Excellent relaxed ride around the Hoi An back country.
My wife and I opted to do a private tour and loved every minute. Trinh was delightful and grew up in hoi an so her local knowledge was second to none. Her English was also excellent!! Her quest to take you off the beaten track resulted in a easy, 20km flat route through Hoi An and the villages beyond. We did not meet a single tourist for our whole tour! We got a brilliant insight in to local village life without feeling that you were just gawping! Villagers genuinely intrigued by us, Trinh translated all so we could start to interact! Delicious breakfast and lunch, transport from hotel, water all included! River taxi back into hoi an also a treat!!! Thanks again Trinh, best tour we have done in Vietnam!

The best guided tour is Vietnam !
If you are looking for quality and authenticity this tour is for you ! We were in a small group (only one other couple) and we had two guides : Trinh and Moon, who speak a perfect English. They took us through Hoi An countryside, in small villages, far away from all the tourist attractions and we were the only tourists in the area (the villagers even seemed surprise to see us). We visited 3 local families who showed us their handicrafts (I won't spoil you but two of them were about food and it was an interesting and yummy experience !). The two guides actually know these families, it's not a show for tourists : they really share something with us and we got to talk about Vietnamese weddings, ancestors worship, and so many other things ! We highly recommend this bicycle tour if you want to : - Discover Hoi An off the beaten tracks - Take your time and talk with local guides about Vietnamese culture - Eat good things (the lunch was very good too !) - Meet local villagers - Experiment traditional handicrafts with smiling people eager to let you try. Cam on for this amazing day !
Response from the operator: Hello Adeline! Thank you very much for your review. We are glad you got to discover another side of Hoi An with us. Hope you got some nice memories with the locals and us during your time in Hoi An. Safe travel! Best regards!

Amazing tour
We did this tour while on our honeymoon. Our trip to Hoi An was great but the highlight was definitely our bike tour with Trinh and her assistant (don’t remember her name). Trinh was so lovely and full of information about the community and all of the culture. She grew up and lives in the area so it was truly like spending the day with a friend who wanted to show you around their home town. The ride itself was beautiful and quite easy with no hills. We had a rainy day but it didn’t slow us down and they had rain ponchos and bags for our stuff. We would do it all again in a heartbeat and wish we had a guide like Trinh to show us around every city we go. If you’re considering this just book it. It was great to get out of the busy parts of Hoi An and get a glimpse into the beautiful more peaceful countryside.
Response from the operator: Hello @matthL3176OK! Thank you very much for your review! We are happy to hear that you had a good time with us during your honeymoon in Hoi An. It was a pleasure having you both on tour. Thank you again and all the best to you and both! Trinh

Great tour with great mates
Myself and 7 mates were on a golf trip to Hoi An while we were on a rest day we decided to go on a tour. We heard about this tour with the best tour guide in HoiAn called Trinh she picked us up from our resort on time & a great smile. Trinh will take you to places that other tours have never been or thought of all 8 of us would recommend this tour & look forward to when we visit again to catch up. Thanks again Trinh.
Response from the operator: Hello IanSpalding66! Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that you and your friends had a good tour with us! We hope to see you again in the future! Best regards, Trinh

Amazing local experience !
Amazing bike tour experience that I wouldn’t have been able to experience otherwise. I’ve been in Hoi An for about a month now and I hoped to experience something more authentic than just going around old town - and I got exactly what I hoped for. The ride allows you to access the more local, countryside of Hoi An which would’ve been extremely difficult to find on your own as a non-native. The best part of it is that you get to talk to real locals, who’s been living here for generations, and get to experience a tiny bit of their part of contribution to the community. It definitely isn’t one of those bike tours where you ride through the closest rice field and take a photo and I absolutely loved it! For those who want to experience the more authentic side of Hoi An away from the old quarter, I highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you Sooah L for your review! It was a pleasure having you on tour! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed biking with us and we hope to see you again in the future! Best regards, Trinh

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Riding Back In Time Around Hoi An: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Riding Back In Time Around Hoi An cost?
+
Prices start at $13 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 Riding Back In Time Around Hoi An take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Riding Back In Time Around Hoi An worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Riding Back In Time Around Hoi An?
+
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 Riding Back In Time Around Hoi An suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Riding Back In Time Around Hoi An?
+
Around 3 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Riding Back In Time Around Hoi An 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 Cooking Class Hoi An:Local Market, Basket Boat, Fishing & Cooking, Hoi An Riverside Cooking Class(Local market,Basket Boat,Fishing), Hidden Gems of Old Hoi An – Food & Cultural Walking Tour. 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.
