We made a late call to arrange a tour of the Imperial City, lucky for us Matthew was available and confirmed straight away. We had not used With Locals before so were a little apprehensive about using a new company. However what a great decision. Matthew was outstanding, even helping us with info on where to eat the day before our tour started. His enthusiasm and expertise on the background and historical significance of the events leading up to the eventual abdication of the last King were enlightening and entertaining. It would be hard to imagine a better day exploring and learning about this slice of Vietnamese history. If you have the opportunity, definitely pick Matthew to be your guide. Perfect tour of Hue’s Imperial City

Du was just a great tour guide! We ran a little bit late, but she made it work to give us the 3 hour tour still. It was the perfect mixture of culture, history, and food. We told her we were looking for a cone hate for our cat to bring home and she went and got not one, but 3 to ensure we have one that will fit. Just extremely kind and willing to go above and beyond.Great resource for history and food

We had a very nice and very tasty evening with Du in Hue. For those interested to get in touch with the real non tourist Hue food and enjoy an evening with diverse dialogue and conversation, then book a tour with Du. Du knows the city and knows where the authentic food can be found. We had more than 10 different dishes. Du knows the origin and interesting facts. All were different in taste, appearance and textuur. There is no way we would have found them by ourselves, nor would we have orders it. Du is also a very nice and interesting person, so there was enough dialogue and conversation that the time just flew past. Thank you very much Du, we had a great evening. Sorry the review took so long😒.Fantastic diverse food tour!

We booked our tasting experience with Bich Du. She started of super friendly and had a good connection from the start. At every restaurant she had a lot to talk about all the dishes about where it originated from and what is was made of. Outside of the food she gave great advice about the city and other places to visit. When walking to the other restaurants she also had really interesting and good stories to tell about the surrounding area and typical Vietnamese traditions. Our overall experience with Bich Du was really good and would recommend her to others. Lovely tasting experience

I met her in the imperial city of Hue where we did a complete tour. She explain me the history of the place but also a lot of Vietnamese symbolism. It was very interesting. We also visited the Pagoda Thien Mu and the incense village before having dinner at a place where the locals go and it was very good. Empathetic and very pleasant.

I would book another tour with Du without a doubt the next time I'm in Hue! Thank you so much, Du, for your kindness, generosity, humour, and sharing your beautiful city with us!!!Best tour ever!!!

We had the absolute pleasure of taking a walking tour of Huế with Bích Dư, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. She was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly kind. Her English is excellent, which made the historical and cultural insights she shared easy to understand and deeply enriching. Bích Dư took wonderful care of us throughout the tour, ensuring we were comfortable and tailoring the experience to our interests. Her deep understanding of Huế’s history brought the ancient city to life, and her warm personality made our time together both informative and genuinely enjoyable. If you’re visiting Huế and want a guide who truly knows and loves this city, Bích Dư is the perfect choice.Birch Du is the perfect giude

Having been to Vietnam numerous times and tried lots of different food we were keen to see if there were things that we may be missing out on. We were not disappointed with the food we tried, sine of which we likely would have missed and Bich Du was great at talking about the food, regional differences of the same dish eg Vietnamese pancakes which I love and had noted differences. Bích Du was a very engaging and authentic guide who was generous with her personal experiences growing up in Hue which I was particularly interested in. Her English is excellent and she presented as a very bright young woman. From our discussion her main tour is the Imperial Palace Hie and I imagine this would be a great tour however we had already done the palace the day prior, When booking the tour we did think the price was quite high compared to other tours we have done and positively did not regret our spend particularly as it was a private tour. Thank you once again Bích Due 😀Fantastic food tour with Bich Du!

Du was a wonderful guide and I would recommend her to any group visiting Hue. Her knowledge of the history of the Imperial City of Hue and its residents was deep and she communicated it in a warm and engaging manner. Our group ranged from two years old to 78 years old, which meant Du had to be adaptable to change during the tour, and she was! Nothing was too much trouble, and she also gave us dining recommendations for Hue and Hoi An in the days after the tour. If the opportunity arose, I would certainly look to do another tour with Du. Great way to see and learn about Hue

Great private food tour with our new friend Du. She made the process so easy by selecting spots, ordering and paying, and then introducing the dishes to us and showing us how to eat them. It was a perfect introduction into Vietnamese street food and doing in Hue was a great choice. Not only do they have some of the best food int he country, but it's a small enough city that the tour felt easy. So tasty and fun

She's super knowledgeable about the history of the site and the country and did a good job of getting on our level to explain things in detail. She speaks perfect English and is such a fun, warm person. We ended up texting throughout the rest of our trip and truly felt like we have a new friend in Vietnam now. She's the best!Wonderful time with our new friend Du

We met Du by the 3 cannons and began our tour. She was engaging and knowledgeable in her story telling which we throughly enjoyed. The tour didn’t feel rushed and she had time for all our questions. She was easy to understand and I would highly recommend this experience. On this occasion we chose to do this as a private tour so it was expensive by Vietnam standards but for us it worth it.

