Unforgettable Hoi An on bike

Published on Dec, 2024

Ben was an incredible host! In fact, the best of our tours so far in Vietnam! Knowledgable, easy to talk to and friendly, Ben mapped out a wonderful itinerary through the countryside, an amazing bike ride through the beautiful scenery. We had our two boys with us- aged 12 and 14 and Ben took particular care to make sure they were safe and comfortable riding through the roads- we were safe and well taken care of. If you’re looking for a unique experience and want to be in good hands- this was a great adventure for the family

Bike tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Bike tour was amazing. Highly recommend. This was the second tour we’ve done on our trip with Thành and both were wonderful. The bike trip takes you through several small shops where you get to see traditional items being made. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

Great experience!!

Published on Dec, 2024

Such a fun and authentic Vietnamese experience! You get to see local villages and support the craftsmen of the area. I would absolutely do it again!

Awesome tour!

Published on Dec, 2024

The cycling tour was a ton of fun. We got to visit multiple local villagers and learned how they make their living. Everyone was very friendly and made a great experience!

Bike Ride Hoi An Villages

Published on Dec, 2024

Thanh is the best tour guide! He made our trip the most memorable experience, it was a beautiful bike ride with some amazing and unique cultural stops. Even with the rain Thanh made the most of it and kept our spirits up.
