Victoria_L, Jan 2023
We had a great day with Ben, visiting local villagers by bike and learning about how they make a living. It was really interesting and there was no hard sell which was also great. The scenery and the people were both lovely and Ben was a great guide. We highly recommend this tour to others.

The real Vietnam

Beverley_M, Sep 2022
Wow what an incredible experience. A bike ride through a little village to a small Vietnamese island. We rode to the ferry then when we arrived the other end we stopped at a local carpenters sculptural workshop, ship repair yard, whale worship temple with whale bones, touched shy plant, Vietnamese mattress weave making, rice wine making with a singsong about he lost his friend and left leg in the Cambodian war, then onto making our own rice pancakes making, then cycled back to the ferry for lunch. The tour guides went way beyond my expectations. Memories overload.

Tolle Fahrradtour um Hoi An

Thuy_T, Mar 2023
Die Fahrradtour mit Thuy und Sunny (Nhat) war super! Wir haben so viel gesehen und erlebt, die Strecke war sehr interessant und entlang der Wohngebiete, Kondition der ganglosen Fahrräder gut und insgesamt eine runde Veranstaltung. Die beiden haben sich viel Mühe gegeben und uns eine einmalige Tour geboten, sehr empfehlenswert!
