Full description
This is a 4-hour experience in Hoi An, built around Hoi An, Cẩm Kim and V942+QH5. It is run by Local Buddy Tours Vietnam, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.
The price covers Hotel pick-up and drop-off in & around Hoi An, local tour guide, Transportation during the activity, Contributions to the local families and All tickets. It does not cover Other drinks, Tipping is optional but appreciated and Pick-up and drop-off in Danang or Hue, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Hội An. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Local Buddy Tours Vietnam before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Traveler Reviews
While it comes at a more premium price, this is most definitely one of the best tours I have had, ever! It is so authentic, non-gimmicky, and my family with two kids (3 and 11) really loved every bit of it. Our guide, Trang, was amazing! I would recommend this to everyone.
What a great experience with Kha for the visit of the countryside. Amazing discovery of the traditional way to manufacture paper rice and noodle, encens. Nice and kindness of local people. Authentic and enrishing experience.
This is a trully wonderful way to experience Hoi An countryside
Our family of four (including two kids aged 4 and 7) really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Trang spoke perfect English, was very friendly and could tell us a lot of very interesting and informative facts about the region. The driver was also really friendly and considerate to drive more slowly at interesting photo spots so that my husband could take good pictures. We learned a lot of new stuff that day and even our kids still talk about this tour and their experience. We can only recommend this tour and Trang as a guide. Thank you for this wonderful day!
Kha was a brilliant tour guide, very friendly and knowledgeable, highly recommend this tour! Perfect half day experience in Hoi An if you like to see local crafts and people. Car was comfortable and we learned a lot about the local culture through Kha. Thank you for a great day.
Our guide Trang and driver Trieu were excellent. It is a really good trip to see the countryside. I did it last year, when I was here with my husband and now I am here with my friend and I did it again. It was still very interesting, a little bit different than last year. I can advise it to all who are interested in countryside life.
Nice, smily, authenticity, out the touristic flow… perfect!
This is possibly the most enjoyable tour we have had in Vietnam and this is our 5th visit to this wonderful country. Quynh our guide and Binh our driver were both superb. Quynh knew the special, less touristy places to go. We met charming locals who were so welcoming of us into their homes and workplaces. This truly is a hands on experience which made it so fun. The jeep was very comfortable and Binh a very safe and considerate driver. Quynh took lots of great photos of our trip and sent them through to us on Whats App giving us wonderful memories to take home with us.
Our guide Mike was very very good. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and well spoken. We were able to see the countryside and way of life for locals. The stops were well planned and very informative. This was one of the very best tours that we’ve had in Vietnam and we’ve done several. Riding in the old jeep with a very safe driver (Ninh) was a great way to get around and this private tour is worth every penny. We would highly recommend for an awesome morning tour. Definitely 5star!!!!
Huge thanks to Henri and Van for making our trip so special. Henri is a wonderful guide who knows all the best spots and is a great photographer! He even surprised us with an extra visit to the carpentry village, which we loved. Van, our driver, provided a very smooth and safe ride, and his hospitality was top-notch. They are a great team that truly cares about their guests. We had a brilliant time and learned so much about the local culture!
Fantastic!! We enjoyed every part of it! Unfortunately I forgot the name of our tour guide. She was great and super knowledgeable. We enjoyed the jeep ride so much as it was breezy and driving through the little villages was so fun. We had 5 stops and all of them were great and my son (6 years) could try the activities himself. Fishing, weaving etc. What I loved most is that it didn’t feel too touristy. Just occasionally some tourists on bicycles. There were other jeep groups but they planned it in a way that we never overlapped with them. At the end we visited a vegetable farm and had lunch t
Brilliant!! Loved every minute of the tour and the driver and the guide were so nice with lots of information.
