Fun & Memorable Hoi An Farming & Fishing Tour - Our family(2 adults & teenager) toured around Hoi An with John on bicycles. We went to some rice fields, local home , the coconut boat ride. We rode around the countryside and through cute backroads/streets and met with some lovely locals to spend time with them in the their vegetable village learning how the locals produce their produce. We had a lovely lunch at the end of the tour and got to sit and chat with John as well. We also had the opportunity to meet and ride on a water buffalo. That was fun! The tour was from approx 8am until about 1pm and John was super informative, helpful and a pleasure to have as a tour guide. He is interested in getting to know about Aussie life and always working on his English! A great guy! A fantastic day out! I would highly recommend using John's services to all our family and friends.

Cycle tour around Hoi An - We had a great day with John who took us on a bike tour along the bank of the Cam Kim river through the local farming community. We stopped to have a trip in a rice boat which was fun, it was interesting to see other tourists enjoying the activities like the spinning boats and net throwing. From there we went to a local vegetable village and saw how the farmers grow their crops we also had a very enjoyable cooking lesson and had an amazing lunch with the family John was very knowledgeable and helpful Thid is something we would never have seen without a guide Thank you

Amazing experience - My wife and I took an amazing tour with John! Cycling around the surroundings of Hoi An, boating, meeting local farmers, and riding a huge water buffalo was the best way to spend the day. John is incredibly easy to talk to, always ready to answer any questions, smiling and charming. He literally guided us like children at every road crossing (which is especially valuable considering Vietnamese traffic)! We highly recommend excursions with John to everyone, and we will definitely book more tour programs with him again!

Awesome family day! - We had a great family day with John! He was able to tailor our bike riding to local villages tour to our youngest child’s bike riding experience and we were able to get closer to the real Vietnam, with glimpses of farming life, a ride in the basket boat and tasting of delicious fresh organic food made from the farm we just walked through. Dietary intolerance for gluten free catered for easily. Thoroughly recommend!

Private Hoi An family bike tour to Organic Vegetable Village. - Our family of 4 had a fantastic half day bike riding tour with John. He took us along the river and past rice fields explaining how the families help each other with planting. We had a coconut boat ride and tried tossing a fishing net which my son loved. The highlight was visiting the Organic Vegetable Village. We met a couple of the Vietnamese farmers, did some planting and watering. Finally we learnt to make crispy pancake and had a delicious lunch with some produce from the vegetable village. John was a fantastic guide. He kept us safe riding on the roads, taking quieter routes. He is from one of the villages and has all the local knowledge. Highly recommend this tour.

Family day out in Hoi An with John - I went around Hoi An with John on a bicycle with my family, we went to some rice fields, went in a coconut boat, drove around the countryside and met with some locals to spend time with them in the vegetable village learning how the locals produce their produce, and we had some cooking lessons and local food too which was a great experience. We also had the opportunity to meet and ride on some water buffalo during the tour, which isn't normally included as John knew the buffalo owner on the tour that we bumped into which was an extra special addition. The tour was from approx 8:30am until about 1:30pm and John was super informative, helpful and a pleasure to have as a tour guide. I would highly recommend using John's services to see the area.

Highly recommend, really enjoyable - Really enjoyable experience. Really worth while when in Hoi An. Amazing to see the bamboo forest via a basket boat and really lovely to see how the farmers grow the vegetables and herbs. The experience was made especially memorable due to John, our tour guide, who provided lots of information and was very personable. He made sure everyone in the group was comfortable throughout the entire tour. Highly recommend.

Best local guide in Hoi An! - John is amazing, I cannot say enough about how kind, knowledgeable, and fun he is! Our Hoi An Farming and Fishing Life tour was unlike any experience we’ve had in Vietnam. From the hands-on farming demonstration, the bamboo boat ride, riding a water buffalo, and biking through the Hoi A countryside this is tour with John is a must when visiting Hoi An.
