Hieu hat uns die Geschichte des Champa Volkes auf interessante Weise übermittelt. Hieu weiss sehr viel über die vietnamesische Geschichte, was es für uns sehr spannend gemacht hat. Wir durften mit Hieu einen lehrreichen Morgen erleben. Wir können Hieu als Guide sehr empfehlen.Interessante Tour

Hieu (Tony) took really great care of my family and I during our visit to My Son and Hoi An. We visited My Son before the crowds and Tony shared alot of knowledge he had on the area with us! We ate great local foods and tasted great coffees. Hieu is also an amazing photographer and took fabulous photos of my family! It was such a pleasure to hang out with Hieu the whole day, always with a smile. Six stars for Hieu!! Beautiful day trip with Hieu!

We booked the tour to get an overview of Da Nang and Hieu was already very helpful in the booking process. He layed out the different tour options and made sure he had the right hotel to pick us up. Even a last minute hotel change wasn’t a problem. The tour itself was very good. Because Hieu came with his own car we could leave stuff in it at the different stops and Hieu even had water for us in the car. We change the plan during the day, because we had already seen some places. Hieu knows the city very well and came up with a different route for us. While drinking a coffee at the end he also answered all our questions about Da Nang and gave some great tips. Hieu’s English is excellent. Thanks again Hieu!Great and flexible Tour

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

This is my first time with Withlocals and I had a pretty mediocre experience, unfortunately. I thought the price was pretty expensive for what we got. Hieu was a very nice gentleman, who was on time and patient. He waited for us to install a pretty difficult car seat into his car. He was also pretty quiet, and reserved so we had to ask questions to get some history and context of Vietnam. Nothing really stand out in the tour to Hoi An for us, we stopped by a temple and wasn't given anything history besides the fact that the frame of the door was written in Chinese. I think it's important to really have a plan for a tour like this and actively point out interesting people, food, streets, stores etc. as we go along. We really felt like we were with a driver more than a tour guide during this trip. A pretty expensive tour for what you get

We spent approx 8 hrs with Hieu we were on a cruise ship and having him pick us up (family of 6 ) and take us to the Golden bridge tour was so amazing He greeted us at the gate of the cruise ship and had all the local contacts and knowledge to make us cut some lines and get in and out so quick and effortlessly It was the best money we spent having him for the day and he also had a driver with a mini bus Amazing guide

Hieu was amazing right from the start and we felt he went over and above. So knowledgeable about a wide range of subjects beyond just Da Nang and the local food scene. A really nice guy to spend time with and a great selection of local venues and food. We’ve been to Vietnam a number of times and still got to try new foods and learn new things. We simply can’t recommend Hieu more highly. Unforgettable Da Nang day!!!

And thank you for your patience in answering my questions about Vietnam. It's so nice to learn and talk to a LOCAL.

Our group really enjoyed meeting and touring with Hieu. Extremely personable and knowledgeable, Hieu made our tour and dinner in Hoi An a memorable experience. Due to rough seas our ship arrived late into Da Nang but Hieu gladly accommodated our new schedule and our request for an amended itinerary. Hieu is simply an exceptional guide that will enhance your Vietnam experience!Five Star Guide

Was travelling with 2 young children and 2 elderly and was thankful for having Tony as our guide for my family. Not only did he gave great recommendations before and during the tour, he was also very patient and flexible with our needs. My children truly enjoyed his company and we knew we are on safe hands. Many thanks again and I will definitely recommend Tony as a great guide!

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 was very informative of the history of all the places that we exployed. I have learnt alot. He also took us to great food choices. The boat ride in Hoi-On was a treat. Hieu was so very pleasant and easy to communicate with because he made us feel so very comfortable. Greatest experience

Hieu “Tony” was an excellent communicator, extremely knowledgeable and provided an outstanding tour. He has a passion for his county and can give you great insight into Danang, its people and beautiful culture. A fabtastic tour with an amazing guide!

