I had a very good memory. - It was a great experience to ride a bicycle while feeling the nature of Vietnam. Our guide, Mr. Han, was very nice, and even though we are not good at English, we were able to enjoy the experience with ease. It was also a great experience to go barefoot in the mud during the buffalo ride, so I recommend that you participate wearing clothes suitable for going into the mud. The coconut boat ride was also more fun than we expected, as the staff were very good at keeping things lively, and it gave us energy.

Crazy Fun - This was the most fun activity we did in all of Vietnam (and it was a 3-week journey!). Biking through the rice fields was a hoot! The water buffalo surprisingly docile. The basket boat was crazy - think spinning your basket to wild music, then standing up in your basket boat to dance! At the end we each prepared part of our own delicious dinner. But the very best part was Mr. Cu. He is so fun, and funny, as well as organized and good at guiding the whole group. DO THIS!

A brilliant insight into Vietnam life. Cycling through rice fields, riding water buffalo, boat trip and amazing food! - Fantastic experience of traditional Vietnamese life. The best 5 hours you can have, from the very informative, funny and friendly guides and staff, to the locations, the organisation, the experiences and the final superb cooking demonstration and food, it is very well worth doing.

Bicycle and boat tour - Anna was an excellent guide showing us around Hoi An. The ride though rice fields was a treat, watching the harvest and water buffalo's. We went to an eco village and saw the local market. The boat ride wasn't really our scene (gangnam style blaring on repeat) but lunch after was amazing. Overall, we felt we got to see a lot of Hoi An in the half day tour, would definately recommend this!

Eco tour Hoi An - Great morning exploring the local farming developments by bicycle, taking a ride on a buffalo plus in a coconut boat ! Finished off with a delicious 5 course lunch ! Prompt collection from our hotel and lovely to explore the natural rural life plus see how techniques are developing and the locals are embracing their culture to encourage tourists to participate in activities.

Must do in Hoi An - Ask for Anh, she was great with us and our 2-year son loved her. We did bicycle, cooking herbs testing, buffalo riding, basket boat, crab fishing, and finished with a very good lunch made of local dishes.

Well worth it - This is a great way to experience elements of the traditional Hoi An way of life. Our guide Spring was friendly and knowledgeable. She started by showing us around a large working herb farm, where we got to smell various fragrant Vietnamese herbs, and try our hand at preparing the ground and planting them. Next we rode comfortable bicycles through the county side past, rice paddies and fish farms, rode a water buffalo, floated through coconut-fringed waterways in traditional round boats, fished for crabs then finished up with a delicious lunch of local cuisine. Highly recommended

Nice morning - Nice break from Hoi An ancient town vendors and crowds. Loved the chance to visit a bit of Hoi An surroundings. The boat ride felt more like an amusement park ride with hundreds of other tourists. Otherwise, meal was delicious and included in the bike tour. The drinks for the meal were charged and that seemed strange. I recommend the company pay for water at least for the meal.
