What To Expect
Cam Kim Island
We ride over the bridge to Cam Kim island and along the riverside into the beautiful rural countryside. First stops is the village of Kim Bong—a traditional carpentry village on Cam Kim island—has been churning out artisan works since the 15th century. Zig-zag through the breathtaking scenery of rice paddies & farmland and enjoy the cooling breeze. Next, learn from friendly local families the art of mat weaving, farming and how to make (and eat) the perfect Banh Dap rice crackers. Meeting local families is a must-do to see the real way of life in Vietnam.

After snacking on rice crackers, visit a local café to fuel up on local drip-coffee & learn the art of coffee roasting.

5.00Great Experience with John! We went in October 2025 with family (2 kids of 5 and 8 years old) on two tours in the surroundings of Hoi An: first day fishing and coconut forest, second day cycling. The experiences are fun but the best is how John is good at connecting with kids and entertaining them. Everything feels very safe and spontaneous. Thanks John

5.00We had the most amazing evening on our walking food tour with Hoang! He’s an absolute wealth of knowledge and such a wonderful person to be around. You simply wouldn’t discover the best local food spots without a guide like him to navigate the hidden back streets. We enjoyed five delicious food stops — each one offering something different and truly authentic. The walk through the bustling night markets was full of colour and energy, and to finish the evening, a peaceful boat cruise where we made wishes and released lanterns on the river — such a beautiful, memorable experience. If you’re visiting, don’t miss this tour. Hoang made it unforgettable!

5.00Lanh was our tour guide & we had the very best tour we’ve had in Vietnam so far. We visited Hoi An old town on a walking tour which was very interesting. Went to the pottery village, woodworking, rice paper & noodle making, saw some silk worms & watched the ladies create beautiful pictures from silk thread. We also had a ride in a basket boat. Such a unique experience. Lanh took us to a lovely quiet restaurant for an authentic Vietnamese lunch which was very yummy. Overall it was an excellent tour & Lanh is a wonderful guide.
Wonderful and extremely knowledgeable host.

5.00John provided us with a very personalised tour. Cruising on bicycles and chatting through the back blocks of Hoi An is a wonderful way to see and experience Vietnam. His knowledge and conversational tone made it very easy to take in the information he was able to impart. His focus was on us and providing us with the best experience he could possibly provide; he delivered in spades. His goal is to be the best he can be so that we could have the most memorable time. He went over and above. If you really want to experience Hoi An look him up. We would've booked him for multiple days if we had more time. Fair dinkum, a great tour guide. Thanks again John.
John was excellent. His English is excellent. He is thoughtful and easy geven organised a birthday cake at one our stops

5.00John was a great tour guide with lots of local knowledge, he took us off the beaten track and showed us things that we would never have seen by ourselves. We followed behind him on motor scooters through traffic and along back roads through rice fields visiting local farmers and trades he accommodated everything we asked for. We felt safe on the bikes the whole time and had so much fun. Would definitely recommend
