Step by step

Itinerary

Your student driver and guide will pick you up at your hotel, get you settled on the motorbike, and give you a quick rundown of the day’s plan before heading out into the countryside.

Begin your journey through Hoi An’s peaceful surroundings, passing lush vegetable gardens and green rice paddies. It’s a refreshing way to see daily life outside the old town.

Arrive at the famous Kim Bong carpentry village, where local craftsmen have built traditional wooden boats and houses for generations. Watch the techniques up close and learn how these skills have been preserved over time.

Take a break at the home of a local fishing family, who also make roofs and walls from coconut leaves. This is a chance to sit down, hear about their daily lives, and see how traditional materials are still used in the region.

Continue to Cam Thanh, where you’ll watch families making colorful sleeping mats and visit a bamboo workshop. These hands-on crafts are a big part of village life, and you’ll see how much skill goes into every step.

Round off the tour with a tasty bowl of Hoi An’s specialty — Quang noodles — at a small local restaurant. It’s a comforting and delicious way to end your countryside ride.

After lunch, your driver will bring you back to your hotel in Hoi An, finishing the half-day tour.

Couple on day tours from Hoi An

The long wait

After a four-year wait because of the pandemic, we booked two day tours from Hoi An. The army jeep tour over the Hai Van Pass was so much fun, and our guide showed us the best photo spots and shared the local history. At the crowded Golden Bridge in Ba Na Hills our guide tried his best, but it was too noisy and I lost interest in listening. We enjoyed other parts of the park and the buffet lunch.

Hoi An, a motorbike tour, the Hai Van Pass, a cool-off at a waterfall and the Marble Mountains

We enjoyed our motorbike day from Hoi An from the first minute: the Hai Van Pass, a cool-off at a small waterfall and the Marble Mountains. Our two drivers were such nice men to ride with, calm and safe on the road. Personal contact, very customer-focused and a super service. It was more than worth the money.

Amazing half-day tour to Marble Mountains and Son Tra Peninsula

We loved the Marble Mountains and Son Tra Peninsula tour. Our guide was an excellent host, showing us the beautiful Marble Mountains and Monkey Mountain. He even stopped along the way to show us a family of monkeys. We would highly recommend it!

Unburdened

The bike ride and the cooking workshop in Hoi An were amazing, like all our tours. One-on-one with a local makes the experience complete, with nice conversations with the English-speaking guide. I arranged the hotels myself, and our contact person arranged all tours, transfers and tickets. We were told the day before each activity.

Don't hesitate, book an unforgettable trip with Local Vietnam

Hoi An is a cozy old town, with the river full of boats decorated with lanterns, the night market, the tailor shops, the beautiful countryside for a bike ride and the little eateries where the food is delicious. We also recommend tasting the many coffees, such as egg coffee and salted iced coffee.

What security, quality and service!

Hoi An was one of the highlights of our three-and-a-half-week family trip. Great in every way! Even though it is extremely touristy, it was super fun. Our tip for Hoi An: Cham Island.

Everything taken care of down to the last detail

Our tours were of good to very good quality, very informative and excellently organized. We had booked them all from the Netherlands, and the day before each tour we got a heads-up of the pickup time. For Hoi An, we highly recommend the private car transfer from Hue and the Hoi An street food tour.

Hoi An was one of the highlights of our four-week trip through Vietnam (we are two sisters in our late fifties). We had clothes made there and went to the beach.
