    We went on this tour with already high expectations, but reality exceeded all expectations. Our guide was simply impeccable: prepared, attentive, with an infectious enthusiasm and a deep knowledge of culture and territory. She did not just explain, but made us live every stage of the journey, involving us with stories, curiosities and moments of true sharing. The most special part was definitely the Welcoming by the locals who hosted us at their home. They welcomed us with a disarming kindness, made us feel part of their family and allowed us to really get in touch with the spirit of the place. We ate together (delicious) home-cooked meals, shared chats, smiles, and even a few words in their own language. A profound, human, authentic experience. The kind of trip that leaves something inside you. Highly recommended to those looking for real contact with people, not just a sightseeing.

  • Hoian people are a must meet

    Beautiful bike ride from the hotel to the vegetables farm. A sweet lady (81 years old) showed us how to garden with a big smile. We went on to the boat ride which was somewhat touristic but fun to do. Afterwards we went eating/cooking at a family’s home in which we were warmly welcomed and where we had great food. Highly recommend it, people in hoian are even more friendly than in the rest of Vietnam we have seen until now. Allan

    This is the best package ever ! You get everything : fresh air, exercise, a ride on the coconut boats and lastly experience the daily life of Hoi An villagers. The visit to the home of a local, where he warmly welcomed us, was the highlight of our trip. We participated in the milling, sifting, polishing, grinding of the rice, to yield rice water for making banh xeo - truly farm to table experience! side note : our host Hanh was full of energy and so were the coconut boat drivers, farmers and home host. These are the lovely people who make up Hoi An!

    “Farm & Fishing Tour in Hoi An. My wife and I received an escort from our guide Mr Huang. First we went to visit local farmers to see how they grew vegetables and rice. This was followed by an excursion with the local fishermen. These were one of the highlights of our 12-day stay in Vietnam. What struck us most was the expertise, and the helpfulness of the amiable Huang. We highly recommend him and this excursion to him. Rudy & Nancy Coppens/Van Thienen uit Belgie

    Great tour, by bike between rice fields, you feel like one with nature. Fantastic! With the passionate explanation of Mr. Hoang you get the history and insights into the farming methods. After the great ride he received us at his house and we got an explanation about the entire production process of rice and then baked rice pancakes with his wife and enjoyed lunch together! Mr. & Mrs. Hoang are great and we can absolutely recommend this to you.

    Hoang was a fantastic host and accommodated for all the needs of the family including taking our 8 year old on his moped instead of biking. He explained the rice growing and preparing process beautifully and was patient with the children. We had a go at farming at the vegetable garden and the interaction and being able to have a go ensured the children remain engaged and were able to have a good time. This is a really great way to understand more about Hoi An and the villages and agriculture there. Thankyou Hoang for the cooking class, the lovely food prepared by his family and answering all our questions and taking lots of photos, we truly appreciate it.

  • Excellent cultural experience!

    We had the most incredible time visiting the farm, planting veggies, cycling through town and then having a delicious lunch prepared by Mr. Hoang’s wife. Our kids got to make some appetizers with her and the meal was excellent. They learned how to harvest rice and the painstaking process it used to take. Excellent cultural experience!
