A great tour in the Jeep with a great guide
We went on the Buddy Tours jeep tour with the excellent guide Lanh. What a great afternoon out. Lanh had good English to be able to explain everything as we went. A nice guy and a real credit to Buddy Tours! Thanks for a great experience and we hope to come back to Hoi An again soon. Thx Steve & Julie

Local life mixed with some fun
A great experience of how some of the local people live mixed with some great fun on the basket boats and getting to ride a water buffalo.

Excellent for the rural part of Hoi An
Excellent bike tour with John as a guide, who was very knowledgeable. Even though the weather conditions were not the best, we made a great day out of it. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to see the real rural life in Hoi An, meet local craftsmen, bike in the villages and have some nice Vietnamese food in the end. The boat ride in the end was very fun as well.5 out of 5!!!

Fantastic tour to start off your day!
I booked a tour last minute and had Mr. Thanh Tran as my local guide! The trip was really interesting and I loved that I got to experience the local life in a small countryside village. Thanh was a great guide, and shared a lot of knowledge about the history of Vietnam, the places we went to and was a fantastic travel buddy for the day! I definitely recommend him as your guide! I booked a morning tour, ending with lunch which gave me a lot of time in the afternoon to enjoy other parts of Hoi An as well on my own and I recommend to do this in the morning as it is quieter and you get a more authentic village life experience. The places we stopped were great and I got to make my own steamed rice pancake, weave a sleepingmat, and went crab fishing. Before lunch we went to a vegetable / herbal farm and Thanh explained to me the typical herbs that are used in the local cuisine. Lunch was great and I got to try a lot of different dishes I had not yet tried on my travel through Vietnam. Book this tour - it really was amazing!

Adventurous jeep ride in the Hoi An countryside
This was one of the most entertaining tours I’ve ever had! In the back seat of an original US army jeep from the VN war, with Lành as my knowledgeable tour guide and Tiền, our relaxed driver. We explored the country side in the Hoi An province, stopping frequently at family-run farming businesses like weaving bed mats, fish & crab farming, growing and harvesting herbs, fruits and vegetables, and making rice papers, adoring a boat-temple used for worshiping, enjoying VN coffee flavors and taking a trip in a round bamboo boat. To top it all, a (preordered 😃) water buffalo came our way inviting me to take a fun ride on his back into the setting sun! That was awesome! We indulged in a five-course dinner in downtown Hoi An to conclude this most remarkable country trip. The many stories Lành could tell and the frequent photos and videos he took - precious memories. Indeed a tour to remember!!

Historic and fun day
The tour with Ben was truly amazing. It wasn’t just a private tour, but it more so felt like a day trip with a good friend who also knows unimaginably much about history. We learnt so much about not only the Royal History but also Vietnamese culture in general. All questions we had were answered in interesting and engaging stories. Ben and I had a shared interest in language so we talked about that too. He is likeable both as a tour guide and as a person. And as the day went on we got to know each other better. An added perk would be that Ben takes great pictures, having a good eye for it. The weather was the opposite of sunny the day of the tour but that wasn’t a hindrance. The blue lagoon was mysteriously misty, the tomb dauntingly grand, the temple pleasantly ambient and the citadel still as beautiful as ever. I recommend this tour if you want to see Hue’s highlights. The tour doesn’t miss- even including Hue’s famous foods.

Amazing food, fantastic guides , authentic experience
What a fantastic evening with Ben and John. We went to places that we would have just walked past on our own but we would have been missing out on some amazing food. We loved the food at every stop and felt like we got to know Hoi An at the same time. Ben and John were fabulous guides and taught us about the food and shared stories of their own lives. Ben was very attentive to my needs as the only vegetarian in the group and I was surprised at how many dishes were available to me. Thank you Ben and John for a memorable evening. We couldn’t stop smiling all night.

Great cultural experience.
We had a fantastic tour on 31/10/23 with John (HOàng). We learned so much about the Vietnamese culture and traditional ways of life. He was very entertaining. I would thoroughly recommend a tour with John and Local Buddy Tours.
