Hoi An Countryside Cycling & Family Cooking Experience

Half-Day Tour (8:00 AM – 1:30 PM)

Begin your morning with hotel pickup by Dong before setting off by bicycle into the countryside surrounding Hoi An. Ride at an easy pace through quiet village roads to Tra Que Herb Village, a small farming community known for its organic herbs and traditional cultivation methods.

Here, you’ll meet local farmers and learn how herbs are grown using time-honored techniques passed down through generations. Dong will share insight into rural life in Hoi An as you explore the gardens—an unhurried and authentic glimpse into the region’s agricultural traditions.

Continue by bicycle to the local fish market and Hoi An central market, where daily life unfolds in full color and activity. Browse fresh seafood, vegetables, and herbs while Dong introduces the ingredients that form the foundation of central Vietnamese cuisine.

Around 10:30 am, arrive at Dong’s family home and enjoy a short break with iced tea, water, or Vietnamese coffee.

From here, join Dong and his family for a hands-on cooking experience in a traditional home kitchen. Working together, you’ll prepare a seasonal Vietnamese lunch using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The class is relaxed, interactive, and focused on sharing authentic home-style cooking techniques.

A typical menu may include:

• Cao Lầu (Hoi An’s signature pork noodle dish)

• Hoi An Rice Pancakes

• Stir-Fried Morning Glory with Garlic

• Fried Spring Rolls

Vegetarian options are available upon request.
