A most enjoyable experience being able to ride the countryside of Hoi An on a Vespa. Diem and Van were great hosts. Highly recommended experience. We got to make rice noodles, wood craving and see rice wine making.
We had a great experience with Diem and Van. They were friendly, entertaining and rode safely. We also enjoyed our time with the local families - a good way to spend the afternoon in the countryside.
What a memorable adventure! We loved all the different experiences and learning about Vietnamese culture - especially getting off the main tourist routes. Riding through the peaceful countryside lanes was our favourite part of our holiday. Big thank you to our wonderful guide Diem and drivers Tam, Thuong and Khuong xx
Great morning out in the countryside. Lots of experiences and many opportunities for photos. Highly recommended. Thank you to Diem, Tam, Thuong and Khuong! Great drivers and Diem fantastic guide!
This was a great experience seeing how the locals live in hoi an. It was great to be able to get involved and try making rice noodles, carving, and weaving. Both Leo and Bao were amazing and answered all the questions we had. I also felt so safe on the bikes, they are both great drivers. The lunch at the end was absolutely delicious and a great way to end the tour.
The vespa ride around cam kim was exceptional. Our guides Leo and Bao were funny and great company. Very easy to talk to and provided clear information and instructions. Easy pick up and they were accommodating with dropping us off in town. Definitely would book again, especially with Leo and Bao
A very nice experience for the whole family!!! Quang was an excellent Tourguide! You really experience the scenery of Hoi An!!
It is a very valuable opportunity to learn more about the rural and traditional crafts in Hoyan. Especially for explaining the guide. In particular, it was very nice to give you an explanation of the social and economic culture of Vietnam. For a long time, a thorough tour of Vietnam's alleyways will be a lifelong memory. The last meal was also very good. Especially the description of the guide Hanni will stay in mind. Please enjoy this tour.
We really loved the tour! Very nice guides. Overall we enjoyed it!
