About us

We live here. We’d like you to see it our way.

Street in Hoi An – a Hoi An local tour company

Hoi An is small, and it is busy. As a Hoi An local tour company we see it every day: walk down Tran Phu street and a dozen people will offer you a boat, a tailor, a taxi or a cooking class. Most are fine. Some are not. From the outside, it is hard to tell which is which.

We started Hoi An Fairy Tour, a small Hoi An local tour company, because friends kept asking us the same questions. Which show is worth it? What should the airport taxi cost? Where do you eat cao lau? We wrote the answers down, and people started asking us to book for them too.

Today we are a Hoi An local tour company that writes a Hoi An guide for travellers, and we connect them with the drivers, guides, cooks and craftspeople we trust. We check prices every season. We only recommend what we have tried ourselves. And we keep a small shop for the things you forgot to pack.

The fairy in our logo comes from a story our grandparents told, about a spirit who rides through the old town on full-moon nights lighting the lanterns. We like to think we do a practical version of that job.

If you are coming to Hoi An, write to us. Tell us when, and what you love. We’ll help you with the rest.

How we work

Three promises from a Hoi An local tour company.

i.

We’ve tried it first

Every driver, guide, class and show on this site is one that one of us has used. If a supplier slips, we stop recommending them.

ii.

The price you see is the price

No booking fee and no surprise extras. We publish fair local prices, even for things we don’t sell.

iii.

Every message is read by our team in Hoi An, in English, usually within two hours between 08:00 and 21:00.
