A must-do experience in Hoi An - thank you Chicky and Nine! - Chicky & Nine were THE BEST tour guides! This is a must do activity if you are in Hoi An. The scenery is amazing when you experience it on the back of a Vespa, and this is a great opportunity to visit local families and give your money directly to them, in an authentic experience. We learned how to make rice paper, incense and weave sleeping mats. We went through the Hoi An countryside and saw locals fishing, buffalo and cows in the fields, went on coconut boats (and caught a few crabs!) and ended in the vegetable village which was absolutely beautiful and enjoyed a delicious lunch (the best food we have had in Vietnam so far!) While the day itself was amazing, the guides really were the best part. Friendly, knowledgeable, and fun, Chicky and Nine made us feel so comfortable all day and gave us so much interesting information about everything we were seeing - AND they took the most AMAZING photos of us all day, so now we have memories we will cherish forever! I am already thinking of booking with them again for a trip in Da Nang and will be recommending them to all of my family and friends! Make sure you don’t miss this experience in Hoi An, it was the highlight of our trip!

A beautiful interesting day - We were picked up directly at the hotel with the Vespas. Then we went over small villages to the most diverse places. Both guides were very nice and it was taken into account our wishes. I felt safe on the tour. Thanh is a very safe and prudent driver. I am very grateful today to have met such special people with traditional crafts. I was allowed to try everything and we were never pushed to buy anything. All the families we visited were very nice and patient with us. Thanh has given us a lot of information about the plants, rice cultivation, fishing, etc. Many thanks to Thanh and his colleague Nine for this unforgettable day. For me it was the best choice to ride this tour on the Vespas.

100% would recommend! - Would highly recommend this tour - especially with our guides Hannah and Tien! Hannah, the main guide, was both so informative and warm, it felt like we were touring with a friend. She really went above and beyond, took the time to get to know us and really make the tour customised to us. Thank you so much for such a special experience Hannah, Tien and Local Buddy!

Great MUST DO tour - Hannah and our driver Tríen were amazing. They took such good care of my son and I. We had some much fun seeing the local village and the local trades in the old ways. Best tour we have done in Vietnam!! Definitely worth the money.

Vespa tour through the villages of Hoi An. - We had a fantastic Vespa tour through the villages of Hoi An. We got a glimpse of real local life, seeing how rice milk is made and how carpets are woven. We also tasted some incredibly delicious coffee. It was so much fun! The beautiful nature and authentic daily life of Hoi An residents truly impressed us. And of course, the most entertaining part of the tour was the basket boats at the end, where a lively local party took place. If you want to experience local life, see vast rice plantations, and enjoy plenty of smiles and laughter, this tour is a must! Highly, highly recommend! Thank you for an amazing time! It's a pitty we can't add video footage

Experience real rural Hoi An countryside life - 1000% recommend doing the Hoi An rural villages & river island tour with Chicky and Local Buddy Tours! I did the private scooter tour with Chicky (Trung) who is the best tour guide/ photographer/ videographer and down to earth man you’ll ever meet. He goes above and beyond with creating a video for me! So humbled and grateful to learn about the rural life and history surrounding Hoi An’s countryside from rice noodle making (which I got to eat), beautiful and colourful mat making (brought a little souvenir) and going on a bamboo basket boat (so much fun). Thank you Chicky!

Must do in Hanoi - Outstanding trip! Highly recommend! We went as a family of 4 (young adult children) and had a blast! Our guide was really knowledgeable and friendly. It is super fun to see the countryside on a Vespa and they arrange multiple stops to meet local artisans.
