The best motorcycle tour to experience the countryside and escape the tourists. - This motorcycle half day tour was so enjoyable and at the same time very relaxing. Flower was my driver and was so caring and careful to avoid bumps (lol) seriously if you are a nervous Motorcycle passenger you do not need to be with Flower and my husband was with Hai, another very informative guide and such good fun! We saw a lot of the countryside from rice paddies to corn crops, cows and water buffalo, we visited a wood carving village and had a simple lesson in wood carving . From there we visited a weaving village and learnt how to weave mats for sleeping on, they grow a special reed and colour it using natural colours from plants and we learnt the lady who was the designer had been weaving mats for 55 years. It takes them about 4 hours to make one mat which sells for around US$5.00. Our next stop was a rice wine maker or “happy water” where we saw how rice wine was made before continuing to the water coconut forest where we saw the round spinning boats and took a ride in one which was very relaxing, I also caught a crab, From there it was about 7km to the vegetable village where we could see all the different vegetable crops as we were driving by and we finally stopped here and had the most delicious lunch at The Spring Onion restaurant, truly amazing food which we both really enjoyed. Nothing was too much trouble for these 2 guides, plenty of cold water, restroom stops and continually checking that we were ok. If you have a half day free in HoiAn this would be a perfect opportunity to leave the tourists behind and experience some of the true countryside and authentic people of Vietnam. Thank you for providing us with a truly memorable day to treasure when we are back home in Melbourne and also for surprising us with a video capturing us during the activities and other highlights of the morning. Thank you again, Jo and Vic Doig.
