Home / Our Story

We're locals who couldn't stop showing people around

It started with one question from a guest, and slowly turned into this.

The question that started it

A guest once asked one of us, "Where do you actually eat?" Not the restaurant with the English menu and the nice photos — the place we'd go on a normal Tuesday.

So we took them. Down a narrow lane, plastic stools, a lady who's been cooking the same dish for two decades. They told us it was the best evening of their whole trip. And that kept happening.

At some point it stopped being a favour for friends and became a proper thing. That's Vietnam Crazy Tour: locals taking travellers to the corners of Saigon and Da Nang we grew up in.

How we like to do things

We keep groups small — most of the time it's just you and whoever you're travelling with, and a guide who knows that patch of the city personally.

We're not in a hurry. We'd rather do one neighbourhood properly, stop for the coffee cart, and let the evening breathe than tick off a checklist of sights. And because our guides and the cooks and families we visit are the whole point, what you spend stays with them.

A few things we care about

01

Local, genuinely

Real neighbourhoods and real people, and a fair share for the community that hosts you.

02

Curious by nature

Night rides, old legends, quiet corners — we like the stories that don't make the guidebooks.

03

Looked after

Experienced riders, decent gear, and a guide who's keeping an eye on you the whole way.
