Quy Nhon is more than just beaches! The ancient past of Viet Nam is here - Ms Yen (Alluvia, Hoi An) while casually listening to me about my interest in visiting Champa towers in Quy Nhon, was kind enough to give me a contact for a private tour. Before coming to Viet Nam, I did some research, and made a map with all towers that are spread over the Quy Nhon area, knowing that at least one could be out of reach. I contacted Mr Thick and, after forwarding my map, in a few minutes arranged a custom-made tour that covered almost all of them. I arrived to Quy Nhon and Hanna was my guide, ans together with the driver, we hit the road. I fell in love with the Champa culture after visiting Mỹ Sơn a while ago, and this time decided to look for more. We were able to visit all towers, except one that did not allow us because of trespassing private property. So, I was able to notice some details that differentiate them from constructions spread all over the northern region of Siem Reap (Khmer culture, Cambodia). There was a phase when these two kingdoms shared a part in history. In all, it was a complete lecture on early Vietnamese culture. Now, I really wish that Vietnamese people start appreciating with pride of their past. I am also happy that some fellows had a similar interest as mine before.

Book Thích for your tour! - Thich was amazing!! We had only been in Vietnam for a few hours and booked a private tour with him to see a few Champa temples outside of Quy Nhon city. We came to the area because we wanted to learn more about the history of the temples and Thích was such a knowledgeable guide! He taught us so much about the Champa and Vietnamese cultures, the history throughout multiple wars and its affect on the country, influence of outside forces on the Buddhist practices and so much more. It was such a rich way to see already incredible structures with a guide who could go deep in the history and tell us all the stories. As two people from the States who speak no Vietnamese, Thích could clearly articulate anything we wanted to know and we appreciated his help navigating the sites.
In between temples, we stopped at a delicious spring roll restaurant where he showed us the proper way to build our own spring rolls and encouraged us to try unfamiliar foods.
Not to be ignored, the driver was great and had a nice, clean car and provided us with plenty of water throughout the hot day.
I only wish we had found his company sooner to book more than one tour with him - we really enjoyed his guidance and his companionship throughout the day.

Fantastic tours!!! - Our tours with Thich were fantastic! Thich was a great guide, and the tours were interesting. On our first tour, we visited a conical hat-making village, rice wine village, and temple. We enjoyed every location, especially the hat-making. Mr. Lan is a talented artisan, and his hat-making skills are impressive. Our second tour included a salt village, Tu Son Island, and Da Dia Reef, all of which were beautiful and interesting! I highly recommend Thich tours for a fun and memorable experience!

Best food tour in Vietnam! - The best food tour I've ever been on! Such an incredible variety of foods, history and culture of Vietnam. A beautiful car to be driven around in and most importantly the most fantastic guide we could have asked for.

Fun and interesting day! Lots of photo opps - Thich was friendly, professional and fun to have as a guide in an area that we would have struggled to make the most of without knowing the language. He gave us an overview of the culture, the history of the area as well as the stories about the pagodas and temples we visited, including the Cham ruins. We went to a beautiful beach and then to try some local dishes for lunch. The driver was also great; comfortable, air conditioned car and we had professional, reliable and prompt communication when customising and booking the tour. We managed to book last minute but recommend getting a tour at the start of your time in Quy Nhon to understand the area and the history before exploring on your own. Thich also took some lovely photos of us on my phone. Highly recommend supporting this local business!

Fantastic tour around the beaches and coast of Quy Nhon - We organised a last minute tour around the coastal areas and beaches of Quy Nhon.
Thich was an excellent guide and took us to some beautiful beaches and areas of interest.
We stopped and had lunch in a very good seafood restaurant near the beach.
Thich’s English is excellent and his knowledge of the area made the morning a real pleasure.
I could only highly recommend Thich if you need a private tour and guide.
He also has some other exciting tours that might be of interest to you.
