Great tour! We really enjoyed it, we were able to ride our own vespas which was important. We visited a woman in her home and watched how she made rice paper. We also learned how to make lanterns and made our own. Shoutout to Vin for being a great guide!

Chuyến đi thật thú vị, chạy bằng xe ga điện. Tham quan một số điểm như : Làm lồng đèn, nơi làm bánh tráng, sửa tàu thuyền... Ngoài ra còn dừng nghỉ mát tại biển An Bàng vừa được ly nước mát vừa được chill trước cảnh biển. Một chuyến đi nửa ngày thật tuyệt vời có những trải nghiệm thật thú vị.

Great ride on an electric scooter! I think this is a great concept: it's easy to use, ecological and a lot of fun! We visited several handicrafts such as lanterns, boats, rice cakes and leather shoes. We could also admire many landscapes, taste specialities and drink at the beach. I recommend 100%.

What a great way to see the area. Our guides were great. Loved seeing the countryside, water buffaloes, visited fams, the beach and various home based craftsmen.

We had a wonderful day with Sno and Jan. They were so friendly and lovely and took us to see local houses where they made lanterns, rice crackers, and shoes. We then met an artist who painted an amazing water colour for us and helped us paint one too as we ate Bahn Mi. We saw the vegetable and herb farming areas (and some water buffaloes on the way). An amazing incite into the Vietnam way of Life. Beautiful sites and wonderful guides. A fantastic trip we would recommend 100%. Thank you for a very memorable day. Andrew & Jacqueline x

Tour guide and tour was amazing. However, we were not clearly told where to meet the tour guide. The website told us to go to a specific cafe to meet the tour guide however, it turned out that was an old meeting location. When we finally found out where to go we were 2 hours late.
Most importantly, several pictures were taken of us during the tour and as part of the fee we paid we were meant to be sent these pictures. We were really looking forward to seeing them, the tour guide took our emails so he could send them through but never sent them. We would have taken more pictures ourselves if we knew they would fail to send them to us. We have been following up for over 3 months and have received no pictures. reason for the bad review
