Riding Water Buffalo Hoi An Private Tour with Tom - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Tom. Was fun riding our bikes though the streets of Hoi An and seeing the rice paddies and got to meet and ride a buffalo 🐃 Definitely worth doing.

Great trip - Great trip to spend when we only have free time in the morning. The tour guide is amazing, the buffet is so fun, we cycle around the countryside and meet a local farmer who works in the field, they are so friendly to us. We will recommend our friends to come to viet nam next month.

Underrated tour - Such a amazing trips we have ever had in viet nam. I took this tour with my daughter and we had a beautiful afternoon. Tom is our man, took good care of us and gave us all information we nee, I was a bit shy to ask at first but the tourguide was so nice to answer me all, we can stop at anywhere we see a chance to take good photos too. If you need a great tour with your friend or family only, you can not miss this one. Don't mention bad reviews here for they are looking for something does not exist, no one lives on the earth can satisfy them lol. Anyway, just book this tour and have fun, relax :))
Thanks again Tom!

Learning about water buffalo - It was my dream to get close to a water buffalo!! Tom was able to make that happen! I learned a lot about the Vietnamese and water buffalo history and the respect they have. Initially I was supposed to ride a bike to the site however I was too tired so Tom picked me up on his motorbike. We mostly stayed on the rice field trails making a couple of stops to learn about the growing of herbs. His owner was so passionate about his water buffalo and Tom was an excellent translator. It was special to see the kindness and love he had. I highly recommend this tour if you want to get close to a water buffalo and learn about their history in Vietnam. If you don’t have much time to explore the rice fields it’s an opportunity to do so with Tom.

Great experience - It was a great experience riding bikes around rice and shrimp farming fields. See and ride the water buffalo. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Will suggest to friends and maybe do it again when I come back.

Disappointing in part, too expensive - The buffalo riding was good, but for the money for two people on a private tour, it was disappointing. You have to be fit to cycle in rain, wind, and luckily sunshine by the end of the tour but be prepared to cycle for almost the entire time, not just 20 minutes. It is at least 20 minutes both ways and you cycle through the middle of town, depending on your hotel or where you are staying to be fair, but it is quite an experience that ranges from interesting, to challenging, to exhausting. Our guide was very good and did his best to make it interesting but for the cost, you briefly ride a buffalo and cycle through the vegetable village but we did not feel it was worth the cost for what you got in comparison to some of the other tours or experiences we went on. The main disappointment was the vegetable village as it was clear there were very interesting plants being grown, we were given a brief explanation of the traditions of the village and the medicinal properties of some of the plants, but feel more could be done with this part of the tour. To be fair the buffalo farmer was charming, the guide was very charming and informative, and the ride was a dream come true for my husband, the rain was not the guide's fault. We think more attention to what could have been included in the tour event itself would be a good idea.