Our first mission when arriving in Hue was to do the 10 tastings of Hue with Bich Du and the tour did not disappoint. Du took us to local vendors and introduced us to numerous dishes plus the original salt coffee - so good. She was an attentive host and easily accommodated some dietary requirements in the group. The next day we toured the Imperial City together where Du’s historical and cultural knowledge came to the fore. She allowed us to tour at our own pace and took time to ensure we got family photos along the way. Our final day we met at the Pagoda where again we received a personalised tour, discussing the history before we exchanged gifts and parted ways. We are not a family that would typically book a tour, but the personalised style and ability to book as private group was definitely worthwhile to get the most out of a short stay. Three days in Hue

Wir machten mit Du die Food und die Imperial City Tour. Du ist eine sehr liebenswürdige Person, welche unsere ganze Familie begeistert hat! Sie hat ein sehr breites Wissen über die vietnamesische Kultur und konnte uns die Geschichte auf unterhaltsame Weise übermitteln. Auch die Food Tour ist sehr zu empfehlen, da uns Du in viele verschiedene einheimische Restaurants gebracht hat, in welche wir alleine wahrscheinlich nicht gegangen wären. Die Speisen waren alle sehr lecker und wir hatten viel Spass mit Du. Auch hat uns Du noch weitere Attraktionen gezeigt, welche eigentlich nicht geplant waren. Auch für unsere nächsten Ziele in Vietnam gab sie uns auch nach der Tour per WhatsApp och gute Tipps. Vielen Dank für Alles Du!!! Es war SUPER!!! Perfekte Touren

We were so pleased to have Du as our tour guide. She is easy going and friendly. In addition to knowing a great deal of Hue’s interesting history, Du spoke very good English. The tour went well over time and she was happy to keep going. She also helped us in getting a car and driver to drive us to Hoi An, which was quite a feat as it was during the New Year holidays. We highly recommend Du as a tour guide and we would definitely book her again. Above and beyond!

We booked a day tour with Du to visit Hue. We communicated beforehand to share some of the highlights we wanted to see. Du was very helpful in planning the tour, doing some advanced research for us, and making recommendations to ensure we saw a variety of sites. This was very helpful and much appreciated. Du grew up in Hue so she knows the entire area and all of the sites well. Even though we were staying in Da Nang, Du was able to arrange a car to pick us up and take us around to all the sites. Du was very communicative with us about our pick up and ensured we were in the car and on our way. The driver took us across the Hai Van pass which was beautiful and we stopped for a quick coffee and some photos at the top. Once we arrived in Hue, Du met us at our hotel to drop our bags. She even brought us pastries as she knew we didn't have time to eat before leaving Da Nang. We visited 2 tombs, both very different. Du was incredibly knowledgeable about the emperors of the Nguyen dynasty and shared some interesting details with us along the way. We also visited the Citadel, and again Du's knowledge of the history of the emperors their wives and their counsel was so helpful. We learned so much about Hue from her. Du is a wonderful guide who knows Hue and its history incredibly well. We fit a lot into this day and she did a remarkable job as our guide. I highly recommend booking with Du for your tour to Hue. A day in Hue we won't soon forget.

I found Bich Du as the number 1 guide on ChatGPT as the recommendation is completely correct. Bich Du's service is completely attentive. She WhatsApp me the day after my booking to inform me the itinerary and asked me I liked to do anything else in Hue. Her explanation of the Hue Imperial City was mesmerising to me. Although I am of Chinese heritage and have been to the Beijing Imperial City, Bich Du could tell me many stories and the differences in Vietnamese beliefs and cultures. I learnt so much in just three hours with her.Personalised guide with good English

We ended up booking just the day before and Du was very accommodating. She met us at the ticket office for Imperial City and the tour began. She was full of knowledge and answered our questions. We had lots of laughs throughout the tour and learned more than we could have anticipated. The Pagoda was also a nice visit and much different from a pagoda that we saw in Hanoi. Finally, we topped it off with some local food from a restaurant that was just delicious. Du was wonderful throughout the whole experience, thank you very much! History of Hue

We were six friends and family (from NZ) visiting Hue and wanted to see the Imperial Palace. Du was easy for me to contact and to organise our trip, but best of all, she was like meeting a new friend. We so enjoyed our time with her and her knowledge was extensive. I would definitely recommend her as a guide if you want to come away having learnt so much and having enjoyed her company.Great tour - a super guide!
