Wow! A memorable day. - Lanh was our terrific, very friendly tour guide. Highly experienced and patient, he even took many photos and videos of our day, which was much appreciated. We had two small children riding with us and the terrain was flat, a little bumpy at times but the tour took us to places we’d never of otherwise been able to experience. Getting close to a water baffolo was massive highlight as was riding through the tranquil rice paddy fields. We chose the dinner option, which was a great choice. The meal was a delicious traditional Vietnamese 5 course dinner. Not having to think about trying to find a place to eat after a tiring day was welcomed by us! We give Lanh and the tour a massive 5/5!

Fantastic, traditional, simple, the real Vietnam with his real people. - It was my second Tour in two years, with this small and very friendly Agency, I can write that it was interesting as in 2023 but so different! Everything was great, especially because of the really professional and funny Tour Guide Mister Sunny. I was not expecting an experience like that, it’s now my 13th. trio in Vietnam 🇻🇳 since 2010, but I saw today so many new things for the first time!!! Only amazing…

Another amazing day out! - The tour was perfect to go out for a day and see the countryside around Hoi An. Tu and Lan were perfect guides and helped us with everything. The cycling was laid-back and we avoided all busy roads. The activites were fun and all the locals were really kind. This is a true private experience of the Hoi An countryside and I would recommend to anyone visiting whether family, couples or solo. This is the second time I book with Local buddy tours and specifically with Tu because he is so much fun to have around. It was nice to meet Lan who was also great company to have and I would recommend both of them for a guaranteed enjoyable day out. Overall, I don't have a single complaint and would choose local buddy tours over any other tour company in the area. Thank you again Tu and Lan for yet another unforgettable day and we will surely meet again in the future!

Valuable and worthwhile experience - My husband and I attended the private bike riding tour today and loved it. We saw and got to experience so much of daily Hoi An life, meet locals and really get involved! Whether it was farming with local farmers, learning some Vietnamese from our amazing tour guide Tu, riding a water buffalo or riding with a non-english speaking Vietnamese woman in a basket boat, this tour is an amazing and relaxing way to get to see a lot of the city you couldn't get without a guide to lead you and translate for you. Our tour guide was hilarious and clearly genuinely cared about us having the best time possible. He joked, made us feel comfortable and took some amazing photos along the way for us (attached).The bike ride itself was very relaxed. Tu provided us with water, direction for the occasional busy road we need to cross as well as valuable information along the way. Additionally the roads travelled did not provide many challenges as it was very flat and we were able to choose our own speeds. To finish the day we were treated to a 6 course meal for dinner making this experience serious value for money with so much packed in to just half a day! I would recommend this tour to anyone coming to Hoi An.

A great fun day out for everyone got to do it if your in Hoi An - We found this tour by chance online and we found booking and paying for the bike tour was easy and flexible simple Paypal transaction as a deposit and it was booked. organised. We were met following day by Tu and his assistant with 3 bikes and clear instructions on where we were going and what we would be doing. The bikes were in very good condition and the weather was reasonably good so off we went. We stopped at several places at locals houses and places of work where bean sprouts are farmed, where Bison plough the wetlands ( yes you get to ride a Water Buffalo ). you get to plough and water the abundant vegetables and fruits that are grown its a great fun experience, you sample, you taste, you ride, you paddle in a boat and you laugh! Tu has a great sense of humor and his stop off at the family eatery where you eat rolled pancakes are wonderful and extremely cheap! We had a great day all of us very reasonable price you see the real people and real Vietnam and eat real locally grown produce. I am going back with my family and kids was very impressed!
