Embark on a delightful private bicycle tour covering 16 km (10 miles) through Hoi An’s rural villages, where you’ll experience the warmth of local families and gain unique insights into traditional crafts and the local way of life. Our carefully selected route winds through peaceful countryside, far from the hustle and bustle of Hoi An Ancient Town.

• Start the tour with a short practice session to get familiar with your bicycle, the local roads, and important traffic rules in Vietnam.
• Cross the Thu Bon River to beautiful Cam Kim Island and enjoy cycling through picturesque rice paddies and peaceful rural villages.
• Visit a local family home to learn, step by step, how to make traditional rice paper using stone mills. Join the process yourself before tasting the delicious rice paper you have helped prepare.
• Continue cycling through tranquil countryside, where you may spot cows and water buffalo grazing in the fields or cooling off in the river. Stop at a family specializing in traditional incense making to learn about this long-standing Vietnamese craft. Create your own organic incense and experience its natural fragrance.

• Continue with an easy 3 km ride to the nearly 500-year-old Kim Bong Carpentry Village, once renowned for crafting wooden structures for kings and mandarins during Vietnam’s feudal period.
