Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Vertrek rond 8.00 uur vanuit het stadscentrum. Na een half uur fietsen (3 km) laat je de stad achter je en volg je landelijke wegen die slingeren langs kanalen, eenden en rijstvelden.
Dankzij de verhalen van de gids waardeer je de diepgewortelde natte rijstcultuur en haar centrale rol in het Vietnamese leven. Bewonder charmante dorpstempels, kleurrijke mozaïekpatronen. Bij toeval word je tijdens een seizoensviering opgeslokt door voorouderlijke rituele praktijken. (Aangezien je ongeveer een uur of langer zult besteden aan het verkennen van echte landelijke activiteiten en dorpstempels, passeer je net buiten het Thanh Toan Museum)
Ga langs bij een boer en help een handje met klusjes in de landbouw. Activiteiten zijn seizoensgebonden, in het echte leven en erg vermakelijk. Geniet van een boerentheepauze met een lokale gezonde snack. Vervolg uw onderdompeling met viservaring tijdens een ontspannen boottocht langs de rivier de Như Ý. Af en toe dagen de vissers je uit met sampanraces of het hoeden van de eendenkudde. Grijp wat trucjes om wat vis te vangen voor je lunch of uiteindelijk leuke handel op de dorpsmarkt. “Wie de vrucht wil hebben, moet in de boom klimmen” is het principe voor je huiselijke lunch bij een lokale familie. Leer van het rijstthema-recept van de gastheer en deel uw vaardigheden om de ervaring betekenisvol te maken voor alle onderdelen. De hele ervaring van landbouw, vissen en varen, koken en genieten van een gezonde lunch duurt ongeveer 4 uur of langer, in de buurt van de Thanh Toan-brug. De tijd die aan elke activiteit wordt toegewezen, wordt flexibel aangepast aan de voorkeur van de reiziger.
Na de lunch kunt u bij de lokale bevolking rondhangen bij de rustgevende oude brug met pannendak Thanh Toàn. Gelegen naast de dorpsmarkt en machtige rijstvelden, werd deze prachtige architectuur gebouwd door de deugdzame Madame Trần Thị Đạo in de 18e eeuw.
Halverwege de middag kun je genieten van een interactieve ervaring met lokale ambachtslieden om een conische palmhoed of wrap te maken en plakkerige rijstwafels te proeven (30-45 minuten). Keer terug naar de stad op met bamboe beschaduwde groene wegen. Het is ongeveer 8 km naar de Truong Tien-brug en u doet er ongeveer 1,5 uur over in een rustig tempo met een pauze.

I have been in many places around the world and Son was the most knowledgeable guide I have experienced. He was so gracious and the flow of the tour was fantastic. I would highly recommend
Dear Lisa, Thank you so much for your kind words. We are very happy that you all had a great experience with Sơn and the host community in Thanh Toan village. Yes, the immersion is intentionally made with a good pace and flow so as to create space for meaningful connection. We wish you all the best. Phương
This was a wonderful day! We did a fishing tour, going out on a boat with a couple as they actually do their fishing. Then we went to a small family farm to see the farm and have a lunch at their house that they cooked. And then we did a bike tour through several villages around Hue. Each of them was superb. No superlatives can capture how wonderful the guide Son was. He is extremely knowledgeable and wonderful at communicating his knowledge. He is able to give us insight into the life of each and all of the people that we met. And in general the people of this part of Vietnam. I warmly recommend this guide and this company for anyone who wants to get a feel for this uniquely lovely part of Vietnam.
Dear Mrs. and Mr.Rafaeli, We were overjoyed to learn about your experieces, that were totally customized for you to explore Hue in-depth with diverse nature and culture.

Bike ride from busy to rural Hue. Along the way some special stops like the paper factory & colosseum where elephants once fought against tigers.... Places you can't go on your own. And to finish a delicious meal with a family.... All under the guidance of an extremely good and sympathetic Guide. Do it!

After two weeks in Vietnam, this experience remains among the highlights. We arrived in Hue in the early morning and booked a private tour (the only kind now offered) for the next day at the last minute. Despite the late booking, Slow Travel Hue and our guide, Mr. Ánh, were kind enough to accommodate an earlier start time in the morning and an addition to our stops on the tour. Our itinerary took us from the Khai Dinh Mausoleum to the Gia Long Tomb by cycle—a lovely and easy bike ride through fields and some towns on the outskirts of Hue—and then onwards to a small farm near the banks of a tributary of the Perfume River. At both the Khai Dinh and Gia Long Tombs, Ánh guided us through the history and architecture of the monuments and fielded our many cultural and historical questions. Along the way to our farm stop, a local man partnered with Slow Travel Hue, Mr. Binh, showed us nearly a dozen herbs and foraged plants found in the forests and scrub around Hue that can be used for medical (digestive, pain relief, etc) purposes. We were also treated to a refreshing chilled herbal tea made from some of those herbs. Before eating lunch at the farm, we enjoyed paddle boarding on the river and had the opportunity to see a bomb shell recently fished up from the river by Mr. Binh. Swimming was also an option, and after the river, we were able to wash off at Mr. Binh’s home before walking a few minutes to the farm, which is managed by Mr. Binh and his relatives as a cooperative in partnership with Slow Travel Hue as a curated experience. We saw how the cooperative produces a variety of oils, soaps, teas, and balms, and enjoyed seeing and tasting plants grown around the farm, including several we had never encountered. The lunch we had at the farm was, in a trip chock-full of food tours, street food, and fine dining, one of the best we had. We enjoyed eggplant, banana blossom soup, pork, jackfruit, tofu, beef, and some delicious salts and sauces, the flavor of all of which still make me salivate. After the lunch, we returned to Hue. We were very impressed and appreciative of Slow Travel Hue’s itinerary, which gave us a glimpse of rural Vietnamese life and allowed us to take it in at a slower pace and in more peaceful corners than if we had traveled by motorbike; we enjoyed the integration of human histories with contemporary human-nature interaction. We were also deeply appreciative of Mr. Anh, our guide, who discussed dozens of topics with us, from politics to philosophy, and who went above and beyond in helping us understand the plants and herbs we encountered. He’s an old hand at guiding, and we really enjoyed spending the day cycling and learning from him. I’d immediately recommend the Slow Travel Hue experience to anyone interested in a more comprehensive understanding of Thua Thien Hue away from its tourist hotspots, and I think the price is well worth the exposure to people, history, and nature that Slow Travel Hue provides. Oh, and always see if you can bike more—the countryside around Hue is full of hidden delights, from the tombs of the Nguyen lords to the streams and fields of the Perfume River watershed.
Dear Daevan and Sandhya, We are very moved to read your review and appreciate that you took your time to experience and share your feelings. It is a multi-layered immersion that integrate many cultural, natural and human features. It is so wonderful that it leaves in your a fond memories. We wish you all the best and we jointly thank you for your kindness. Best regards, Phuong
This was a highlight of our holiday in Vietnam. Nhi is an amazing guide, she has so much knowledge and has a great sense of humour - the whole day was so much. I particularly enjoyed going to the local village by bike (one member of our family took a cyclo instead), having lunch with the local family. We also booked an evening food and cyclo tour with Nhi which I can thoroughly recommend. The food was amazing and it was great fun riding through the Hue on the cyclos.
Beautiful bike ride through rural areas. A very good English speaking guide who knows a lot about this area. .
Dear Sirs, Thank you so much for your appraisal. We will pass your compliments to your guides and the whole team. All the best to your holidays in Vietnam.
