Private tours with locals in Hue
Our locals will give you the best experiences that Hue has to offer
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Hue, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Hue spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Hue.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Hue, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Hue awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Hue, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Hue. Get ready to explore like a local!

Made our time in Huế special!
"Chị Du was a truly wonderful guide and made our time in Huế so special. She was warm, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable, and she shared fascinating details that felt tailored to our interests rather than scripted. Every question we asked was met engaging, funny, and fascinating answers. She really made the history come alive in a way that was both fun and easy to follow.
She was also incredibly patient and generous with her time, and spoke excellent English and Vietnamese to make sure everyone felt included and comfortable. On top of that, she was amazing at helping us take photos, pointing out great spots and making sure we captured the moment without ever feeling rushed.
The three hours flew by so quickly because the tour was both educational and genuinely enjoyable. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Huế, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly, highly recommend!!"
"We had the pleasure to follow Du during this visit.
We really enjoyed our time with her and especially appreciated that she didn't just make us do a tour but also took time to share her culture with us and answer all our questions.
100% recommended !!

"Matthew was an amazing guide. We brought our three year old and were unsure how he would tolerate sightseeing. But Matthew was wonderful with him. He quickly learned what interests our son; and expertly balanced history for the adults with opportunities for our son to rest and play. Matthew has a history degree and it shines through. He had a fascinating answer for everything, from the upbringing of Ho Chi Minh to the political history of the Vietnamese language. We’d recommend Matthew to everyone. "
"We had a great time, learned a lot, were able to ask questions and got proper answers. She was super hospitable and with humor. We absolutely recommend her to anyone that is interested in a guided tour!"
"My partner and I had such a fabulous time going around Hoi An and Hue food tour with Du! She was so knowledgeable and knew just what to order and how to explain everything we were eating. She was very concerned about food allergies and would make sure to check with the kitchen to make sure everything is safe to eat. She had a love of her country and its history and was so willing and happy to share it. We went to spots that only locals would know to go to and ate amazing food. I really loved learning the history of the middle country and how it developed into Vietnam. I would recommend everyone use Du for their future trips to Hue ! I can’t wait to go on another adventure with her!"
"We had a fabulous time with Du! She is super engaging and made our time in the imperial city and forbidden city terrific. Her stories about the significance of what we were seeing were great - she is very well informed about her city and its history. Could not have asked for a better guide. "
"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. "
