The tour was excellent! We did a private afternoon tour with our 3 children; 15, 13, 10. We got a glimpse in to how folks live and work on the island. It was our favourite part of our trip. A Don’t miss opportunity. “Lola” our tour guide was fantastic!

Despite making last minute adjustments, Pascal and Thu were incredibly accommodating and helpful. We initially booked for the adventure tour but decided the day before that we would like to do a shorter cycle. Arriving on the morning Pascal said he would take us as far as we would like, stopping along the way frequently for pictures, coffee, food and other refreshments. Pascal was really informative and pointed out lots of local information along the way. He knows the countryside of Hoi An very well.A refreshing diversion from the typical tour this full day experience was enriching and entertaining from start to finish.

A refreshing diversion from the typical tour this full day experience was enriching and entertaining from start to finish. Begin with a great itinerary touring the delta islands near Hoi An, combine with small group size and the most engaging guides ever, and great attention to the details of Vietnam everyday life...and you have this unique experience. The guides felt more like travel companions, enjoying the day with guests and offering not only information, but insight regarding current Vietnamese culture. The willingness to share aspects of their own personal lives gave us travelers a sense of the changing culture today. Throw in a healthy dose of humor and very interesting stops....our best tour in many weeks of Vietnam travel. You needn’t be a great athlete for the real Vietnam tour, lots of stops along the way! Thanks for a great day!Tram and Hai lead our small group of varied cycling ability on a truly wonderful full day tour through varied countryside and villages.

Tram and Hai lead our small group of varied cycling ability on a truly wonderful full day tour through varied countryside and villages. As locals they provided great breadth of information on everything from fishing and farming to cultural beliefs and practices. Tram's enthusiasm and humour kept us all pedalling along even when the weather became uncomfortably hot at midday. A well constructed tour with stops along the way offering opportunities to meet local residents and learn of daily life.The tour was really good. Guide with good english. If I would do it again I would take a longer tour.
