We booked the shore excursion with Tommy after reading reviews of tripadvisor. He responds my query prom ​t​ply. On the date of touring, Tommy greeted us in person, introduced the tour guide, Nap and driver at port before tour. He also arranged our group's lunch at the restaurant. He even delivered us to the port after the day tour. We all satisfied with the servies provided by Tommy Dao and highly recommended when you travel by cruise. The charges offered by Tommy are much cheaper but with better services than the cruise

I actually found Tommy Dao Tours on Trip adviser after hubby backed out of the holiday & I decided to travel alone. Most tour companies will not cater to solo travellers but Tommy designed numerous tours & reliable transfers that made my holiday very pleasurable. I saw My Son, Monkey Mountain, Marble Mountain, The wood carving Village, the silk Factory & a day trip to Hue. I had hurt my hip stepping down onto the road & running for dear life (trucks don't stop in Vietnam) on the first day of my travels & my tour guides Tee, Win & Mr Ken were extremely helpful making sure I had no further injury as they assisted me up & down steep stairs, onto boats & even carried my shopping. All these wonderful guides were very knowledgable & spoke English very well & I travelled in air conditioned comfort to each destination making several stops when there were some fantastic photo opportunities. These tours were the highlight of my holiday ......very glad I found Tommy Dao Tours & highly recommend them for Solo travellers & family, thanks guys
