Description

Hai is the guide here, and that matters more than anything else about this operation. He runs private cycling tours, walking tours, and day trips around Hoi An and beyond – with enough local knowledge to make the usual tourist circuit feel like something you actually discovered yourself.

The cycling tour is the main event: farming demonstrations, bamboo boat rides, water buffalo encounters, lunch at good local spots. Private-only means you can ask the dumb questions and go at your own pace (and if it’s 35 degrees and you need to swap the bike for a motorbike, that’s apparently fine too).

Hai also does Ba Na Hills day trips and evening walking tours of the old town. The cooking class add-on with ‘Seven’ gets specific praise – worth asking about when you book.

Highlights

Insider Tip
Ask Hai about the cooking class add-on with Seven when you book - it gets called out separately by reviewers as a highlight, which means it's probably not being pushed hard enough upfront.
Pros
'- Hai is consistently described as knowledgeable, kind, and fun to spend a day with
- Private tours only - no being herded with strangers, no keeping up with the group
- Flexible on the fly (bike to motorbike swaps, pace adjustments, extra stops)
- Lunch and food recommendations land well above the tour-group average
Cons
- Pretty much a one-man show built around Hai - availability may be limited in peak season
- Reviews cut off mid-sentence in a few places, which suggests the day trips pack in a lot and tire people out before they finish typing
