Hello! I'm a passionate local tour guide based in Hoi An, central Vietnam, with 14 years of experience creating meaningful, personalized journeys for travelers from around the world.My focus is on green tourism, sustainable agriculture, and experiences that live in harmony with nature. I’m deeply committed to responsible and eco-friendly travel that supports local communities, protects Vietnam’s environment, and celebrates traditional rural life. I’ve actively participated in local government projects to promote sustainable tourism, and I love sharing authentic, low-impact ways to explore central Vietnam. I guide you personally on every tour, arrange reliable transportation (I’m not a driver myself, but I organize trusted cars and drivers), and can coordinate additional services such as farm-to-table meals using fresh organic ingredients, cooking classes with local produce, handicraft workshops, beach BBQs, sports activities, tickets, and more. Hoi An, my peaceful hometown, is an ideal base for sustainable stays — from eco-friendly homestays to luxurious hotels. You can connect easily with friendly locals, explore the famous tailoring tradition (a suit or dress made in just hours!), and join me on visits to nearby organic farms, rice paddies, and community gardens to learn about traditional farming and sustainable agriculture. Da Nang offers breathtaking white-sand beaches for relaxation, the iconic Golden Bridge, Marble Mountains, and Monkey Mountains — perfect for nature-focused exploration and responsible sightseeing. I also arrange scenic trips to the Imperial Citadel in Hue via the beautiful Hai Van Pass, highlighting the region’s natural landscapes and eco-conscious routes. In my free time, I enjoy reading books on culture and history, cooking with seasonal local ingredients, and playing football.I’m a fully licensed tour guide, certified by the Vietnam National Tourism Administration, and a graduate of Da Nang Foreign Languages University with professional training in tour guiding. Let me help you experience the sustainable, nature-connected side of central Vietnam — contact me to design your green adventure in Hoi An, Da Nang, and beyond!

Fishing Village Culture & Basket Boat Tour – Premium Private Experience (5 Hours)
Overview of your Da Nang tour
Step into the peaceful rural life of Hoi An with this exclusive fishing tour – one of the most authentic experiences you can have in Vietnam.

Unlike crowded tourist boats, this private experience takes you away from the busy town into the tranquil backwaters where time seems to slow down.Together with your local host, you’ll learn traditional fishing techniques, cast nets, and try your hand at catching fresh fish, prawns, or crabs just like the locals do. Feel the rhythm of village life as you drift past lush green rice paddies, coconut groves, and stilt houses while listening to stories about daily life in a Vietnamese fishing community. It’s a genuine cultural immersion. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the simple, sustainable lifestyle that has existed here for generations, far from the usual tourist trail.
