Great cycling memories in Hoi An - This tour was an amazing way of exploring the rural livelihood in Hoi An. We had so much fun cycling with Carol and Phuong, covering more than 10km for 5 hours. We would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a mini adventure with buddies. Lunch arranged was delicious too. Great memories 😊.

Hoi An Organic Farm & Palm Village Experience By Bicycle - Private Tour - This might just have been my favorite experience in Vietnam. While the surroundings are beautiful and lend themselves to a spectacular visual overload, on a biking trip, your guide plays a huge role in shaping your experience. And I could not recommend Lan more. She was the most amazing guide and was extremely knowledgeable and patient in showing me around. With a genuine personality and excellent communication skills, she is the person for you, if you are looking to bike along bucolic Vietnam with a kindred spirit.

Don’t go anywhere else!!!!! - I have been to Hoi an many times and this would have to be one of the best days I’ve had. Ben was fantastic. We did a full day cycling in the country side, palm village and island. We met loads of local families and experience their way of life. Everyone single interaction was special. The thing I really liked is that Ben did not push anything onto us and didn’t try to sell anything just very sincere. He donates money back to the farmers and locals which we really supported. Also a quick mention on the food. Not only was it all delicious but also plentiful. If anything too much. We will definitely use him again and highly recommend Local Buddy Tours. Thanks Ben!!!!

Worthwile and valuable 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.
