We booked an individual tour including some foodspots and a nice biking tour. We visited some traditional spots and handcrafting places which we could also try by our own. We would highly recommend to book a tour if you are interested to learn about local traditions from a local guide. Great experience!!

We went on a nice bike ride with Tam I’m the country side. It was nice to get a view of Hoi An behind the busy old town part. Our kids really enjoyed it too especially making their own rice cake and helping with the weaving of the mats. Highly recommend this easy but interesting bike trip.Fun trip away feim vusy center

We were to find a off track tour for our last day. After 12 dais in Vietnam, not an easy one. Phúc made it happen by proposing something great, for adults and 2 kids. Fantastic immersion in local life, (rice paper and mat) while going through plantations (corn, rice, peanut….) If you want to escape from the craziness of Hoi An and find some authentic experiences, here you go! Incroyable

During our recent trip to Hoi An, we had the pleasure of exploring the hidden gems of the town with Tam, a fantastic local tour guide. What started as a simple 2.5-hour bike ride quickly turned into one of the most memorable experiences of our travels. Tam’s deep knowledge of Hoi An, combined with his warm, kind empathy, truly made this tour stand out. From the moment we met Tam, his enthusiasm and love for his hometown were evident. We cycled through picturesque lanes and winding paths, areas we never would have discovered on our own. Tam took us to places off the beaten path, showcasing the quieter, authentic side of Hoi An, far from the usual tourist crowds. One of the highlights of the tour was visiting two local families. These weren’t just quick stops, but opportunities to immerse ourselves in the daily lives of the people who call Hoi An home. Tam’s storytelling brought these visits to life, as he shared rich, fascinating insights into local customs, traditions, and the people’s way of life. We were not just tourists; we felt like guests invited into the heart of Hoi An. Tam also took time to explain the importance of the surrounding rice fields, shedding light on their role in the local economy and how they have shaped life in the region for centuries. His passion for the area, coupled with his knowledge, made the experience feel not just educational, but deeply meaningful. What made this experience even more special was Tam’s kindness. He’s not just a guide; he’s a genuinely lovely person who clearly cares about his guests. His empathy and easygoing nature made the tour feel personal and unique, and we were lucky to have him show us a side of Hoi An we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. If you’re planning a trip to Hoi An, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Tam. It’s an experience you’ll cherish and remember for years to come! A Wonderful Journey with Tam

Our group of 4 went out for our tour in the morning starting at Phúc's mother's restaurant for breakfast before setting out to the Hoi An countryside which is beautiful and interesting. Phúc is an excellent communicator and had answers to everything we asked. One of our group was unsure on their bike and Phúc was super supportive and provided plenty of help and support. We stopped at a rice paper maker and a grass mat maker both of which were super interesting. There's no pressure at all at either stop but you can buy something if you want (we did). It was my favourite day out in Vietnam as a whole and I recommend Phúc in particular. Best activity for Hoi An

I can't really comment about my experience with Tam, as he got his friend, Phúc to replace him on the day itself at the last minute without informing me. Because of this, I deducted some points from my review. However, Phúc was a friendly and good guide. Before we started, he took the time to explain to me the plan for the day and was open to changes when I told him that I already visited one of the places in the plan and made some recommendations for other good food near my hotel when I asked. Although I was a bit disappointed that we didn't manage to cover everything that was planned, Phúc brought me for some surprisingly yummy food and it was a nice change of pace checking out the outskirts of Hoi An. He was patient and made an effort to try and explain things to me even though I could tell English wasn't a language he was super comfortable using. I had a great time with Phúc and it was nice walking around Hoi An and getting to know the place. Thank you Phúc for the experience!Day trip to Hoi An

We wanted to have a day out of the town and the chaos of TET celebrations and he took us out into the countryside surrounding Hoi An. It was really great to experience that.

We had an amazing afternoon with Tam, riding through the rice paddies and villages outside Hoi An. Tam was funny, informative and helpful, and although we didn’t realise at the time he took lots of photos of us riding around. Visiting the rice paper makers and mat weavers was thought provoking and educational. The riding is not hard, and there is no better way to see some of the real Viet Nam. Couldn’t recommend it higher.Such a fun day out!

Our family absolutely loved our tour with Tam. Riding electric scooters through the countryside was such a fun way to see the area, and with hardly any traffic, we felt totally at ease. Tam took us to visit some local families who make things like rice paper and sleeping mats by hand. It was such a unique experience and felt really special to be welcomed into their homes. Afterward, Tam brought us to a few restaurants to try local food – everything was delicious! Tam explained so much about the dishes and the culture, which made it even better. Plus, he’s just a super friendly guy to hang out with. This tour was a highlight of our trip. We’d 100% recommend it to anyone visiting Hoi An!Awesome tour - A Highlight of Our Trip!

