Highlights
  • Cam Nam Island - The tour kicks off with a delicious smoothie and muffin at our comfortable riverside lounge in the center of Hoi An. After that, it’s time to hop on your scooter to start exploring. First up is a drive past the old town to Cam Nam Island where we’ll visit a local ship repair yard to experience the hard work involved in maintaining a local fishing boat. This stop represents the special connection Hoi An people have with the ocean and river and you’ll learn about daily life both on and off the water.
    Next on the agenda is a short drive through a local village and beautiful countryside, we will visit some local houses and locations to see and speak to people making important local products such as rice crackers, shoes, lanterns.
    After all that exploration, it would be a good time to take a break to rest and refreshments at a local stop overlooking Hoi An Ancient Town and Thu Bon River. At the stop, you will be provided a snack and cool drinks to relieve fatigue after the trip.

  • Cam Nam Island - Then, time to capture the beauty of Hoi An landscape with local artist

  • Tra Que Vegetable Village - Afterward, on our drive through the countryside, you’ll experience up close the resplendent beauty of the rice paddies, grazing buffalo’s and monkey bridges (the local nickname for unique bamboo bridges so thin that it is joked that only monkeys can cross them!), all of which offer plenty of perfect photo opportunities
    We’ll cruise along to Tra Que Village, a beautiful herb and vegetable garden which supplies many of the restaurants in the ancient town. Here you’ll learn about the herbs and spices that give a distinct flavor to local dishes and the hard work that goes into growing them.

great visit to hoi an - We had the pleasure of touring Hoi An on an electric scooter, which enabled us to discover places we'd never seen before. During the tour, we were able to meet several locals who introduced us to their activities (lantern making, leather shoe making, rice cake making). We also stopped off at a local restaurant for a drink and banh mi, and finished the tour with a cocktail at the bar on Han Bang beach. It was great, I recommend it.

Amazing Tour! - Great tour! We really enjoyed it, we were able to ride our own vespas which was important. We visited a woman in her home and watched how she made rice paper. We also learned how to make lanterns and made our own. Shoutout to Vin for being a great guide!

Amazing Experience, Sights & Guides - We had a wonderful day with Sno and Jan. They were so friendly and lovely and took us to see local houses where they made lanterns, rice crackers, and shoes. We then met an artist who painted an amazing water colour for us and helped us paint one too as we ate Bahn Mi. We saw the vegetable and herb farming areas (and some water buffaloes on the way). An amazing incite into the Vietnam way of Life. Beautiful sites and wonderful guides. A fantastic trip we would recommend 100%. Thank you for a very memorable day. Andrew & Jacqueline x

Tour guide and tour was amazing... - <p>Tour guide and tour was amazing. However, we were not clearly told where to meet the tour guide. The website told us to go to a specific cafe to meet the tour guide however, it turned out that was an old meeting location. When we finally found out where to go we were 2 hours late. </p> <p>Most importantly, several pictures were taken of us during the tour and as part of the fee we paid we were meant to be sent these pictures. We were really looking forward to seeing them, the tour guide took our emails so he could send them through but never sent them. We would have taken more pictures ourselves if we knew they would fail to send them to us. We have been following up for over 3 months and have received no pictures. reason for the bad review</p>
