Hoi An countryside - It’s great to get outside of the bustling, touristy part of Hoi An and experience what real Vietnamese do. It’s great to see rice fields and people working on their traditional trades. Our guide Phi Phi was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our jeep driver, Vu was also good at navigating through the small country roads. It was a good experience.
