Review of Hoi An’s rural cycling tour, with rice fields, Tra Que farming, a local market, and a peaceful 40-minute basket boat ride.
“We had a lovely time. Our guide, Nhat, was so cheerful and knowledgeable. I really liked the fact that this tour supports small farmers. The visit to the organic farm was great and the farmer we met was so proud to show us his beautiful garden. 3 1/2 hours was perfect. All flat roads and we got to see some of the country side just outside of Hoi an. Driving in and around the Ancient town was challenging but exhilarating and Nhat helped us navigate through the crazy intersections. Would definitely recommend.”
