Xin chào! I’m Thuy Luong (Phoebe), the founder of Phoebe & Besties.
After graduating from the University of Foreign Language Studies in 2017, I was supposed to be an English teacher at a random high school or English center in my hometown – a rural village near Hoi An. To improve my English, I joined a free tour program for foreigners around Da Nang city. Since then, my life has changed in such a way I wouldn’t even imagine. Just one word – AMAZING!!
Working as a tour guide has given me opportunities to get to know and make friends with many many incredible people around the world. From a shy girl, I soon discovered that I had a knack for listening and sharing stories. I took foreign friends to my favorite coffee spot in town, shared with them my Uni life, taught them to speak Vietnamese, and introduced them to authentic local foods.
I chose “Phoebe & Besties” as the name of our company as more than customers, I would like to treat you – any travelers to Vietnam – as our besties.
At Phoebe and Besties, we focus on Personalization – Best experiences – Community support.
- Personalization. We listen to every one of your ideas to design a tour curated to your time, budget, and interests.
- Best experiences. Your best experiences with us are what I’ve strived for. We care about YOU – our besties.
- Community support. We prioritize giving back to our community. By booking our tours, you’re giving a helping hand to the children in the mountainous areas to have a proper meal and pursue their educational dreams.
Also, I would love to use the word “besties” to cherish all of my teammates – who are also my best friends. We have known and worked with each other for more than 6 years, and I really appreciate having them as friends in my life.
