Superb - This is a superb tour! It was our second one with Local Buddy Tours. My 11 year old son and I first went on the jeep tour of villages around Hoi An with them (also highly recommended!), and after it decided to book more. Thanh is a superb guide who speaks English really well and is a charming man really interested in people. My son really connected with him and insisted we have him on all three tours we did with Local Buddy Tours. Tai is an exceptional driver, we were very comfortable all the way. Thanh suggested we set off early to avoid the heat and crowds, which turned out to be an excellent idea! The sanctuary was a beautiful place and it was made more interesting Thanh's knowledge about its history and fascinating facts. The lunch we stopped for on the way back was a delicious authentic local meal, full of locals - I think we were the only travellers there. It didn't feel like a tour, more like being shown around by local friends. Go!
