Great half day countryside tour - scooters with drivers - Local Buddy Tours are a fantastic company. We are a UK family of four, our two teenagers were a little nervous about going on the scooters but Thanh and his three fellow riders were amazing. Very professional, reassuring, safe and fun, they took us to local homes to see a taste of village life. We helped to fry rice paper, and weave traditional sleeping mats. We saw a boat temple dedicated to whales, we went crab fishing by boat, we saw a beautiful vegetable farm at sunset, and finished at a magical restaurant overlooking all the lanterns on the river. It's clear Thanh and the team have much respect for the local people. Special shout out to Lanh for his great information. This tour is highly recommended!

Authentic Vietnamese Experiences With A Great Team Of Local Guides - We recently went on 4 private tours with Ben and his team of guides at Local Buddy Tours (Hoi An Walking Tour, Countryside by Motorbike, My Son by US Army Jeep, Full day at Marble/Monkey Mountains, Hai Van Pass and mountain spring/waterfalls). The experiences we had on those days were the highlights of our trip. We got to see the real Vietnam, meet the locals, visit their houses, try making rice noodles, weaving mats, making lanterns and generally see things that the average tourist doesn't. Our main guides were Happy-Tea, Sunny and Ben (supported by the rest of the team - drivers, bike riders and more), all very knowledgeable and passionate locals who were very excited to show us their town and people. Local Buddy Tours is a very well run operation, making sure we saw as much as we could, but also being very flexible based on our family's specific needs, energy levels and weather conditions. Local Buddy also supports locals who want to earn English and we spent an enjoyable Sunday morning with a group of his students at a local cafe, helping them get used to our Aussie/English accents! If you want a genuine, private, fun and well-organised tour in the Hoi An/Danang area of Vietnam, I fully recommend you getting in touch with Ben to book in your tour(s)!

DO THIS TOUR!! - This was the best tour we have done in vietnam, such a privelege to visit people in their homes and share experiences and stories, topped off with a huge fresh set menu meal. Our guides were so patient and attentive with cold drinks on hand. Weaving through the back villages and fields in amongst the local families.

Fantastic & Highly recommend! - This tour was one on my highlights in Vietnam. As a 59year old female and doing this tour by myself I felt very comfortable and safe with Thanh in his presence and on the back of his bike. Thanh could speak excellent English and did not rush anything at all. It was great having hands on experience when visiting all the places and the locals were also very friendly. We did everything promised on the itinerary and the dinner we had at the end really did exceed my expectations. I will definitely recommend LOCAL BUDDY TOURS to my family and friends and will be sure to do another tour with them when I return to Vietnam one day. Thanks Thanh your a gem!

See the real Hoi An countryside - Fantastic experience. Felt like we saw the real Vietnam. Off the beaten track and could only be done by motorbike. Thanh was great guide with excellent English. We were not experienced on bikes but felt safe and comfortable. Highly recommend.
