This was our second year in a row booking with Hoi An Backroad Tours, and once again they exceeded our expectations. We even requested the same guide, Kien, who we had last year, and he was just as fantastic as we remembered. What we love about this company is that they take you away from the busy tourist areas and show you a more authentic side of the Hoi An countryside. It feels much more personal and gives you a real insight into the local culture and daily life. Kien was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole day relaxed, enjoyable, and fun for our family. It’s rare to find a tour company that’s so consistently excellent that you’d happily book with them again, but that’s exactly what we’ve done. We’d highly recommend Hoi An Backroad Tours to anyone looking for something a little different from the usual tourist experience.
We had an amazing time on this jeep tour around Hoi An! It was a wonderful way to experience the local culture and traditions. We visited several traditional craft villages where we learned about weaving, noodle making, and wood carving. Each stop was interesting and gave us a real appreciation for the skills and dedication of the local artisans. What made this tour even better was how family-friendly it was. We joined with our five-year-old son, and he was engaged throughout the day. The stops were varied, interactive, and never felt too long, making it a great experience for children as well as adults. Our guide Vy was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole day enjoyable. If you’re looking for an authentic, well-organized, and kid-friendly way to explore the area around Hoi An, we highly recommend this tour!
Mr.Vy was a very good guide. We visited various crafts and it was an experience to drive in an old jeep through the local area where we would otherwise never have gone.
