Hi Everyone! My name is Loi (David), and I am proud to call Hoi An my home. For more than five years, I have been working as a professional tour guide, sharing the rich history, diverse culture, and delicious cuisine of central Vietnam with travelers from around the world. Guiding is not just my profession—it is my passion. When I wake up each day, I always think about how I can offer a unique and authentic experience to my guests. From the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An to the mountains and coastlines of Da Nang, I love creating tours that bring Vietnam to life. I am easy-going and flexible, and I always tailor my tours to suit the interests and preferences of each traveler. Some guests want a deep cultural experience, others prefer food adventures or a mix of history and relaxation—and I enjoy customizing each journey so it feels personal. Together, we’ll craft unforgettable memories, perfectly suited to the desires of today’s discerning tourists. To ensure professionalism and safety, I hold an International Tour Guide License in English and Japanese, issued by the Vietnam Ministry of Tourism. I also earned a Bachelor’s degree in International Studies at Da Nang University of Foreign Language Studies, which gave me a strong foundation in culture, languages, and tourism. While I am not a car driver myself, I always work with professional and skillful drivers to provide safe, comfortable private transportation. For smaller groups or guests who want to travel like a local, I can also guide you on my motorbike—an exciting, safe, and fun way to explore Vietnam. Over the years, I have guided many types of tours, from walking food tours and countryside explorations to cooking classes and historical journeys. Travelers often describe me as warm, friendly, and attentive. I take pride not only in sharing knowledge, but also in building genuine connections with my guests. With me, you won’t just see Da Nang, Hoi An—you’ll experience them like a true local, with stories, laughter, and authentic encounters. So, let’s go and explore together! I promise to make your journey through Hoi An and central Vietnam meaningful, memorable, and full of joy.
