It took only 3 days until I realized I would stay in Vietnam for good. Its my passion to show you why. Giving tours is something I have been doing for a while, but I joined this platform recently. So do check out my Google Reviews to see what other guests thought about going a day along with me! https://maps.app.goo.gl/KCNw3WWCS2J3fvxeA at ExploreVNdaily. My name is Zeb, and actually becoming a local took more time but many years later, I can now proudly say that I speak Tiếng Việt, understand and participate in local culture as much, or more, than even my Vietnamese wife and still enjoy it every day! These days I mostly go by my Vietnamese name Duy :) Ever since my graduation I have worked as a teacher which means explaining in a story form is something I enjoy and never get tired of. My constant learning and discovery of local Vietnamese life combined with my teaching background naturally led me to become a tour guide. Now I get to be outside in my community, sharing the what, why and how! Back in November 2017 I started my Vietnamese journey in Hanoi. Its the place that showed me Vietnamese life; culture, scooters, Vietnamese cuisine.. and eventually, love. Fast forward and I have been happily married since 2022. My journey has now brought me, since that same year, to Hội An as a my new home base. Both Hue and Da Nang to my North and Tam Ky to the south and everything in between are places I know as well as my own backyard. Each place with their own history, culture and local food. One of the great things about Vietnam, is that no matter how small the area is, if you know the locals, you will find something unique! What makes my tours special is my ability to connect Vietnamese ancient customs and unseen nuances to your daily experience while being in Vietnam. Making more sense of this country, while having fun along the way in relatable language.

The Vietnam War, Viet Cong, The Fall of Saigon. Everyone has heard about it. But what do we really know about this 3rd most deadly (after WW1 & WW2) conflict of last century? Let alone about its thousands years of history before that? And how about the current mindset of the Vietnamese people regarding this tragedy? Never use the words Viet Cong for instance! That was a term used by the enemy, not their own. As someone who has lived and loved Vietnam for 8 years and is fascinated by history and culture and how it shapes society of today, this is my most engaging tour. It is my mission to truly answer the above questions, and to connect all these insights with your daily view of Vietnam as you travel through. During this day tour we will explore the ancient and more recent history, through relics, museums, stories and also super local food to go with it!

Transportation is done through an external private taxi company that my wife and I have been using for years. The price for having the car and driver for the day is included in the total price. If you are an experienced motorbike driver, this tour is also possible with motorbikes! Encouraged even. Just send me a message and we will adjust the tour and its price accordingly.