Hieu is a great host - highly recommended! I am currently 6 months pregnant and traveling with two elderly folks, he was really attentive and considerate and paid a lot of attention to our needs. Hieu is punctual and his English is probably better than mine - speaks great English! 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!

WaiYin🇸🇬 Singapore

Hieu is a knowledgeable and pleasant guide. Customised a Danang tour for us to include tasting of 8 types of food with a visit to Hai Van pass, the Han market and the Cham museum. Careful driver. Professional and thoughtful. Even recommended us good restaurants in Hoi An. Food tour & guide highly recommended

Mark🇬🇧 United Kingdom

23 October 2024

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

I highly recommend Tony as your tour guide. He showed us all the highlights of Da Nang combined with a food tour and we were very impressed how knowledgeable he is - he has all the answers to our questions. He is very professional, drives safely and patient as we were travelling with our energetic 4 yrs old son. It’s a plus he takes great photos too! We learned so much about Da Nang and also about Vietnam’s history, thank you Tony! All the best to you and until next time!Amazing Da Nang with Tony

Having Tony as our family’s guide for the morning and afternoon was so good. Huge knowledge of the 2 places we went, and such a genuinely lovely man. Couldn’t recommend doing any tour with Tony high enough. Thankyou for taking care of our family and giving us an amazing Danang personal experience.So good

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

Siti🇸🇬 Singapore

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

Tony was one of the best tour guides we’ve ever come across. He led our group of 4 adults, 2 seniors and 3 kids for 4 days to Danang, Hoi An and Bana Hills. He was able to be flexible each day, which was so needed given we traveled with little ones. He was personable and his English was excellent. We highly recommend Tony if you plan to visit Danang and surrounding sights.Excellent local guide

Hieu gave me exactly the experience I was looking for. A real local insight into amazing Vietnamese food full of history. I loved the places we visited (all the store owners were welcoming and kind) and Hieu always went above and beyond to ensure I had the best time possible. 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

We had the pleasure of experiencing a tour to Ba Na Hills in Da Nang with Hieu (Tony), and we cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, Tony's excellent communication skills made us feel at ease and well-informed about what to expect during our tour. He was not just knowledgeable and professional, but also incredibly caring and compassionate, particularly toward my 83-year-old mother. Tony went above and beyond to ensure that my mother was comfortable and engaged throughout the entire tour. He showed the utmost respect and care, always checking in on her and adjusting the pace of the tour to meet her needs. It’s rare to find someone so genuinely concerned about the well-being of their guests, and Tony's compassion truly made our experience unforgettable. If you're looking for a tour guide who is not only knowledgeable but also deeply caring, Tony is the one to choose. Thank you, Tony, for your care, compassion and making our time in Da Nang unforgettable.Best Tour Guide in Da Nang

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

Tony was a great guide who was very accommodating, tailoring the itinerary to meet our specific requests with ease. Punctuality was never an issue, as he was always on time and well-prepared.

My wife & I would very much recommend any tour with Tony as his knowledge and recall of facts is second to none. He brought his tour to life with lots of stories and anecdotes and the day flew by. His car is immaculate and his driving extremely safe on the crazy Da Nang roads, we always felt safe and happy in his company. Tony was very entertaining and engaging and knew when to be the tour guide and when to leave us be in our thoughts. He is also a very honest person as I left my expensive sun glasses in his car by accident and when he found them he came all the way back to our hotel to return them in person. You may pay a bit more for With Locals tours but in my experience you get what you pay for and that is certainly the case with Tony! Great guy, highly recommend! Would give 6 stars if I could!Great day with a very knowledgable guide!

As a family travelling with a 3-year old toddler (full of personality!), we were seeking a tour experience with somebody who is equal parts knowledgeable and with good EQ! Tony was the perfect guide who balanced our needs to keep everybody comfortable, and made sure we did not miss any of the highlights. Our toddler absolutely loved Uncle Tony! Grateful to have spent the day together. BONUS: Tony also happens to take amazing photographs to help capture the memories. Highly recommend booking him for your next tour, and also some of the other explorations, like Hoi An!Our visit was enhanced with Hieu (Tony)!
