Rural Hoi An - Am amazing experience from start to finish. We were met at our hotel by our wonderful hosts Luat and Vin, who guided us through the busy streets on our bikes. We were transported by boat to a beautiful rural town that we cycled around while learning about crops and rural life. The highlight was meeting a Vietnamese family who welcomed us into their home for lunch. We were shown how to plant a crop and how to cook our own lunch, with all produce being grown on site. Incredible food, coffee and a wonderful opportunity to experience a different side of Hoi An.

cycling and farming experience - The most amazing tour I have ever done. Luat and Vinh were so informative and friendly. They could not do enough for us. They took pictures for us the whole way and captured the experience beautifully for us. Being able to experience the farming life in Vietnam and visit the home of a vietnamese family was wonderful. The lunch was delicious and we were able to learn to cook rice pancakes. I highly recommend this tour for the authentic farming experience.

Outstanding - We had an excellent time on our tour with Mr Luat !! He rode us around the countryside and old traditional villages, stopping to explain how the farmers grow and prepare vegetables, rice etc. We also had the chance to row the traditional basket boats and then cook our own Vietnamese rice pancakes. The owners then also made us lots of other tasty dishes and salads for lunch.
