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 unhurried version. Group eco-tours give you about forty minutes on the water before the bus leaves again. We use a basket-boat family we've known for years, and you stay as long as you're enjoying it.

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.
