Fantastic experience and escape from the tourists of Hoi An - Fantastic half-day experience. Well organised with multiple interesting activities (cycling, boat ride, fishing, water buffalo ride, farming experience, tour of gardens) plus a delicious, filling lunch. Our host for the day was Trang who was incredibly hospitable and did everything to ensure our day was tailored to our needs. Maybe we were lucky, but there was nobody else on our tour so it was essentially a private tour for the two of us. Highly recommend - one of my highlights from Hoi An

Unique and unforgettable experience! - Xuan gave us a unique and unforgettable experience! We traveled by bicycle starting from the local market, ride on cocunut baskets, ride a water buffalo, cooking lessons, delicious and abundant lunch, lessons on creating rice and locally grown pasta. Xuan and the other local girls shared their way of life with us, they were super helpful and super nice. An experience absolutely worth doing if you pass through Hoi An. Thanks Xuan!

Once in a lifetime experience - Had a wonderful experience today with Kun. She collected us from our resort in HoiAn, we did an amazing bike ride through streets, lanes and fields to their spectacular herb farm. Along the way we rode a buffalo, and went on basket boat ride in the most tranquil setting. Once at the farm we helped sow, plant and water some herbs, then made rice paper through all the traditional steps. Then ate the paper with some herbs, in rice paper rolls. So yummy. We were then treated to a shoulder a back massage. Amazing. A cooking class followed where we made spring rolls and pancakes. After eating these we finished off with an amazing lunch banquet cooked by the locals, which was 5 star quality, and straight from farm to plate. The aroma was amazing. Sensationally treated all day by wonderful people. Can’t wait to return. Thanks Kun and your village for making our day so memorable.

A little bit of everything, a lot of fun! - We did the Real Hoi An experience which included a trip to the market, ride on a water buffalo, float in a basket boat to taste water coconuts, making rice paper, cooking class, and a very delicious meal. We rode bikes from our hotel to Tra Que organic farm. Kun was our very enthusiastic guide for the day. A great way to spend the day learning about the food and culture in Hoi An.

Highly recommended farm/bike tour - We greatly enjoyed this bike tour, boat ride, water buffalo ride, farm tour and delicious lunch. It sounded like a lot to pack in to one morning, but it was actually relaxing and so enjoyable for the kids. Our guide, Tien, was funny, great with kids, and had excellent English. The food was one of the best meals we have had in Vietnam, all made with fresh produce from the garden! The kids loved seeing how the vegetable garden was tended. Good value for the experience. Highly recommended!

Good times at the Tra Que Water Wheel - I went to the Tra Que Water Wheel by coincidence, and I was welcomed by the with open arms. The wonderful people who is working here, took care of my 9 month old son, while they served a delicious meal for me and my partner. I wished I had more time here, so that I could try their cooking class. If you are near you should definitely visit this place, it is so relaxed and time flies.
