The pitch
Why a private tour, not a group one
Hoi An's old town is one street. The countryside is fifty kilometres of water-coconut palms, herb fields, mid-century concrete pagodas, and back lanes you'll never find in Google Maps. A private tour means we drive what you want to drive — slow, stop often, leave when most people are still in the lantern lanes. This is the day for travellers who already saw the bridge yesterday and want the rest of the place.

FAQ
Questions about this private tour
Is this the same as the 'eco tour' or 'coconut village tour'?
It's the better version of those. Group eco-tours stop at one basket-boat operator who pays a commission and put you back on the bus in 40 minutes. We use a basket-boat family that doesn't pay anyone — same boat, no markup, no rush.
Can we add cycling?
Yes. Cam Kim island is the best easy ride in the area; we stash bikes in the car and you ride 8–10 km of flat back roads. Driver follows in the car for water and shade breaks.
