5.00I did this tour solo and it was one of my favorite days in Hoi An. The scooter ride through the countryside was peaceful and full of stunning views. David shared so much about local life as we passed rice fields and small villages. I met local families, made rice crackers and even rode a water buffalo which was such a unique experience. Everything felt genuine and perfectly paced. David was kind and made me feel completely comfortable. A wonderful way to see the real Hoi An beyond the old town. Highly recommended.
Beautiful country, amazing people

5.00We toured around Vietnam on our own for a few days. At some point, we felt like we were missing things. So we decided to try something different and contact a tour guide who uses scooters. The moment we met David we knew this was the best decision we made on our trip. David toured us around showed us and explained EVERYTHING. His knowledge of Vietnam and ability to communicate were out of this world. The day after our tour we wondered around aimlessly, again we felt like we were missing out. Having so much fun the previous day, we booked another tour with David. He found out what interested us and we were off. The best times we had visiting two countries in Asia were spent touring with David in Vietnam.
So FUN!

5.00This experience was the highlight of our trip in Hoi Ann! Apart from the fun activities, what made it memorable for our family was Nguyen’s warmth and genuine personality. During the trip, he took special care of our elderly mother and even rode the basket boat with her in the rain cause we were a party of 5. Nguyen is very engaging and shared many insights and stories of the places we visited. His passion for his work speaks volumes and we were very happy we managed to get a slot for this popular activity last minute.

5.00I could not have asked for a better trip if I wanted to. We booked the trip on a recommendation from another traveler not really knowing what to expect . We were met promptly in the morning and given a fantastic experience. Nothing was to much trouble and we where made to feel special and not just another pay day. Should recommend these guys to anyone and would definitely use again
Best experience you won’t regret booking this tour

5.00Wow what an amazing experience on this trip, we can honestly say it is one of the best trips we have ever had - so many wonderful memories created. As well as having lots of fun and laughs, we got to see the real Vietnam and the wonderful culture and super friendly people. Definitely recommend riding a water buffalo, ploughing and planting rice, and also a ride in a basket boat in the coconut forest. You also get to experience so much more. We felt super safe on the back of the scooters, and were picked up from and dropped off at our hotel. Would we recommend? Yes absolutely!
