The trip was a lot of fun! We got to see a wide range of things and even get involved with some of the activities like making rice noodles! We were travelling with a baby and everything was super flexible and at our own pace, eg stopping as needed for a feed or to get her to sleep. Our guide and driver, ChickyTrung & Quang, were great!
Good experience

This was easily the best of the several tours we undertook during our 6 days in Hoi An. Huynh was an excellent and sensitive guide - we had a great time. Thoroughly recommended.
Excellent relaxing day in Hoi An
Published on Jan, 2025
A fantastic and relaxing way to spend a day. All the stops were interesting and informative. It was great to meet some locals at various traditional homes and jobs. Every person was extremely friendly and couldn't have been happier to see us and explain their lives to us (via the tour guide interpreting). The tour guide and drivers were excellent all day. We went in the jeep which was a great way to get around a few kilometres between stops.
