Wonderful experience! - Even before the tour began, I was impressed by Billy and Emily’s proactive approach. Despite the rain, Emily remained warm, upbeat, and cheerful throughout. She provided valuable insights into the often-overlooked villages of Hoi An, allowing us to explore these local communities and deepen our appreciation for Vietnamese culture. I particularly enjoyed meeting the villagers personally and hearing their firsthand accounts. Billy and Emily crafted an extraordinary experience that I will fondly remember.

Highly recommend for the most authentic tour experience! - This was an amazing way to start the day! Tham was our guide and was great. She told us all about local food, culture and gave us the most authentic tour we’ve had so far in Vietnam. She told us about the local community and also the village where she was from where we visited. We learnt about how to make rice wine, sleeping mats, fish sauce and lastly rice noodles. There was lots of yummy food for us to try along the way that we wouldn’t have tried without this tour. We never felt rushed along the way and Tham was great to explain everything we tried as well as answering questions we had. This was a great experience and I highly recommend to anyone visiting Hoi An!

Best local experience in Hoi An! - I personally booked this tour for my 3 friends and myself and we were very surprised by the quality of the tour and the guide Emily who was super nice, helpful and good at storytelling. The tour includes several places that take us to live unique experiences with the locals. We were able to experience: the fish market, the making of nuoc mam fish sauce, then the house of Mr Đâu who makes rice alcohol himself, had a typical Vietnamese coffee, visited a place where sedge mats are made, also a house where the family make homemade noodles and we finally ended with a Banh mi. At each point we participated in the making process and it was really very enriching and interesting to learn! I recommend this tour, it’s totally worth for this fair price. 👍 A personal driver will grab you from your hotel to all the places and drop you off back! Thank you again Billy’s team 🙏

Amazing tour - you should book :) - If you book one tour while in Hoi An - book this one! Our guide Emily was fantastic and makes you feel welcome immediately! But not just that, she is also extremely knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the Vietnamese and local culture. The stops along the way give you a wonderful and authentic glimpse into every day Vietnamese life ! I highly recommend booking this tour!

Must do experience in Hoi An. - This is a must do experience while in Hoi An and one of our favourite tours done in Vietnam. Our guide Tam was amazing felt like we were hanging out with a mate for the morning and not a tour guide. Loved the glimpse into Vietnamese traditions and local life. Big shout out to Mr Dat the rice wine maker he was awesome. 100% recommend this experience to anyone staying in Hoi An. Thank you Billy & Tam we loved it.

Great tour of local culture from a wonderful guide! - Billy is a fantastic guide and SUPER passionate about food, culture, and sharing his love of Vietnam. We joined his morning sunrise tour and while it was tough to wake up to be ready by 5, it was worth the trip. The sunrise visit to the local fish market was one of the highlights of our trip to Vietnam - an kaleidoscope of colors, sounds, smells, something you'd never see elsewhere. His English is really good so it makes it really easy to communicate and he's overall really friendly and helpful guide. It was really fun to have mid-morning coffee and chat about his experiences in Vietnam growing up and hearing about things like conscription and views on politics, culture, etc. He's also a huge foodie, he gave me countless recommendations all over Hoi An, both before, during and after the tour. In fact, the BEST thing we ate on the entire trip was his recommendation of muc chien mam (squid stir fried in fish sauce) at Sau restaurant on Hoi An beach, which we would never have found amongst the crowd of touristy restaurants (ignore the low Google rating for Sau, the restaurant is awesome). Overall, highly recommend if you want to experience something non-touristy from a super friendly enthusiastic guide.

Best tour in Hoi An for early birds and others - This tour is a must have in Hoi An. I was skeptical about the early start time at 5AM but it was absolutely worth it! Billy is an exceptional guide! You can really see and feel how much he cares about his birth town and the people that live in this area! The experience seing fisher arrive after 3 day on sea at the small fisher town is really amazing. Its super busy and vibrant. During the tour we visited multiple places to get to know the people and families and hear about stories and life in the more rural area of vietnam. It was simply amazing! Thank you so much for the tour! I can really recommend it!

Hoi An morning well spent - I loved the before sunrise hidden handicraft tour! Billy has so much local knowledge and an obvious passion for Hoi An, and theres no way I could have experienced all that we did without him. From the gorgeous sunrise on the bridge overlooking the islands, to the hustle and bustle of the fishing village, then learning about the delicious fish sauce (nuoc mam and mam nem 😋), being welcomed into the home of the adorable and talented rice wine maker, meeting the hard-working, sweet mat weavers, the generous and patient noodle maker and then learning all the local history and personalised recommendations from Billy, this tour has it all. I'm so glad I could visit all those amazing places and learn so much about Hoi An. This was definitely a highlight of my Vietnam trip. I would recommend this tour to anyone - groups, couples or solo travellers.
