Our tour guide was Trang. She was very lovely, funny and told us lots of interesting facts about de crafts we saw and about the culture and daily life in Vietnam. We biked, made rice cookies, saw water buffalo's, made woord carved key hangers,... It was a very nice and peaceful experience. We paid at the end in cash.
We went on a cycling tour with Trang she was lovely and had a lot of interesting things to tell us. Very satisfied !
Surprisingly, the best tour I've done in Vietnam! I went there without much expectation, thinking it would be just another tour and I loved it so much! Minh, the guide, was very sweet and attentive. He took care of the group at all times, he was really nice and close. The bike ride was calm and beautiful. And what was most surprising to me was that I thought the stops during the tour would be too touristy and, although they are prepared to teach foreigners, I didn't have the feeling that they wanted just to sell me anything or that it was artificial as has happened to me in other activities. The artisans we met were welcoming and close and it gave the feeling that they really wanted to teach us their art, rather than sell. A 10! I highly recommend it!
Great guide , so knowledgeable and it was very authentic, loved it and the bike riding was off the beaten track
Great way to see the Hoi An countryside and experience some Vietnamese culture. Made several stops with hands on demonstrations during the three hour tour. Minh was a fantastic guide and made the experience really fun. Highly recommend.
Its a very nice experience. You do start off in town so are in busier roads for the first part. Once you get across tonthe village its lovely and the guide is very patient and directs well. Its interactive and the villagers are lovely. This was a highlight of our trip
Andy was a fabulous guide. Highly recommend. Also very accommodating when we had to change tour date
Great experience. Tommy is a very good guide taking us safely through the streets to a local village. Enjoyed the activities and Tommy’s stories and descriptions of village life, farming and the houses was really interesting. Nicest guide with a fantastic attitude. Highly recommend.
This was our favourite activity of our whole trip!! Getting to sit and talk with the locals was incredible and rural Hoi an is so peaceful. Minh was an incredibly tour guide, so knowable and such an enthusiastic and fun individual ! Strong suggest for anyone in Hoi An
Min was a very friendly and helpful guide we enjoyed making the rice paper. The people that we visited along the way were really nice
