Hoi An Biking Vegetable Village, Basket Boat, Coconut Forest

We did a cycling tour with Sonny, including visiting the vegetable village, noodle maker and cycling through the paddy fields. There was also a basket boat tour. We made stops for a drink of your choice - I had avocado smoothie which was delicious. We then stopped for lunch at a Hoi a restaurant and were served a variety of dishes to try. Sonny was very friendly and knowledgeable and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. It was quite a lot of cycling (11-12 miles) in the heat but it’s all flat and plenty of stops, so mangeable

Amazing bike tour. Such a unique way to really get out and see the people working the land and enjoy the outdoors. 10/10

Kha was an amazing guide! The weather was not good but he made it SOSO FUN and we had a blast! He is knowledgeable and super friendly! Highly recommend! Book him!

Firstly, thank you to Kha for being a great tour guide. Great energy and super social able. This was a fun way to see Hoi an! Thank you Kha!

This was such a super fun day out. Our guide Trang was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. She easily modified parts of the day to best suit our needs. Such a great way to see the true Hoi An and all of its lovely people

We were lucky enough to have a private tour and it was an awesome experience with Lanh. We places he took us and the u expected bonuses, such as riding a Buffalo, is something our family will remember for a long time.

This was a fantastic tour, we loved biking through the rice paddies, visiting the farming town, and the coconut boat and crab fishing was a highlight as well. Our guide Lanh was fantastic, knowledgeable, patient and able to pivot with an air conditioned car for us when the heat became too much for our daughter. We loved our experience! Would recommend going early to avoid the worst of the heat. Do not miss activity!

This was an exceptional trip - a highlight of our time in Vietnam. Our guide Lan (and Mr Ha) were fun and informative about Vietnamese culture past, present and future. There was a bike leader and one at the back to ensure everyone was safe. The vast majority of the tour was on footpaths in rice paddies. We learned so much during the tour about farming and Vietnamese culture.it was easy riding and fun. Thoroughly recommend even for those rusty at riding a bike.

Lan was our guide and she was amazing! We had a wonderful afternoon with her. She had excellent English and we had great converstations about everything from history, to policitics, the cost of housing, way of life, schooling, etc. We loved the visit to the bean sprout farm and learnt things we never knew before. We highly recommend this tour to others

LÀNH was a great bike tour guide, so kind and helpful! I loved learning about growing bean sprouts from a local farmer and visiting a farm where we watered the gardens in the traditional way and fed fish! Great fun!

We had such a wonderful day with John from Local Buddy Tours. He was very patient ensuring all our bikes were comfortable for the day. He took great care of us, as we rode through traffic and spoke excellent english. We met some beautiful, hard working local people and enjoyed delicious food. It was definitely a highlight for our trip to Hoi An and I would absolutely do it all over again. Request John if you’re in the area - he will take care of you and ensure you have an amazing experience!

My wife and I booked the HOI AN Biking Vegetable Village, Basket Boat, Coconut Forest excursion. We are so glad we did! Our tour guide Trung and Lan were amazing! They were so knowledgeable and made our experience on the tour so seamless. Show us the routes, took us around Hoi An and pointed out things of interest. Took photos and videos for us to help keep the memories of our day. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing another side of Hoi An and get Trung/Lan if possible. You won’t be disappointed!

Loved the bike ride, visiting the vegetable village was an eye opener, basket boat ride was very alot of fun, Lanh was a great tour guide,

Lanh was an excellent guide, knowledgable and friendly. Would highly recommend him for this trip. All the people we met on the trip were great as well

An exclusive insight to the local hidden gems! Tour guide Lanh is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. He is passionate about his job and will go above and beyond to make sure you have an amazing experience. A must do for anyone visiting Hoi An, to see how locals provide for their family. Very reliable company!!!

Lanh was our terrific, very friendly tour guide. Highly experienced and patient, he even took many photos and videos of our day, which was much appreciated. We had two small children riding with us and the terrain was flat, a little bumpy at times but the tour took us to places we’d never of otherwise been able to experience. Getting close to a water baffolo was massive highlight as was riding through the tranquil rice paddy fields. We chose the dinner option, which was a great choice. The meal was a delicious traditional Vietnamese 5 course dinner. Not having to think about trying to find a place to eat after a tiring day was welcomed by us! We give Lanh and the tour a massive 5/5!

It was my second Tour in two years, with this small and very friendly Agency, I can write that it was interesting as in 2023 but so different! Everything was great, especially because of the really professional and funny Tour Guide Mister Sunny. I was not expecting an experience like that, it’s now my 13th. trio in Vietnam 🇻🇳 since 2010, but I saw today so many new things for the first time!!! Only amazing…

Highly recommend Local Buddy tours! Lanh was an excellent tour guide. He was accommodating & made it a fun experience for all of us. The itinerary & pace was perfect for our little toddler.

It was an amazing, intressting and funny Tour with our Guide Ianh. Easy to cycle around in a beautiful landscape. Hope we can do it again sometimes

Relaxing tour around the country side of hoi an with a bicycle. Opportunity for a hands on experience on local farming. Carol and phuong are lovely, we exchanged stories along the way.

The tour was perfect to go out for a day and see the countryside around Hoi An. Tu and Lan were perfect guides and helped us with everything. The cycling was laid-back and we avoided all busy roads. The activites were fun and all the locals were really kind. This is a true private experience of the Hoi An countryside and I would recommend to anyone visiting whether family, couples or solo. This is the second time I book with Local buddy tours and specifically with Tu because he is so much fun to have around. It was nice to meet Lan who was also great company to have and I would recommend both of them for a guaranteed enjoyable day out. Overall, I don't have a single complaint and would choose local buddy tours over any other tour company in the area. Thank you again Tu and Lan for yet another unforgettable day and we will surely meet again in the future!

My husband and I attended the private bike riding tour today and loved it. We saw and got to experience so much of daily Hoi An life, meet locals and really get involved! Whether it was farming with local farmers, learning some Vietnamese from our amazing tour guide Tu, riding a water buffalo or riding with a non-english speaking Vietnamese woman in a basket boat, this tour is an amazing and relaxing way to get to see a lot of the city you couldn't get without a guide to lead you and translate for you. Our tour guide was hilarious and clearly genuinely cared about us having the best time possible. He joked, made us feel comfortable and took some amazing photos along the way for us (attached).The bike ride itself was very relaxed. Tu provided us with water, direction for the occasional busy road we need to cross as well as valuable information along the way. Additionally the roads travelled did not provide many challenges as it was very flat and we were able to choose our own speeds. To finish the day we were treated to a 6 course meal for dinner making this experience serious value for money with so much packed in to just half a day! I would recommend this tour to anyone coming to Hoi An.

We found this tour by chance online and we found booking and paying for the bike tour was easy and flexible simple Paypal transaction as a deposit and it was booked. organised. We were met following day by Tu and his assistant with 3 bikes and clear instructions on where we were going and what we would be doing. The bikes were in very good condition and the weather was reasonably good so off we went. We stopped at several places at locals houses and places of work where bean sprouts are farmed, where Bison plough the wetlands ( yes you get to ride a Water Buffalo ). you get to plough and water the abundant vegetables and fruits that are grown its a great fun experience, you sample, you taste, you ride, you paddle in a boat and you laugh! Tu has a great sense of humor and his stop off at the family eatery where you eat rolled pancakes are wonderful and extremely cheap! We had a great day all of us very reasonable price you see the real people and real Vietnam and eat real locally grown produce. I am going back with my family and kids was very impressed!
