Highly recommended. Lots of fun/informative activities, route takes you through some scenic places. Group size was good. Besides the guide's enthusiasm, I really appreciate that he had a good rapport with the local families we visited. It was nice to see that they were happy to have us visit (and we weren't just another group of tourists disturbing their daily lives).

Such an amazing tour! ⭐️ A highlight of my time in Hoi An. You visit carpenters, and get to carve your own key chain, learn how rice noodles are made and make your own (and sample some rice noodle snacks and jasmine tea!), learn about the farming, and watch and get involved with mat weaving! Eric is also fantastic, so friendly and informative!