We had a fantastic afternoon with Tam cycling through the countryside and villages, visiting local families to learn about rice paper making and mat weaving. You can tell Tam is proud of the families and their traditions. We went late afternoon so got the boat back across the river which was also a highlight as all lanterns were being lit up. Tam was a fabulous host who also took great photos for us. Highly recommended!Best bike tour in Hoi An

After the tour in Hoi An it was very refreshing to leave the buzz behind for 2 hrs and go on a bike tour enjoying the beautiful landscape of Cam Kim island. Tam was an exceptional tour guide with putting the stops in ideal places and share stories. We loved the visit to the local families and meeting the incredibly lovely people. I would definitely recommend this tour to others. A break from the buzz

Another withlocals guide turned up (his name is Phuc) instead of Tam. I thought they look different. Phuc whom pretended to be Tam told me it was the glasses. About 1/3 way into the tour, I was sure he was not Tam, because a couple of things we agreed, and he had “forgotten”. Pls make sure the real Tam turned up. Most importantly, I have written to withlocals about this impersonation, I haven’t heard from them it has been over two weeks. Good luck Someone pretended to be Tam!

Thank you sincerely Phúc for such a wonderful tour. This has been the best tour and experience we have had yet using WithLocal. Don’t hesitate to book this one!!!!!!!Exceeded all expectations 👍

Easily the best thing we did in our 9 days in the Danang/Hoi An area. The guide had the perfect balance of biking and stopping to share something with us or stop for pics. He showed us the best Bahn Mi before we went over the bridge into the island where we rode thru magic rice paddies, stopping for sugarcane juice, green banana, rice noodle making and treat, and floor mat making, meeting 3rd gen families keeping up their shrinking craft. We also met the wood carving folks and inlay artist. The biking was ok even for me being really out of shape, and we took a boat back to the heart of Hoi An. Best to take some small d20,000 notes or even more to tip the artisans as they don’t make a lot of money. I also tipped our guide d100k. The only weird part is we booked with Tam, and the app sent me messages that I was communicating with Tam, and when we met in person, he called himself Tam, but looking at pics when we got home, it was obviously Phuc, not Tam who we’d just spent 3 hours with. Weird because he was great and I whatsapped him to find out the deal so I can refer people to him, but he didn’t reply. Because of that, I’m knocking off a star but it was a fabulous, special experience that I highly recommend. Best experience - country sites and people

We had a great time exploring the countryside on our morning, opting for this rather than a more touristy option. We were able to explore the countryside and see a much more authentic local experience. It was great to see the mat weaving and the wood carving. Tam had a great knowledge about the area. It was very special meeting some of the local families who still practice traditional crafts. We picked a really hot time of the day as it was our only free time, but Tam made sure to adjust the program fittingly and made it work despite the heat and we had lots of beautiful stops and beautiful cold local drinks. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone! Perfect Day Out

It was such an amazing and inspiring trip riding with Phuc. We started with a meeting point in the centre than made our way towards the village out of the tourist area and that’s when we saw the village for it self. Where the local and community would live and we drove through rice field/ vegetable field and cake across cows, chicken, and children playing on the street always so ready for giving a high five too 💕 we ended our trip with learning about rice paper and the noodles. Phuc treated us with some delicious local treat and some delicious herbal tea. Can not recommend someone better than him 💙Beautiful ride in the rice field

What a great experience it was despite the rain. To be shown the home where the local rice wine was made, the rows of herbs being grown and where multiple generations have made pottery using the communal kiln was an absolute treat Phuc as our guide was so passionate about his local community it came across in all he explained to us. What a treat to be taken for rice paper rolls and be shown how to make them like a local. We would also like to say how well Phuc understood the needs of vegetarians, he was very attentive to our requests throughout our time together.Wonderful wanderings with a local!

We visited various handicraft villages surrounding Hoi An and Tam told us all about the local life with a rice wine tasting included.

Wir haben mit Robert den Tagesausflug Da Nang unternommen. Der Kontakt vorab lief problemlos über WhatsApp. Robert und der Fahrer haben uns pünktlich von unserem Hotel in Hoi An abgeholt. Als erstes ging es zu den Mamorbergen, die beiden Höhlen sind wirklich beeindruckend! Danach haben wir dann einen Halt an der Drachenbrücke gemacht und als nächstes auf dem Local Markt. Zum Abschluss ging es noch zur Linh-Ung-Pagode. Ein toller Ausflug mit vielen neuen Eindrücken! Vielen Dank! Tolle Eindrücke von Da Nang
