"We decided to book a guide at the last minute and felt incredibly lucky that Du (pronounced “You”, as we learned) was available that afternoon. I honestly can’t imagine a better guide if you want to absorb local history and culture from someone who grew up in the region. Du is engaging, easy to understand, and radiates wisdom beyond her years. Her depth of knowledge, warmth, and enthusiasm made the whole experience feel personal and memorable.
The Imperial City already feels like the set of a period drama, but Du’s storytelling and eye for detail truly brought it to life. After visiting the pagoda, she led us to a few tucked-away local eateries we never would have found on our own to share some of her favourite dishes. It was one of the best meals of our trip!
Highly recommend! "
"This one day tour starting in Hue was perfect in showing the beauty of the landscape and heritage and letting me learn so much about the people. Bich Du had planned this so well. It felt like travelling with a well known friend.
I can be quite inquisitive as a traveller, and all my questions about so many aspects of live in Vietnam were answered with great depth of knowledge. Bach Du painted such a lively picture of live in Vietnam over the centuries, in recent decades and right now.
Together we explored many diverse themes crossing culture and personal experience. I felt integrated into daily live, having gained a trusted intellectual contact in a new country.
Thank you."
"We made a late call to arrange a tour of the Imperial City, lucky for us Matthew was available and confirmed straight away. We had not used With Locals before so were a little apprehensive about using a new company. However what a great decision. Matthew was outstanding, even helping us with info on where to eat the day before our tour started. His enthusiasm and expertise on the background and historical significance of the events leading up to the eventual abdication of the last King were enlightening and entertaining. It would be hard to imagine a better day exploring and learning about this slice of Vietnamese history. If you have the opportunity, definitely pick Matthew to be your guide. "
"My wife and I loved spending the morning with Du as she guided around the Imperial City giving us thoughtful and fascinating insights, and patiently answering our questions. She is a friendly, intelligent and kind young woman, and we would not hesitate to recommend her tours to anyone.
Thank you for making our experience so memorable Du!

"Du is amazing! She seems to know the history of every brick in the imperial city. Her vast knowledge of everything Hue related will turn your memorable trip into an unforgettable one. And here's a tip: ask about the motorbike tour as well..."
"Du is very knowledgeable, professional and offers a fun walking tour. She designs a walk that covers the history with a storytelling narrative! She definetely was the highlight of our tour. We were fortunate to enjoyed a lovely simple sample of local foods after the tour with Du. "
"We really enjoyed the tour with Bich Du, she is so full of stories and history and has a great sense of humour which made our experience so fun!
It was so interesting walking around the wonderful Imperial City then the food places she brought us to were such great examples of really authentic Vietnamese meals, delicious! "
"We had a great time trying different foods with Du for our 10 Tastings of Hue. She took us to a lot of local places we would never have thought to try. Her English was excellent and we felt comfortable with her right off the bat. The evening was well planned and we had a really good time eating and chatting with Du."
"Du took us on a very interesting tour all over the centre of Hue that included all of the best local specialities! We went into local restaurants that we would never have found independently, and she explained the food culture of the city very well. Du was very easy to chat with and it was a pleasure to spend time with her. Do make sure that you are hungry when you start the tour as the portions are generous!"
