Experience the best of
Hoi An with Withlocals

"Thuy was an outstanding guide with encyclopaedic knowledge of Vietnamese and local history She introduced us to many things that you would not find online"

"Our 5 hour tour of Hoi An with Thuy was a great introduction to the special town. We were shown aspects of the town with explanations along with the history behind it which are lacking on any DIY attempt. It's one thing to simply go and see, it's a whole other deal when you go with someone like Thuy. A truly lovely 'local' lady who no doubt loves her town and it shows through her passion and genuine excitement to introduce it to others. If you want a great grounding of Hoi An, then Thuy is your lady!"

"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!"

"Wonderful 2 hours with Phuc, he has great knowledge of the town and explained so much to us. We even stopped for a refreshing iced tea. Highly recommended."

"Phuc local knowledge and passion for his home town shone through. Really enjoyed the way he delivered the tour and he was able to answer all my questions. Such an interesting and amazing part of Hoi an"

"We can’t believe how many sites we got to see in just 2 hours with Phuc. He was insightful, delightful and communicative. Thank you for the experience Phuc (and the off-the-beaten-track surprises!) "

"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. "
