Best trip in Hoi An with Kha- He was a wonderful guide, very kind and excellent English. Met the local people and had the opportunity to see how the villagers live. I highly recommend this tour. Ask for Kha and you will not be disappointed.

Perfect way to learn more about the culture of Hoi An and meet locals along the way. Be sure to include the lunch option--the food was incredible! Our guide and driver were incredibly hospitable and knowledgeable.

This is a great half day. Our tour guide, Kha was great. You see so much and he knew the exact amount of time to spend on each activity so you never get tired of any one thing. We did rice noddle making, mat weaving, incense making, coconut boat ride and vegetable village visit. Plus Kha told us all about the local people and their lives. Highly recommend if you want to get out of the Old Town and see more to Hoi An.

What a blast! We rode around the beautiful countryside in a refurbished old Vietnam era Army jeep. Our host Thanh gave us so much history of the area, he was able to show us examples of how people use the resources of the land to live and create.. We stopped at several locations to enjoy watching people perform their crafts ( we were even able to try our own hand badly) all in good fun! The coffee stop was just beautiful, with yummy drinks. WOW lunch- the garden was huge and all of the food was prepared right to the table.. we were given several courses of the freshest, most delicious Vietnamese dishes! We had such a fun day. Thanhs command of English is outstanding and he is delightful and fun.. We felt very safe driving with Sang at the wheel, he negotiates the traffic and navigates like a pro! Book this tour, you’ll be so glad you did!!
