We had the most amazing day with V and his team – without a doubt the highlight of our Vietnam trip so far! We travelled as a family with our two boys (aged 5 and 7), and from the moment we started, the team made them feel completely at ease. They were so patient, fun, and engaging with the kids, who absolutely loved every activity throughout the day. Seeing the real Vietnamese countryside on the Vespas, meeting local people, and taking part in all the experiences made for memories we’ll never forget. V and his team were incredibly professional from start to finish, while also being hilarious and creating such a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. They struck the perfect balance between making us feel safe and making sure we had an unforgettable adventure. If you’re visiting Vietnam, don’t hesitate to book this tour. Whether you’re travelling as a couple or with children, you’ll have an incredible experience. Thank you, V and the team, for giving our family such a special day!
We had an excellent journey through the Vietnam countryside. Vy and his team looked after my small boys and all the visits were interactive. We met lots of local families and saw how the Vietnamese locals traditionally lived. Highlights of the trip included making noodles and traditional wood carving followed by an excellent local meal. I would highly recommend this half day visit.
Leo and the team were amazing. Very knowledgeable and easy to get along with. Loved viewing the Vietnamese countryside on the back of the vespas. One of the highlights of our trip.
This was one of the best local tours. We learnt a lot about Vietnamese culture in Hoi An by visiting the local villages. Leo and his team were very knowledgable, we had a wonderful time, a family of 4 with two teenage boys. They loved it too, especially making the rice noodles. My driver Sue was very safe and friendly.
Everything was great, everything was great!!!
Hannie and the team were the most lovely and inviting guides we could have asked for. From weaving to rice wine making the team got us around safety showing us the beautiful countryside and what it had to offer. I couldn’t recommend more for an authentic look into the rich traditions of Hoi An!
Our guide Phiphi was wonderful. Very helpful, careful and knew so much about the local culture. It was a fantastic experience! Highly recommend!
