Had the most amazing time with Hieu on our tour! He’s super knowledgeable and told me so many cool stories and history about Da Nang. We went to a few places by car and also did some walking around the city, he’s super attentive making sure I got to see everything I wanted to see. Told him I wanted to try some authentic local food so he took me to an amazing local lunch spot he used to visit at lunch when he worked in an office, he even showed me how to wrap and eat the rolls like a local. Had so much fun thank you so much Hieu and highly recommend!🫶🏻❤️Amazing and super fun tour with Hieu!

My husband and I booked the three-hour highlights tour of Da Nang with Hieu the day after arriving. It was the perfect introduction to the city and its history. Hieu was extremely professional annd knowledgeable and very kind. He even offered to pick us up at our hotel, making the experience even more convenient. We really enjoyed his tour and learned a lot of things about Vietnamese culture that we would have never discovered were it not for him. Overall a really pleasant and highly recommended experience. An enjoyable introduction to Da Nang

We booked a 3 hour walking tour of Da Nang expecting "highlights and hidden gems". We met at the pink church but were not allowed in. We strolled to the market and walked through the market just like we had before. We walked to the river and saw the carvings we had stopped to see previously but learned nothing new - we still don't know anything about the artists or the instillation. A nice stop for a fish cake and a visit to a pagoda and after an hour and a half our three hour walk was declared done. To his credit our guide agreed to walk with us through the Cham carvings museum for "free". The 3 hour walk that officially ended after 90 minutes cost us each 56 CAD! With Locals also has a 2 hour tour (so a half hour longer than the 3 hour tour!) for 31 CAD each!Rip off

Hieu H offered a tailored tour of Da Nang. He was excellent at communication, punctual to the meetup point, and even brought us umbrellas because of the heavy rain! He had good insight into the history and culture of Vietnamese historical and contemporary lifestyle and culture. He has excellent English and is very friendly and funny. He took us to some excellent locations in Da Nang and suggested many places to see after Da Nang. He is very familiar with the different regions around the country. He also helped us to find a reputable shop where to repair our phone. Highly recommend, 5 stars. Highly Recommended!

Hieu was the best guide we've had in Vietnam by far. So much knowledge with perfect English and was very attentive, which made the tour so much more interesting! We didn't missed a single site in our tour plan while others tours skipped parts for similar price. Took lovely photos with a professional camera for us.

Hieu is an experienced, professional and friendly tour guide that is also very responsive. When I was looking around for a tour guide, he was very responsive and was quick to provide a quote for consideration. Although I was worried about the weather since there was an airport closure quite close to my travel date, he was quick to reassure me that all was good for travel on the dates that I'll be there. On the day itself, he was friendly and professional and it was comfortable traveling around with him. His experience and expertise shows, as he was well prepared for bad weather (it rained heavily on and off while we were up on Ba Na Hills) for the both of us. As I was still recovering from a bad flu and cough, I was appreciative of his attention to detail - he sensed that I was struggling to keep moving due to the number of stairs/hills I had to manage on the tour and suggested we skip some parts to take things easy. His food recommendations were also very good and I enjoyed some surprisingly good food while I was there. Thank you Hieu for the experience in Da Nang! Day trip to Ba Na Hills with food tour

As a "Việt kiều" (Vietnamese person living abroad) I'm quite skeptical when it comes to tour guides and I'm cautious about being scammed or falling into tourist traps ... But I'm happy to say Hieu was a fantastic tour guide! We initially chose him because of his friendly and clear communication. He made some good recommendations on what to see / not to see and he was able to tailor the tour based on our interests. On the day, he was a few mins early, the car was spotless and it felt incredibly safe to be with him. My nervous system was able to relax because he was always thinking ahead for us (he was prepared for the rainy weather, he made great local food recommendations, provided plenty of water, regular bathroom breaks and he knew how to avoid crowds at busy times). He never tried to upsell anything and didn't try to make extra stops to earn a commission. I really appreciated this as it allowed me to relax and just enjoy the tour. Hieu was also extremely knowledgeable and gave us thorough explanations and lots of insight into the places we visited. We were able to ask questions and have some interesting conversations about Vietnamese history and culture (I learnt a lot). He also knows where all the best photography spots are which is fun and helpful. Highly recommend!

Hieu makes good food recommendations too and we loved everything he recommended especially the Bun Cha which really took us by surprise! When I’m back in Danang I’d definitely look Hieu up again. Thanks so much for everything Hieu :)

I only had a couple of free hours in Da Nang so booked a personal tour with Hieu. He kindly picked me up from the airport and drove me to the Cham Museum (Hieu’s knowledge was excellent), then we visited the local pagoda which was next to the museum and went over the Dragon Bridge to take photos of the Dragon’s head and also the Love bridge. Hieu was a great guide, his car was comfortable and tidy, and he was a really safe driver. Definitely a 5 star + experience!!Great experience with Hieu!

