Overview

Hi! I’m THAO (means "herbs") – your local companion. Tired of "robotic" tours? If you want to feel the soul of Hoi An through its flavors and unique language, you’ve found the right friend!

What we'll do in 2 hours:

The "Un-Plugged" Walk: We’ll stroll through charming alleys, away from digital noise. I’ll share "hidden stories" behind the yellow walls that you won't find on Google.

Language Fun: I’ll teach you "cool" Vietnamese phrases to make locals smile. You'll learn the logic and art behind our daily words.

Street Food Break: No exhausting walks! We’ll stop at hidden gems for Banh Mi, savory snacks, or herbal drinks. (Food costs are on you, but I’ll ensure local prices!).

Real Connection: A chat between friends by the river about culture and life. No scripts, just vibes.

Why join me?

Education at heart: I’m patient and love explaining the "Why".
Digital Detox: Let’s put phones away and enjoy the moment.

Note: Wear comfortable shoes & bring a hungry stomach! Food cost not included. God bless you for a wonderful experience!

Meeting point

Bebe Tailor (05 Hoang Dieu Street)

On arrival

Meeting Point Instruction (Hướng dẫn tại điểm hẹn):
Location: Bebe Tailor - 05 Hoang Dieu Street, Hoi An.

Directions:
Bebe Tailor is a very famous and large building located at the intersection of Hoang Dieu and Tran Hung Dao streets. It is right at the edge of the Ancient Town, making it very easy to find on Google Maps or for any taxi driver to drop you off.

How to find me:
I will be waiting for you right in front of the main entrance of Bebe Tailor.

Look for me: I’ll be wearing a friendly smile and holding a small green sign (or a small branch of herbs!) to match my name, THAO.

Communication: Once you book the tour, I will send you my local contact number. Please feel free to message me if you are running a few minutes late or having trouble finding the spot.

A little note: Since we are going on a "Digital Detox" journey, let’s try to spot each other by eye contact and smiles first! I’ll be there 5 minutes early to welcome you.

Things to note

Important Information for your trip:
Food & Drinks: This is a street food discovery tour. Please note that food costs are not included in the tour price. Budget around $5 - $10 (120,000 - 250,000 VND) per person for a full belly of local delights!

Dietary Restrictions: If you are vegetarian, vegan, or have any food allergies (especially peanuts or seafood), please let me know in advance. I’ll make sure to find the best alternatives for you.

The "Un-Plugged" Rule: We encourage a Digital Detox experience. Feel free to take quick photos, but let’s try to keep our phones in our pockets to truly connect with the sights, sounds, and conversations.

What to Bring: Please wear comfortable walking shoes/sandals, a hat, and sunscreen. Hoi An can be quite warm, so staying hydrated is key!

Entrance Tickets: We will mainly explore the streets and hidden alleys (no tickets required). However, if you wish to enter specific heritage houses or assembly halls, please purchase the Hoi An Entrance Ticket ($5/120,000 VND) beforehand.

Weather: The tour runs rain or shine. In case of heavy rain, we’ll spend more time "tám chuyện" (chitchatting) in cozy covered cafes.

I’m looking forward to meeting you and sharing the "herb" (THAO) of Hoi An's soul!
