Description
Hop on a bike, and we will discover the daily life of the local people in Hoi An. Far from the tourist hub of the old town, we will cycle on a scenic, narrow road through rice fields. Say hello to the buffaloes and gain an understanding of the rice farming process, witnessing how it grows in the wet fields. Stop by the 300-year-old Tra Que vegetable village, where you will be amazed by the variety of herbs and veggies, and learn the secrets to a long and healthy life.
Continuing the trip, we will cycle to a local market, where we will teach you practical Vietnamese phrases for bargaining, expressing gratitude, and giving compliments. You can also taste some unique and delicious fruits. Along the way, we will stop by the riverside to enjoy a special treat beverage. You will have the option to hop on a coconut boat, known as "Thúng Chai," to explore the waterways flanked by coconut palms. All your questions about the local way of life will be answered during this experience.
This is going to be a fun and enjoyable ride as you explore alongside a local friend.