Hieu is a great tour guide and speaks excellent English. He managed to avoid all the queues at Bana Hills. We thought Bana Hills itself was underwhelming. It’s a Vietnamese Disneyland (nothing wrong with that if that’s what you are looking for) and the Golden Bridge is more of a theme perk attraction than an iconic landmark. Also the weather was so bad we couldn’t see a thing. But Hieu was a trooper and made the day enjoyable. So 10/10 for Hieu and 5/10 for Bana Hills. We also went to My Son temple which was very interesting Great tour guide

Tony is exactly what we hoped for in a guide. The tour was from Hoi an to My Son Sanctuary and Marble Mountain for my husband and me. Tony was prompt, extremely helpful, a great driver, personable and knowledgeable. My husband and I spoke English only and Tony understood and spoke very good English. Most importantly, in my husband’s and my case, Tony was flexible when it came to adjusting the tour to accommodate physical limitations we presented on the day: we couldn’t walk as far as we would have liked to, but had a great day out nonetheless because of Tony. I highly recommend him. Thank you, Tony

Hieu was a wonderful host, and was able to really adjust and adapt the tour to the needs of our group of 17 people. He fed us so well (by the last stop we were just sharing 1 plate of chicken rice amongst 4 people hahahah while others had basically given up on eating) and also shared a lot of fun, interesting facts about Danang, Vietnam in general as well as the origins of Pho! And all the food places were really good, locally patronised shops - not tourist traps! He was also able to accommodate all kinds of dietary preferences - including specially ordering rice cakes to be delivered to one of the locations as one of my friends had no alternative options available at the shop. I would just recommend that he considers working with the shops to have sample sized servings of all the food; then we can fully enjoy all of the tastes that this tour had to offer.Recommended, customisable tour

Hieu has great english and answered all the questions I had for him. I was filming a video for my YouTube channel and Hieu was happy to help me film and jump on camera to provide some interesting stories behind the food and the places we visited. Even though you pay more, its worth it for a personalised experience. I highly recommend this tour and will be booking again for sure!The best food tour in Vietnam!

If you’re planning a trip to Hoi An and are on the hunt for a tour guide who’s got it all !!! Charm, knowledge and a talent for capturing epic photos.. look no further than Tony. From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in for a treat. Not only did Tony speak English like a pro... but he also brought a level of enthusiasm and expertise that made every moment memorable. Tony's tour was a masterclass in sightseeing. We wandered through the stunning Ba Na Hills, where Tony’s tips helped us navigate the crowds and take in the breathtaking views. The Golden Hands Bridge was a particular highlight, and thanks to Tony, we not only learned the story behind this architectural marvel but also got some incredible photos that will make everyone back home jealous. Then there was My Son.. where Tony’s deep knowledge and engaging storytelling turned a simple visit into a fascinating journey through ancient history. His ability to weave facts with fun kept us all hooked and entertained. But it wasn’t just about the sights. Tony’s skills as a photographer were truly impressive. He managed to make my 3 friends and me look like we’d stepped out of a travel magazine, His eye for the perfect shot and knack for capturing candid moments added an extra layer of joy to the experience. In summary, Tony isn’t just a tour guide; he’s a master of his craft who turns sightseeing into an adventure. With his blend of professionalism, friendliness and a dash of photography magic, you’ll find yourself enjoying every moment and leaving with a camera roll full of amazing memories. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Hoi An with a touch of brilliance and a lot of fun!!!! 🙂Wanna explore Hoi An/Danang ? Ask Tony

I did Hieu's "City Familiarization" tour yesterday. I had been in town for just a few hours and wanted to see the different areas of the city and learn more about them. Hieu drove me around giving me lots of valuable information as a tourist and answered all my questions. There's nothing better than getting a local's perspective on the town. His information was wide encompassing and very practical in helping me start my vacation. If you have a chance to book Hieu, you will not be disappointed. Hieu knows Da Nang

We had the best day out with Tony. We saw some of the amazing history of Vietnam on our tour of Hue, which was the capital city from 1802 till 1945. Fascinating time visiting the Historic Citadel, Thien Mu Pagoda, incense town and the mausoleum of Emperor Tu Duc. Tony was very knowledgeable about all the history but also we really enjoyed asking about all the little day to day things and how they compare to home. He was able to explain a lot of cultural aspects of Vietnam and the differences from different regions. Tony’s English was great and his SUV was comfortable and clean. All in all we had a fantastic day and would recommend him to anyone wanting a detailed and interesting tour. Fantastic day out with Tony
