Discover old town and beyond on the back of a Vespa
This isn’t your average tour—it’s an authentic adventure that lets you uncover the hidden charms of Hoi An in the most exciting way possible. Start your journey by zipping through the ancient town on a vintage Vespa before the crowds appear, weaving through its narrow alleys that whisper tales of history and charm. Stop to admire the exquisite architecture of ancient houses, iconic temples, and the vibrant buzz of bustling local markets. Then, leave the tourist trails behind and delve into the countryside's delightful maze of backroads. Cruise past vibrant, lush green rice paddies and serene waterways, exchanging warm smiles with local farmers along the way.
