    Fab experience

    Enjoyed 6 hours with Luc. Pick up from resort , hubby rode his own scooter and Luc got the privilege of doubling me :) . Saw so many off the track sites we’d never have seen on our own. Love the local culture, visiting homes & families that produce wood crafts , pottery, rice paper , sleeping mats .. learning from each other and soaking up not only the Sun but everything we experienced. Highly recommend this tour and Luc as your guide , we had such a great day. Nadine & Craig New Zealand

    A great tour

    My tour guide today was Luc. He arrived on time and we set out on his motorcycle. I was extremely nervous. Luc assured me he would be slow and careful. The tour was excellent and I never felt nervous. Luc showed me some amazing sights around Hoi An province and explained aspects of the Vietnamese culture.

    Wild ride through the countryside!

    Wow! This is an awesome, intense adventure! If you are really looking to get off the beaten path and see the countryside of the area around Hoi An, this is the trip to take. Mr. Luc, our guide, was great, he's quick to joke, speaks great English, and will take you to places you might never think to go on your own. Highlights for us were making rice pancakes with some cheerful women in their home, visiting the My Son Sanctuary, driving up and down a winding mountain road, hiking up to one of the many swimming pools in a beautiful cascading waterfall in the mountains, driving over the bamboo bridge (which is WAY harder than it looks!), and getting stuck in the mud and having quite a laugh about it! You can tailor the trip to your needs, but I recommend coming with a desire for adventure, some skills on a moped, clothes you don't mind getting wet and muddy, and good shoes for hiking/climbing. What are you waiting for!? Send them a message and get out there!

    Awesome day riding to My Son

    Had an awesome day riding from Hoi An to My Son via the back roads with Luke. I self rode while my partner rode on the back with a mix of Luke and myself. It was a great way to see rural Vietnam and we had an absolute blast on the scooter. Would highly recommend.

    Hoi An Countryside Back Road Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.

    How much does Hoi An Countryside Back Road Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $39 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hoi An usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Hoi An Countryside Back Road Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hoi An is not rushed.

    Is Hoi An Countryside Back Road Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hoi An, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Hoi An Countryside Back Road Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Hoi An Countryside Back Road Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hoi An Countryside Back Road Tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hoi An can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hoi An and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hoi An Countryside Back Road Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hoi An within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Hoi An?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Hoi An experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hai Van Pass Motorbike Private Tour with Mister T Easy Rider, Hoi An Ancient Town Walking Tour with a Local, Cooking Class Hoi An:Local Market, Basket Boat, Fishing & Cooking. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Hoi An?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Hoi An?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Hoi An Countryside Back Road Tour?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Hoi An Countryside Back Road Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 351 listed pickup locations in and around Hoi An. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Hoi An Countryside Back Road Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Hoi An Countryside Back Road Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Hoi An Countryside Back Road Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Hoi An Countryside Back Road Tour if the weather is bad?
