Hoi An: Morning Countryside Tour by Bike

2. Hoi An: Morning Countryside Tour by Bike

Morning is the ideal time to explore the hidden passageways and winding alleys of Hoi An. Meet at the local tour provider's shop at #21 Hai Ba Trung Street. Walk 20 meters up the small alleyway and you’ll see it on your left behind the green gates. Your guide will fit your bike, give a safety briefing and provide an overview of the tour. Have the chance to photograph the iconic Japanese Bridge in the historic district. Crossing the canal bridge first near the night market, continue to the new metal bike bridge connecting Hoi An proper and its southern villages of Quang Nam Province. Not far from the bridge, visit a local family making Banh Beo using the traditional method. These small, savory rice flour bowls are a common breakfast staple in the countryside. Continue riding to one of Hoi An's most beautiful villages, stopping at a family home to learn about the tradition of family chapels. Your host is nearly 90-years-old and vividly remembers his experiences during the American War. Pedal past rice fields and vegetable farms along small canals and waterways towards a wooden boat building site. Fishing is still the lifeblood of the province and the construction of these ships is quite amazing to witness and photograph. If the timing is right, you'll also see families gathering to clean fishing nets between journeys at sea. The roads narrow again to concrete paths and your final stops will include a traditional mat weaving shop and a family distillery, where rice wine has been produced in the same manner for generations. Of course, samples for a tasting will be provided. A short ride from here, you will board a local ferry for a trip back to town. Have your cameras ready for great views of the Hoi An waterfront. Once dockside, it's a short 5 minute ride through alleyways back to the local tour provider's shop.

Nancy from Hoi An Food Tours is the absolute best! She knows Hoi An so well, knows when the best times to get the best foods are, and has great details about each dish. The white rose dumplings were perfect, banh mi from the Banh Mi Queen was great, as well as the other 4 other dishes! We got to join the local bingo game (and won!) and seeing Old Town at night was magical. If you really want to see and experience Hoi An, Nancy from Hoi An Food Tours is who you want to show you.

We had a very tasty and informative late afternoon walk with Bon/Flora, our fun and friendly guide, who took us to taste some great local bites in the alleys of Hoi An. I recommend to arrive with an empty stomach since all the food you taste is delicious. Definitely recommended!

The weather was atrocious but the tour went ahead anyways and we and our guide made the most of it. He even ended us taking us out for a few drinks after in the locals spot

Bong is amazing!! She guided our family through the streets and alleyways of Hoi An and gave us an experience we will never forget!!

We kept going despite the weather. Super guide! What an experience!
