Vietnam, motorbikes and foodie paradise. This tour combines all! Be whisked away by your driver on the back of a classic Vespa and sample what food delights Hoi An has to offer.
You`ll be picked up at your hotel in Hoi An at 5:30 pm by a guide with a Vespa Scooter. Starting out at our central Hoi An café, sample the delicious local street food delight, Banh Can, while watching the streets and stalls come to life and sipping a cocktail. After the first taster, head out on the Vespa to try the famous ‘White Rose’ in town.
We then head to lantern-lit An Hoi Islet and jump in a local boat for a slow ride alongside the ancient town to Cam Nam Island where we join the locals for a seafood starter overlooking the Thu Bon River as the sun sets on Hoi An. We can enjoy a few cold beers.
A leisurely drive along the banks of the river and through the alleyways & streets takes us to a lively local restaurant where we cook a hot pot at the table and learn the art of wrap ‘n’ roll – Vietnamese style!
A short ride through the busy streets and alleys takes us to our last port of call, and a recent addition to Hoi An’s vibrant dining scene, a modern Vietnamese restaurant where we tuck into some awesome BBQ specialities, grilled DIY style at our table! As is customary, cold beers are consumed, and we finish with the delicious dessert of Banh Flan, a light version of crème caramel.
The trip ends at 9:30 pm at your hotel.
