In contact with reality - The tour is well organized and connects you with local communities by showing you what you would never see alone.
Tham was a special guide, she accompanied us throughout the experience telling us many curiosities about Vietnamese culture. Super recommended if you want a different experience from the usual sightseeing tours.

Meeting the locals away from the tourists. - Our sunrise tour with Tham was a highlight of our stay in Vietnam.
We warmed to Tham immediately. She was so passionate and proud of her community putting together a great tour. Tham guided us through local fishing village, local farmers market, local people making a living with their crafts and so much more. It was all so interesting.
It’s a tour where you feel you’re seeing the real Vietnam. We fully recommend this tour.

Amazing authentic tour - We met our guide at 5am and headed to the fish market. We saw how the locals buy and sell fish for the day. When then saw how fish sauce is made and then headed to a local market and bought some breakfast which we had a Cafe. We then saw how rice wine is made, local weaving and how noodles are made.
This tour takes you to areas you would not otherwise see and a glimpse into how locals live, work and earn a living. Hoa was our guide and did an amazing job showing us round.
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would 100% recommend if you're wanting an authentic experience in Hoi An.

Highlight of our trip - The tour was the highlight of our stay in Vietnam and the best part of it was meeting incredibly kind and welcoming people of Hoi An.
Emily was an amazing guide genuine, and truly passionate about her community. She gave us a real insight into the local culture and shared stories about the people of Hoi An. It was very personal and authentic tour.
We really enjoyed learning how to make fish sauce, rice wine, beautiful sleeping mats and rice noodles. Seeing local fish market early in the morning was a very unique experience. However, we were really moved by warm welcome from the local craftsmen and some of their stories were truly inspiring. I highly recommend this your tour to anyone interested in local culture and people.

Incredible sunrise tour through the villages around hoi an. - Tham was an incredible tour guide. Ask for her! She picked me up on her motorbike ( they organize car for more than 1 person, I was solo) and off we went at 4.30 am. Don’t be daunted by the early start, it’s completely worth it. I absolutely loved the fishing village and watching the catch of the day being brought in, the haggling, the buying, the selling and just a vibrant community at its beautiful best. we also visited a number of small local businesses including a rice wine business, a mat making business and a rice noodle business. Tham is an evocative storyteller and I am grateful for the care she took in honoring the stories she shared. Also, thank you to Billy. This is by far the best tour I have had in Vietnam. 🇻🇳🐟🙏🏽

10/10 - This was probably one of the best tours we’ve done so far. Our guide, Emily, was exceptional. She really took us beyond the typical tourist spots, showing us places outside the old town. It felt like such an authentic experience.
One of the highlights for me was visiting the fish market — not a fancy or curated one, but a real, working market. Watching people negotiate, buy, and sell fish, and seeing the fishermen arrive by boat — that was something special.

Local Insight! - An amazing tour, can't recommend it enough. Tham was a great guide and couldn't be friendlier. Upon finding out I hadn't tried mangosteens before, she got me one to try at the market! This is my favourite kind of tour to do travelling as it gives a great insight into local life, and this was exactly that. Communication was top notch before the tour as well. Thanks team!

Tour to local places - One of our Highlights during our holidays in Hoi An, was the Sunrise Tour with Billys Vietnam Travel.
Billy picked us up early in the morning,and than we saw the amazing sunrise. After this we visit the local fishmarket and learnt how they make their fish sauce.
Then we made a little break and tasted the great vietnamese coffee.
After that we visit a very nice older couple that made sleeping mats in handmade.
Than we could taste some ricewine from another nice vietnamese man who made the ricewine in a lot of different varieties.
This is a fantastic tour for people that want to learn more about life in Vietnam.
