Pottery/Boat/Coffee morning - We had a lovely half day, starting at 9:00am with pick up from our hotel. From there we went with Tony in a private car to the pottery village, which was really interesting and in a beautiful village. We used the pottery wheel, and tried the blind pottery smashing at the museum. From there, Tony took us to the coconut boat, where we had an hour ride, we got to try the fast boat spinning and we did a bit of fishing for crabs. We finished the morning making Vietnamese coffee, which we will certainly be recreating when we get home, it was really tasty! Tony and his team were friendly and easy to communicate with for the whole experience. I’d really recommend to anyone staying in Hoi An.

Five star (TEN STAR) Review!! - We had so much fun! This tour with Tony and Lan was AMAZING! Seriously, this tour was incredible and totally deserves those five stars! Our driver, Tony, picked us up right on time at our hotel lobby, messaging as soon as he arrived. From the get-go, we knew it was going to be a fun day. One of the coolest parts was learning how to make ceramics with a wonderful craftswoman. It was so much fun (and way harder than it looks! I totally ruined it at first!), and we even got to take home our masterpieces (read: cups, as simple as it gets) as souvenirs. We got to make our own lanterns out of bamboo and silk (under the eyes of another skilled craftswoman, who made sure we didn't mess up too badly!). We were taught how to make them, fold them properly for storage, and set them up again. Then, we got to ride a buffalo through the super muddy fields in the rain, but it was so much fun! Such a gentle and chill animal, too! At our last stop, Lan patiently taught us how to make Vietnamese coffee, which is sooo good! The best part of the afternoon, though? Definitely exploring the coconut forest in bamboo basket boats. It was like something out of a movie, and we even got to see how the locals fish with nets and stuff. We also got to try putting out our own net (and caught one fish!), and caught a crab with a piece of chicken on a string. After all that fun, we got treated to a feast of local food made by our amazing host. It was all fresh, super tasty, and the perfect way to refuel before heading back. Seriously, this tour was unforgettable! It had everything - culture, beautiful scenery, and amazing food. Tony, our driver, made sure everything ran smoothly, and Lan's friendliness and knowledge made the whole day even better. This tour is totally worth the money and a must-do for anyone visiting Hoi An!

Awesome - Tony was my guide, he was professional, on time (early) and humorous. Tony was flexible and good with customising the trip (I didn't take the boat because of motion sickness). Was a great part of my trip to Hoi An

Coffee making, boat ride/ceramics. - Coffee making basic but good. Boat ride was nice we went fishing too. Ceramics (the reason we did this) was terrible not even 5 min, no info nor history then rushed to shop and demanded we buy things.
