TOUR DISCRIPTION

Start Time: 8:00am – End Time: 12 pm 

Meeting Point: Discova Day Tour Shop Hoi An: 25 Dinh Tien Hoang , Hoi An 51308, Vietnam (look for the white house at the intersection)

Trade the lanterns and riverside cafés of Hoi An’s Old Town for the quiet rhythms of the countryside and ride one of Discova’s most popular cycling tours, a relaxed half-day journey led by an expert local guide through backroads, rice paddies, and small villages. We designed this bike tour for a truly immersive experience with no rush and no pushy shopping stops, limited to no more than 8 guests. The ride moves at an easy pace with time to stop for photos, taste local snacks, and enjoy authentic encounters.

We start from our shop in town with a short bike fitting and safety briefing before setting out through quiet backstreets and across the bridge that connects Hoi An to the southern villages of Quang Nam Province. The ride soon opens up to peaceful countryside roads lined with coconut palms and vegetable gardens, where locals head to the fields on bicycles. Along the way, your guide shares stories of village life and explains how these communities continue to balance tradition with the changes tourism brings.

Our first stop is a small family kitchen, where bánh bèo (steamed rice cakes) are prepared for breakfast using the traditional method. It’s a simple, delicious insight into daily life in the countryside before we continue riding to one of Hoi An’s most beautiful villages, where we stop at a family home to learn about the tradition of family chapels. From here, the route follows small canals and waterways towards a wooden boat-building site. Fishing remains the lifeblood of the province, and the sight of craftsmen shaping hulls by hand is a highlight for photographers. If the timing is right, you’ll also see families gathered by the shore cleaning their fishing nets between journeys at sea. Our final stops include a family-run distillery where rice wine is still made in the same way it has been for generations. You’re welcome to sample a glass, or for the adventurous, try the stronger local version infused with herbs! After that, it is time to ride back to Hoi An.

This Discova Experience includes your bicycle, helmet, snacks and the support of a licensed bike guide. Covering around 20 kilometers of flat, quiet roads, the route is suitable for anyone with moderate fitness. What makes this ride special is Discova’s connection with the local families you’ll meet as we’ve worked with them for years to ensure your visit helps support their community in small but meaningful ways.

Meeting Point: Discova Hoi An Office: 25 Dinh Tien Hoang, Ward Tan An, Hoi An, Quang Nam

Ending Point: 23 Công Nữ Ngọc Hoa, Hội An, Đà Nẵng, Vietnam

Start your tour with a 'banh mi' (sandwich), at Madam Khanh’s – the best fusion between French and Vietnamese cuisine.

Then, try out the famous delicate white rose dumplings, found exclusively in Hoi An. Enjoy these delicacies while marveling at the work that goes into them. The staff churns out up to 6000 of these dumplings every day, and each one is as beautiful as the one before. Your visit here includes a chance to try making a few of your own dumplings, too!

Next, experience the famous 'banh xeo Hoi An', which is a cousin of the Saigon crêpe, but smaller (and perhaps even tastier). Here you will also have the opportunity to try cao lau, one of the most refined soups in Vietnam: pork and greens on a bed of rice noodles, made from rice which has been soaked in lye water.

Down a nearby alley, head onward to visit a 250-year-old ancient house. This is your chance to step inside a traditional Hoi An home and see how the locals live (and eat, if you are lucky enough to visit during their dinner time)!

Stroll around the house, spending time with the host to learn about his life. Before moving onwards, visit his workshop, where his skillful hands spend hours creating sophisticated and creative silver jewelry.

Finally, rap up your tour with a sweet note with a local specialty, green bean cake, and enjoy a local Vietnamese coffee – the perfect ending to any meal.

Discover Hoi An through its legends, symbols, and secrets that still whisper in the night. As dusk falls over the Old Town, follow your Discova storyteller-guide on an immersive evening walk where every corner holds a tale. Our Myths & Secrets of the Ancient Town walk begins at the Ancient Well on the corner of Hoi An Market, a quiet spot woven into centuries of daily life and local belief, surrounded by stalls piled high with herbs, incense, lanterns, and fresh produce.

From here, continue to the Fujian Assembly Hall, where local sailors once prayed to the Sea Goddess Thiên Hậu before crossing dangerous seas. The walk then leads to the Ba Lê Well, believed by many to hold sacred Cham water – the mystical ingredient that gives life to the town’s famous Cao Lầu noodles. You will also get to taste this dish in a nearby family-run eatery tucked inside an old shophouse and learn how centuries of trade shaped its unique flavour.

Strolling deeper into the lantern-lit streets, pause at a local herbal tea shop for a herbal tea, a drink rooted in healing and harmony for centuries. Along the way, your guide brings ancient stories to life, from the dragon sleeping beneath the Japanese Bridge to the Faifo girl who waited forever for her sailor, and the beliefs that gave meaning to the town’s bridges, wells, and shrines. The walk ends at the riverside, where the Thu Bồn River comes alive at night with glowing lanterns, wooden boats, and the hum of cafés and market stalls. Guests are welcome to spend the rest of the evening in the area, taking a famous boat ride on the river or enjoying dinner at one of the many nearby restaurants.

Meeting Point/Ending Point: Discova Day Tour Shop Hoi An. Address: 25 Dinh Tien Hoang , Hoi An 51308, Vietnam (look for the white house at the intersection)

In town: Cycling along small and quiet alleyways that are very pleasant to ride, we reach the riverfront of the historic district long before crowds descend on the city. Our guide will help you get your bearings in the center of town and point out the nearby historic sites.

Countryside: Crossing the river, we leave the city behind our wheels on our way to My Son, venturing off onto rural pathways accessible only to bikes and motorbikes. It's not long before we are pedaling through small villages, past family farms and rice fields, greeting friendly workers along our way. This is your best opportunity to glimpse authentic Vietnamese life.

Depending on the season, we may pass rice, corn and even sunflower fields as we explore a very different landscape to that of the city. We'll hardly see any four-wheeled vehicles as we sneak through a network of shortcuts and connections that only locals would know.

Snack Break & My Son ruins: After replenishing our energy with a healthy snack of fresh fruit and local coffee or tea, it is a short transfer to the entrance to this UNESCO World Heritage site. New regulations require we park our bikes and board electric shuttle vans to the main ruins.

The temples and towers of My Son were built by the Cham people, initially Hindu and later of Muslim faiths. The Cham Kingdom, once dominant in the region, was eventually conquered by the Vietnamese and Khmer. Descendants of the original tribes are now scattered throughout the region, mostly along inland waterways. This incredible site of ancient ruins is an exciting glimpse into Vietnam’s past.

Transfer back to Hoi An: A drive aboard our private van with a midway stop for a simple but delicious lunch of local noodles tops off a fun, informative half day tour.

This ride is mainly on back alleyways, flat tracks and small roads - there are no hills so anyone who can reasonably ride a bike can do this tour. There are a few small sections on dirt trails where beginner riders will have to show some care, total 25 Kilometers for this tour.

Cancellation: There is no charge if any cancelation made 24 hours before the travel date.
