Great! - Lovely tour … when one of our bikes got a flat tyre there was a replacement there within a few minutes. Well done. This was three separate activities joined into one. All were great, and the food we cooked under Lily’s expert guidance was delicious. I was particularly impressed by her attention to dietary issues.

Wonderful experience - The bicycle ride to the vegetable village was challenging and interesting. The vegetable farm was big. We learned how to make the rice paper crispy. The cooking class was marvelous and the dishes were yummy. We enjoyed the class and the lunch. The bamboo boat ride was nice.

Do it! - We had a wonderful time biking around Hoi An to the vegetable village and then to the crab fishing and cooking class location. Our guide was very friendly and took us to the home of some local farmers who had us practice some farming techniques on their property and showed us how to cook rice cakes. We then took a beautiful bike ride through some rice paddies and shrimp farms and after crab fishing in a basket boat, we cooked a four course meal which turned out to be fun and absolutely delicious (the meal we cooked in class was better than when we ordered the same dishes later that night at a restaurant).

Quality - Long was a fantastic host, welcoming and informative. Taking the bike was fun even if the roads are a little crazy, long looks after you. Long and hus brothers cookery lesson make for a must do trip.

Nice way to spend half a day in Hoi An - Nice tour for a family. I was able to WhatsApp the tour guide a few days before the trip, coordinating location and timings. Unfortunately it wasn’t a true “countryside” bicycle trip as it involved a lot of roads so caution to those who want that as a highlight. For those experienced cyclists, it should be no problem as there was a fair attempt at making a cycling lane for some roads. In the end we had to top up 200k dong to switch to car as my folks were intimidated by the weather and busy roads. Vegetable farm was short but a nice glimpse into the Vietnamese local farming culture. Sadly we missed the rice paper making as it was a Sunday. Bamboo boat ride was as expected - a short jaunt down a sea side. Highlight was the cooking class held by the guide Quan. Delicious food, entertaining teacher with a good grasp of English. Noted they catered to the adjuvant Vegetarian group. Overall it was enjoyable with hit and misses. A good way to spend 4 hours in Hoi An.

An enjoyable few hours escaping large tourist crowds! - Most of this tour was really great, the basket boat was better than i expected as we tried to catch crabs and the people made us little leaf items like a ring, glasses etc, the cookery class was a good experience and a lovely location. The buffalo ride was a little disappointing as you only go maybe 15 meters, it would be great if maybe you could go into the water with them or wash them.
