100 percent recommendation! - We had a private tour, just for our family of 5 including teenagers. We did the tour in a refurbished, very well-maintained Vietnamese military jeep, from 1990. The tour was excellent! The guide Ben was very friendly, very knowledgeable, patient and spoke excellent English. He explained and showed us the local life of Hoi An’s countryside, it was interesting and fascinating for all of us, from young kid to teenagers and adults, we all had a great day and enjoyed the tour very much! We would absolutely recommend it!

SEE THE REAL HOIAN FROM A NICE OPEN JEEP - Great day out in the countryside around Hoi An. We rode in an old army-style jeep that fit all six of us comfortably. Stopped by a local village where we tried making incense sticks, had coffee out in the rice paddies next to an old brick furnace you could climb for a cool view and some pics. Also visited a whale-worshipping village and saw some amazing scenery along the way. Our guide Ben was awesome — super friendly and explained everything in a way that was easy to follow. Cold water and beer were available the whole time, and the lunch was solid. Perfect tour for a family looking for a fun, relaxed adventure with a local touch.
