Experience tomorrow the best of
Hoi An with Withlocals

"This bike tour with Tam was one of the highlights of my time in Vietnam. The experience was fantastic from start to finish, and I always felt safe and comfortable cycling through a variety of landscapes and local roads. What I loved most was that the tour captured exactly what I wanted to see. We rode through countryside, explored unique paths away from the crowds, visited local creative communities, and learned about traditional ways of life. Seeing the vegetable farms and hearing the stories behind the local communities gave me a much deeper appreciation for the area. And of course, spotting so many water buffalo along the way was a real highlight. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience the heart of the region beyond the usual tourist attractions. Thank you Tam. "

"We had a wonderful experience exploring Hoi An with Thuy and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting the city. Thuy is knowledgeable, engaging, and speaks excellent English, making it very easy to communicate and ask questions throughout the tour. She shared fascinating insights about Hoi An’s history, culture, local traditions, and everyday life in Vietnam, which made the experience much more meaningful than simply walking around the city. We were traveling with our two young children, and Thuy was incredibly patient, thoughtful, and helpful. She even assisted with our stroller and was very attentive to the children’s needs and moods throughout the tour. When the heat became a bit too much for the little ones, she kindly adapted the experience and joined us in a café, where she continued telling us about Hoi An, local life, and Vietnamese culture in a relaxed and enjoyable setting. What impressed us most was how flexible and caring she was. Rather than sticking rigidly to a plan, she made sure the tour worked for our family and that everyone felt comfortable. Thank you, Thuy, for a memorable and enjoyable experience. We learned a lot, had a great time, and would not hesitate to book another tour with you in the future. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "

"Thao was very knowledgeable and entertaining! Tried some local dishes in people's houses which we would never have had the courage to experience on our own. "

"Tony was amazing and was able get me to the bridge for the best opportunity to get the best photo. Tony was also very knowledgeable and provided lots of historical insight and context. Thank you very much for the amazing tour and the great day!"

"My experience with Tam in Hoi An was incredible and I can't recommend him highly enough. Signed up for the 10 Tastings of Hoi An experience with him while visiting end of March. Communication ahead was excellent and had us meet at his mom's shop. Food there was fantastic and it was great to meet his mother and learn about the restaurant's history and day to day activities. From there we went to various places around Hoi An I never would have found myself with each being an exceptional experience. You could tell he was part of the community and liked by everyone where we stopped based on the interactions plus was able to share so much interesting information. The whole time felt more like hanging out with a friend instead of following a guide around who was just doing their job. We did a similar tour in Da Nang with a different guide where the experience was only so-so and made ours with Tam stand out so much more. Connected again two days later for a bike tour that included more delicious food, beautiful scenery, visit with a local family, peaceful coconut boat ride, and finished with a great boat ride for the monthly lantern festival. Every little detail was planned out and time with him was the highlight of our trip. Anyone visiting Hoi An should absolutely book the food and/or bike tours with Tam! Or reach out and I have no doubt he can perfectly customize exactly what you're looking for. Thank you, Tam!"

"Tam was an excellent guide for our family of four including two young children. All the stops were interesting/tasty/varied and he was a goldmine of useful local information as well as kind and polite. We went later in the day and I’d recommend that from a temperature perspective as it’s easier to cope with the volume of food! It was a brilliant complement to a more brief food tour we did in Hanoi. Thank you Tam."

"What a great cycling tour we, as a family of four with two teenagers, had! Phuc was an absolutely great guide — knowledgeable and accommodating. Great communication throughout. We had a magic time learning to make rice paper, noodles and weaving mats. What a surprise! Amazing hospitality. Very beautiful surroundings cycling around Hoi An and An Hoi. "

"We had a fantastic food tour in Da Nang with Huyen. She is an excellent guide who took us to several local restaurants we would never have found on our own. Every dish was delicious, but the durian dessert was truly outstanding and a real highlight. Huyen gave great explanations about the food and local culture, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour with her!"

"My wife is not an experienced cycle rider but Tam was a very considerate and kind guide. He's very personable and knowledgeable. He took us around the Hoi An market and into the surrounding areas. This included visiting the collective allotments where we learned about local herbs, vegetables and spices. Amazing that some of these small allotments have been in the same family for a significantly long time. Half way stop for coconut coffee was a welcome 'pit stop' in the heat. An amazing tour with a very caring and interesting guide created new memories for us. We will return for another guided tour with Tam, in the near future. Hopefully including visiting his mother's restaurant. "

"Tam was absolutely wonderful! He took us on a cycling tour in Hoi An through the alleys, rice fields and vegetable village. He always made sure we were safe on the roads. Tam had so much great information that he shared with us about the area and his English is great! We stopped for a delicious coconut coffee at a cafe near the rice fields that we never would have found on our own. He was a pleasure to spend time with and an excellent guide. Thank you for a fun day!"
