The Glimpse of Hoi An Countryside tour offers an insider’s look into a slower, more authentic side of Hoi An—far from the crowds and postcard scenes. Traveling on the back of a classic Vespa, you’ll glide through peaceful farmland, remote villages, and scenic river routes where daily life follows the rhythm of nature.
Along the way, enjoy rare access to local family homes to learn traditional crafts passed down through generations, from rice paper making to lantern shaping. Meet farmers, watch artisans at work, and pause to savor simple local flavors like fresh sugar cane juice by the river.
The journey concludes with a relaxed coffee break overlooking cinematic rice fields, giving you time to soak in the quiet beauty of the countryside before returning to town. Thoughtfully paced and deeply personal, this morning ride is perfect for travelers seeking culture, calm scenery, and meaningful local connections.
Your cinematic journey begins with the rumble of a vintage Vespa. We guide you away from the crowds into the authentic soul of Hoi An’s countryside. Our first 'insider' privilege is a visit to a multi-generational family home. Here, you get a true behind-the-scenes view of how traditional rice paper is made—and even get hands-on to learn the craft yourself.
We glide past lush farming fields where life moves to the rhythm of nature, engaging with local farmers to learn about seasonal crops. After weaving through quiet villages, we pause for a true local refreshment: sipping a cold Nuoc Mia (Sugar Cane Juice) under the cooling shade of a tree, watching the slow-moving river traffic pass by.
The journey continues to a tranquil bamboo village, where we are invited into a home to witness artisans shaping iconic lanterns. Our final stop is a tranquil local café with spectacular vistas. It's the perfect spot to wind down, sip a flavorful Vietnamese coffee, and soak in the serene countryside soul before riding back to town.
Not at all. This is a gentle, participatory tour. The "hands-on" activities (like making rice paper) are seated, easy-going, and fun for all ages.
We designed this as a morning tour (8 AM - 12 PM) to ride during the coolest part of the day. Additionally, all our main stops—homes, workshops, and the café—are covered and shaded to keep you comfortable.
It’s a perfect balance. Your Vespa handles the rural roads, while the "magic" happens when we park. Expect short, easy walks (5-10 mins) to explore family homes and workshops.
