Itinerary
Meet our Tour guide at Discova Day Tour Shop before tour start. Your guide will fit your bike, give a safety briefing, and provide an overview of the tour.
The ride soon opens up to peaceful countryside roads lined with coconut palms and vegetable gardens, where locals head to the fields on bicycles. Along the way, your guide shares stories of village life and explains how these communities continue to balance tradition with the changes tourism brings.
Our first stop is a small family kitchen, where bánh bèo (steamed rice cakes) are prepared for breakfast using the traditional method. It’s a simple, delicious insight into daily life in the countryside before we continue riding to one of Hoi An’s most beautiful villages, where we stop at a family home to learn about the tradition of family chapels. From here, the route follows small canals and waterways towards a wooden boat-building site. Fishing remains the lifeblood of the province, and the sight of craftsmen shaping hulls by hand is a highlight for photographers. If the timing is right, you’ll also see families gathered by the shore cleaning their fishing nets between journeys at sea.
Our final stops include a family-run distillery where rice wine is still made in the same way it has been for generations. You’re welcome to sample a glass, or for the adventurous, try the stronger local version infused with herbs! After that, it is time to ride back to Hoi An.

My 2 young kids and I had a wonderful time biking through the countryside with our tour guide Tam. Tam spoke great English and did a great job explaining each stop. We felt safe following Tam's lead even while biking through the city streets en route to the countryside.
Tam was an amazing guide. He was so informative and so friendly! I was a bit apprehensive about riding a bike in the city traffic, but he kept us safe and never felt any danger. We were only in traffic for a very short time, then it was all country roads. The experiences were authentic and so interesting. Really gave us a new perspective of Vietnam. I'm 63 , and my husband is 68, we are in fairly good shape and we never felt over exerted . I highly recommend this tour and ask forTam!!!
It was a must if you are in Hoi an. This tour lets you experience how locals really live and not just the ‘tourist type’ of things. Brian is our guide and he is very knowledgable about the history and all. We did and go through places and experiences that you would’ve missed if you are doing it on your own.

Very interesting tour of the Hoi An countryside. Our guide Bryan was very knowledgeable and fun. A very easygoing guy with whom we laughed and joked the whole time and who explained many things to us. I recommend it immediately, it doesn't take up too much time but allows you to do something very interesting.
