Recently experienced an eco tour to Cam Thanh Village in Hoi An, and it was an unforgettable adventure! This tour offers some hands-on farmer tasks. We got to try our hand at planting vegetables and raking the field.
The guides were knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hoi An!
We had a super day today with Sue. Mr Huang and his wife were so sweet ….. everything we did was fun. Hotel is nice and in a good location.
Sue was really lovely and very patient with me as i was a bit slow. I was a bit worried about the bike ride but Sue was so good that it built my confidence so tomorrow i can borrow the bikes from the hotel and try on my own. Hoi A looks like lots of fun.
It was a highlight of my trip to Vietnam thanks to your amazing guide Tommy! Thank you guys! :) x
