Hi Fingo, I'm looking at private tours in Hoi An and would love your advice on what might fit best. Could you suggest a good starting point?
You can edit the message before sending. Zalo stays as a secondary local option.

A local guide, not a booking platform
I grew up 200 metres from the Japanese Covered Bridge, in the part of the Old Town you will spend most of the walking tour in. I answer every WhatsApp message myself, usually within 2 hours, 07:00 to 21:00 daily.
“I cap every tour at six guests, so it still feels like showing friends around my hometown.”
No shared bus, no fixed group schedule, no handoff to a different guide on the day. You book direct, you talk to me, and the price is about 20% below Tripadvisor or Viator.
Why book direct
One local contact from the first message to the end of your trip, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup and no deposit asked at booking.

Why a Hoi An local guide
What a private tour Hoi An with a local guide actually includes
A private tour Hoi An is shaped by who walks it with you. As a Hoi An local guide born 200 metres from the Japanese Bridge, I cap every group at six, answer WhatsApp within two hours, and pace each route around your day, not a group schedule.
Private group of 1 to 6
No shared bus pickups, no fixed schedules. Start times and pace adjust to your flight and energy, not a group calendar.
Reply within 2 hours
WhatsApp answered by me personally, 07:00 to 21:00 daily. No chatbots, no booking agents, no waiting for a platform.
Free cancellation 24h
Full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before pickup. Reschedule offered free of charge for poor weather or flight delays.

What guests share after their day with me
5.0 / 5 · 104 reviews
“Fin was Awesome!!”
Fin was with us our stop in Hoi An to Hue over 3 days. He was very knowledgeable and had lots of great information. He shared what life is like in Central Vietnam and was able to add so much to our tours. As a family of 4 he was patient and understanding of what we needed and eager to help. He 100% made life easier during our stay here. I would highly recommend using Fin if you ever come to this part of Vietnam.

How booking works
A simple three-step start
The process stays intentionally direct so planning feels calm on mobile and easy from anywhere.
Step 1
Message on WhatsApp
Send your dates, group size, hotel name and which tour you want. Most travellers send 2 or 3 lines, no form to fill in.
Step 2
Get a written quote in 2 hours
I confirm price, pickup time and meeting point in writing on WhatsApp. No deposit asked at this stage, no obligation to book.
Step 3
Pay on the day
Cash USD or VND on the day of the tour. International transfer or Wise also accepted in advance if you prefer. No credit card processing fees.
Custom trip support
Have something more personal in mind?
If no single tour fits, start with your dates and interests. I can help shape a slower route, a food-led evening, or broader Central Vietnam support.
Hoi An through local eyes
The kind of day I want you to remember
Warm light, slower pacing, and small local details shape the experience long after the tour ends.
I grew up between the Japanese Covered Bridge and the An Hoi night market, which is the area you will spend most of the walking tour in.
Many of the food stops belong to families I have known since school, so the welcome is genuine and the kitchens let me show you what is being cooked.
When the tour ends I am still on WhatsApp for the rest of your trip in case you need a tailor recommendation, a transfer or a same-day suggestion.
