A day full of highlights!

5.00Traveling with my husband and our two teens (17 and 13), this Hoi A countryside tour was a highlight of our trip! What made it truly exceptional was our guide Duc - he was warm, engaging, & incredibly knowledgeable. He connected naturally with our teens and explained everything clearly. His enthusiasm and pride in sharing his culture really stood out - he’s a huge asset to this tour. Cycling through rice fields was peaceful and beautiful. Getting to meet local farmers and actually try planting rice (and even riding a water buffalo!) was something our kids will never forget. Riding in the bamboo basket boats was also entertaining. The day ended with a delicious meal, making rice milk, and learning to cook Banh Xeo. Perfect mix of culture, fun, and authentic experiences. Highly recommend - especially with Duc as your guide! Thank you, Duc!!
Eye-opening tour you need to experience!

5.00Our tour today with the owner Mr.Cu was incredible! We were picked up promptly by his wife at our agreed by time from our hotel. We then met Mr.Cu out by the rice fields to begin our adventure. We walked away with a wealth of knowledge of the agriculture of Vietnam, and got to experience first hand the effort, time and sweat it takes to get the food we eat from farm to table. The tour was highly interactive including planting rice, fishing for crabs, riding a water buffalo and biking the city. Everywhere we went, we were greeted with a smile from both other staff and locals. Mr. Cu was an excellent guy and business owner, hiring people for his staff of all backgrounds and abilities. I walked away from this tour with a different perspective and a new found appreciation for the food we eat and the people and communities who grow it. Thank you again my friend for a wonderful day ❤️

5.00What a great little trip, bike ride through Hôi An, along the river, then on to the rice fields & crops. Met a family with a Water Buffalo, which you could ride & have a go ploughing a bit of a paddy field. We then rode through fish farms & with a boat ride in a traditional basket boat along the river. We stopped further on to learn how to mill rice milk & cook pancakes to eat along with other tasty dishes. No need to eat before coming as there was plenty to eat. We then cycled back into Hôi An. Guide Ha was really nice & informative. Would definitely recommend 👌🏼
Great bike ride through the countryside

5.00Awesome bike ride with Duc! No problems for him when my 9 year old decided he could not ride the bike (overwhelmed by the traffic at first), so he had a seat delivered and my son sat on the back of his dads bike. Cooking class was extra fun and food was delicious. Highly recommend.
Well worth it, great experience!!

5.00Splendid bicycle tour. I went on the morning option, and there were only three people in our tour. Traveling around by bicycle through rice patties/scenic fields is a great way to explore the peaceful side of Hoi An. Mr. Cu is very knowledgeable and makes the tour so interesting. He has a broad knowledge of the local plants and herbs which he points out throughout the tour. Meeting a local farming couple and getting to feed and ride a water buffalo, as well as experiencing what plowing is like and planting rice in the ground was very interesting and enjoyable. The kind lady rinses your feet afterwards.
Fantastic experience

5.00Fantastic tour packed with fun activities! We loved it and made everlasting memories thanks to our amazing guide Duc. Definitely worth the money - this tour was actually the cheapest one I found but ended up being the best. Finished the day with a cooking class and delicious authentic vietnamese food. Local people that we have met along the way were all lovely and welcoming.
Fabulous Tour!
