One-of-a-kind experience - We joined the Dong Hoi Biking and Street Food tour. Mo was a passionate, cheerful and thoughtful guide—incredibly kind and generous. This was truly a one-of-a-kind experience that made us fall in love with Dong Hoi. From the get-go, Mo made us feel like we were hanging out with a friend rather than simply doing a tour. She never rushed us, so we were able to savor every moment. The tour offered amazing opportunities to meet with different locals, especially a time to eat and chat with local fishermen, who kindly allowed us to see part of their daily life and shared the fish that they had just caught! Everyone we met was so kind and welcoming. Every food we tried was scrumptious. Moreover, biking around the town allowed us to view it from an especially lovely perspective. This is not a tour for people who hope to rush around and see a million things in a day. But if you are seeking a taste of local life and/or value truly being present in a place, this is the tour for you. We thoroughly enjoyed this unforgettable day and were especially moved by Mo’s dedication to helping the local community here.

Great! So much more than a food tour! - Excellent tour! This is much more than a food tour - it's a history and culture tour as well. Mo is so much fun and very knowledgeable. We got to try sooo much food, and Mo even added some extras for our adventurous tastes. We really enjoyed stopping by the fishing village and talking with the fishermen, and seeing the seafood market, and the sweet soup was a favorite too. Thank you Mo for a great tour!!

Memorable morning with Mo! - We absolutely loved our tour with Mo. It was very rainy, so she showed up in a car rather than with bikes, and we visited all the same places while staying dry in the process. We enjoyed many delicious traditional dishes and drinks at several different restaurants and saw historical sights and visited the city’s largest market where we sampled several foods we hadn’t seen before. Mo even helped us purchase a table runner we loved at a coffee shop that wasn’t actually for sale! It will be a wonderful reminder of a delightful morning.

Do it! - Do it! My bike tour was the highlight of my stay in Dong hoi. My guide was a knowledgeable and very nice girl. You will avoid eating in tourist places and you will appreciate the real Vietnamese cuisine, you will walk through the colorful market, and you will see views that you would otherwise miss. The comfort of the bicycle will make the kilometers fly by!

Brilliant food tour 🥗🥘🚲with a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ guide - After an amazing (but exhausting) 2 days trek to, in, around and back from Hang En cave, we decided to spend a few days in Dong Hoi. Our bike tour - led by Thai - was 100% the highlight of our time in the city. Thai is charming, knowledgeable, fun and has an excellent grasp in English. He steered us well clear of tourist traps, leading us to local haunts, fish markets and Bijou coffee bars. We ate and drank extremely well for a very small amount of money. The tour also ran over 4 hours long, and Thai would've gone on longer if we hadn't had to leave. We highly recommend this tour to anyone planning to spend a few days in Dong Hoi. You won't regret it.

Only dumplings - We started in a coffeshop. Visit the market an we where going to eat viet pancakes. The restaurant was closed so no pancakes. We had som dumplings, they where very good and then we where supposed to have som soup but that restaurant was closed. And then the tour was over after 3 hours instead of 4. I asked if we could visit another restaurant but she said that no one where open! It is a city and it seems very strange that there was nowhere to go and have some pancakes and soup! I saw a lot of opened restaurants and this small business in the street. We where disappointed since we paid for food we never got to eat. The bike tour itself was fun though and the guide spoke great English and was otherwise very nice.
