Experience the best of
Da Nang with Withlocals

"My wife and I are seasoned travelers and have been to Vietnam over 15 times without a guide. You wouldn't think we would need a guide for a day trip to Bana Hills but we were so happy we booked Tony to make our experience seamless! There are many different cable cars and funiculars and secret ways to get lifts to allow you to save your energy! Tony knows the best ways around Bana Hills! He will secure your tickets and reservations! You simply pay a guide fee of about $100 bucks. After flying 23 hours and spending big bucks to come to Vietnam; trying to save on a do it yourself day trip to one of the most popular destinations in Vietnam didn't seem like a good idea. That's where Tony came in! We reached out to Tony in advance of our trip and his communication skills, both verbal and written, are excellent! The same was true with his follow up skills! We expressed our interest in limiting the amount of steps (Bana Hills has a lot of steps), narrowing our focus on the things we liked and adjusting in case of bad weather (a typhon did come and we shifted one day) and Tony could not have been more accommodating or pleasant. He arranged everything for a stress free day focused on our needs! We had a fantastic day at Bana Hills with our 3 kids (age 32)! Tony explained the attractions and we focused on all of the things we liked! He was on time picking us up and getting us home. No request was refused (we even stopped in Da Nang for take out food on the way back to Hoi An). Do not hesitate to book Tony...in fact HURRY UP and book him before someone else does for the dates you're interested in! You will be so glad you did!"

"We enjoyed a wonderful cycle tour of the rice paddy fields with Tam. He was very patient and managed to sort a smaller bike out for our youngest daughter. Tam was extremely friendly and made the tour an interesting and enjoyable one for us all. We would thoroughly recommend him to anyone wanting to explore Hoi An Thank you Tan"

"Our visit to Hue was the first of two days with Tony. His fluency in English along with the knowledge of the area and the history made it an amazing day. "

"We had such an amazing experience with Phuc that we booked two tours with him: First we enjoyed that Highlights & Hidden Gems of Hoi An so much that we booked the 10 Tastings of Hoi An: Street Food tour. The cultural city tour was fantastic. Phuc’s kindness, fun energy, and deep local knowledge made us see Hoi An in a completely different light. We discovered corners of the ancient town we’d never have found on our own, and his stories brought so much history and local life to the beautiful streets. We enjoyed it so much that we booked his food tour a few hours after we finished the cultural tour. It was the perfect blend of delicious tastings, hidden local spots, and cultural moments woven throughout. We got to try a range of dishes, from family-run restaurants serving recipes passed down for generations, to not one but two versions of banh mi: one hip with a looooong line of tourists (which he bypassed to grab us an order inminutes) and an one old school eatery inside someone's home. There were funky cafés, sweet and savory bites, refreshing drinks, and plenty of local color along the way. Phuc is an incredible host. He's warm, funny, and genuinely passionate about sharing his city. If you want to taste the best of Hoi An and see it through a local’s eyes, don’t miss this! We highly recommend booking both tours if you can. You won’t regret it!"

"I would thoroughly recommend taking a tour with Hieu. From initial communication through to final goodbye the experience was excellent. We took a day trip to Hue from Hoi An which provided a day full of historic and cultural information and sight seeing. Our many questions were answered along the way. Hieu picked the perfect place for us to enjoy lunch based on our preferences and thoughtfully kept my husband’s mobility issues in mind. With a return to Vietnam in the future I would not hesitate to contact Hieu again. "

"Such a nice person, full of enthusiasm and information. We cycled through villages and paddy fields, learnt a lot and experienced local life. A tour your not to be missed! "

"Hieu was an amazing guide. Every stop featured amazing food, and he truly made the evening unforgettable. Hieu was knowledgeable, friendly, and wonderfully engaging, sharing fascinating insights and making us feel very welcome. This tour is perfect for anyone looking for a delicious and memorable way to explore the local food scene!"
