5.00This bike tour was the absolute highlight of our stay in Hội An. It’s the perfect way to escape the crowds and see the real Vietnam. The best part, however, was our guide, Andy. He was absolutely fantastic—incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Andy’s passion for the local culture made every stop, from the mat weaving to the rice fields, feel truly special. If you want a meaningful and fun experience with an amazing guide, ask for Andy! Highly recommended!

5.00Harry was an absolutely awesome tour guide. I booked our experience a bit late but Harry was still able to accommodate and we were pleasantly surpised that it was a private tour for our group of 3. We liked the experience of biking along countryside, stopping at local sights, and traditional Vietnamese businesses. It was eye opening and very interesting to see how noodles, sleeping mats and wooden products are made as well as people behind them. Harry was super friendly. Would definitely recommend to people who love the countryside, rice paddy.

5.00Andy has been the highlight of my stay in Hoi An. I highly recommend the tour. The tour was very enjoyable, i would have never had gone to any of these areas that were off the beaten path, as it truly felt being showed around by a local. I hope to come back here one day in the future.
I had a fantastic day with Harry

5.004 hours cycling around the Hoi An countryside with Harry. Thoughful personalisation and very interesting seeing the local people go about their daily lives. I was able to feel the countryside scenery, local history and culture of Hoi An. In addtion, The traditional Vietnamese snacks i ate at the rice noodle factory are still memorable enough to make me want to eat them again. It was a happy day. Finally, Harry was a excellent guide and made it a very pleasant experience from start to finsh. Thanks to Harry i learned many Vietnamese words that i can use during my Vietnam trip in the coming weeks. Thank you for the unforgettable memories Harry, i wish everyone a guide like Harry.

5.00Go to work, no complaints, and it was professional attending, and his English is adequate. One thing I would add for improvement is to add the address of the gathering start point instead of GPS the coordinates. Because the grub drivers are a little confused.

5.00On this tour we met some lovely, Beautiful people who welcomed us into their homes .. riding through the countryside of Hoi An was wonderful and a great escape from the hustle of the main town and old town . My guide Andy took great care of me picking me up on his scooter and making sure I rested in the shade at a hotel while he picked up another guest … we were given water, cold drinks and snacks .. People were So warm and it was an experience with lasting fond memories for me , not to mention the bike riding which was comfortable , scenic and mostly flat 😊.. seeing cows, chickens, workers in the fields , people who make a living by doing crafts and cooking at home gave me the feel for Real life in Hoi An Vietnam ! Such a Beautiful and Safe day .. Thanks Again Andy 🙏
