour focuses more on historical houses and buildings than on exploring the streets, which is worth keeping in mind if, like me, you prefer a more street-oriented walking tour. Kun was also very helpful with recommendations for local food and places to buy sewing supplies.
