Buffalo riding and basket boat ride - Awesome experience. From the start to the end we were looked after very well. Meeting the buffalo was the highlight for me. The basket boat ride was also very entertaining and we had some great photo opportunities. Thanks to Long and his team! Highly recommend this tour.

Lovely bicycle ride through Hoi An - This tour experience with Long was fantastic. We had an amazing bicycle ride through the paddocks and met Se the water buffalo. The boat ride and local food speaks for itself. Thank you Long and your family for your kindness and hospitality.

An entertaining adventure all the way - I didn’t have high expectations for this because of the price point but boy was I wrong. You really get the bang for your buck on this one. We saw beautiful rice paddy fields and took a ride on a gentle bull. Then we went on the coconut boat ride. What a pleasant surprise. It was quite entertaining! We finished off with a delicious lunch. Many opportunities for great photos. Just be prepared to take a long leisurely bike ride. As long as you’re capable of that, you’re in for a real treat. Don’t hesitate on this one!
