Sacred My Son: Hoi An Bike Journey to Ancient Wonders

This tour is a must do in Hoi An.The scenery was fantastic and the day even better with our guide Hoan,who was friendly, helpful and a gr8 sense of humour. His knowledge of Vietnamese history makes this tour very enjoyable. Special mention to the quality of bikes used on this tour ,comfort,brakes,gears all worked perfectly.

Our guide, Tam, was fantastic. We hadn’t initially realized the tour included a three-hour bike ride, but Tam set us up with high-quality bikes, making the ride smooth and enjoyable. Tam is sweet and kind, comfortable biking quietly so we could take in the scenery, but always ready to share his love for the country and stories if you’re interested. The route itself was easy and a perfect way to see the countryside and towns beyond the typical tourist spots in Hoi An. You truly get a sense of how people live there. Tam provided water and bananas along the way, happily stopping for breaks, photos, and even brief lessons on things we passed. After the ride and a coffee break, we took a bus to My Son Sanctuary. You could tell Tam is genuinely passionate about history; he shared insights that really brought the place to life. His English was excellent, so he was always easy to understand. At the end, he took us to a fantastic food spot before dropping us off exactly where we needed to go. Overall, it was an amazing day, and Tam was a wonderful guide!

This tour was absolutely amazing! Though My Son sanctuary is the final destination if you love cycling this is a great way to explore the countryside and local villages around Hoi An. My guide Hoàn was extremely knowledgeable about both the local area and the history. The terrain is mostly flat but you need to have a medium- experienced level of fitness due to the heat it’s 28 km. Highly recommended

This tour was excellent. The guide (Kay) was knowledgeable and extremely friendly. The tour consisted of a gentle cycle ride through vietnamese countryside, with frequent stops for water, drinks, and fruit. A mini bus then picks you up and takes you the rest of the way to My Son. My Son is well worth seeing, but a guide (like on this tour) is a must. The ruins wouldn't mean much if you didn't have a guide (particulaly if you were like us who hadnt dine extensiove background research on the hietory of the ruins, their discovery, and the general cham culture. In a nutshell, the trip was well worth it if staying in the Hoi An area if you want a mix of history, culture, and gentle cycling combined. It makes for an enjoyable day out.

We had an incredible experience with Hoàn! It was just two of us and since we are seasoned cyclist we took some detours which really added to our experience. I learned so much about Vietnamese culture, plants and the language. It was hands down the best part of our trip!

Love this tour! Our host Tom was brilliant and accommodated us & our daughter well. The bikes were very well maintained, with working gears, helmets and far exceeded any other bikes we used on our tours. The countryside was so interesting, riding through the local villages. My Son is definitely worth the effort!! Lunch on the return trip was delicious!!! Thank you Tom, one of our highlights of our time in Vietnam!

An amazing tour with Tam, who was so knowledgeable, caring and patient with us during the entire trip. Despite not being avid cyclists, this is a wonderful way to see this beautiful region of Vietnam and then to visit the Sanctuary and listen to the history from Tam, made for an unbelievable experience. Highly recommend this with Tam! Bob Rajan (Munich, Germany)

I hesitated booking this experience because it is something I wouldn’t normally do, but I am so glad I did! What an incredible experience! Huy was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. The heat was a bit intense, so I suggest bringing extra water if possible and plenty of sunscreen. I also chose to wear a cycling chamois which I would recommend for those who are not consistent with cycling. We did stop along the way for an electrolyte drink and bananas which helped. The ride was pretty flat and mellow, which allowed me to really take in the sights. This was by far one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had, and I will always remember it. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a different type of adventure and an opportunity to see a bit of real life in Vietnam.

Ky was a great guide. One of the highlights of our trips in Vietnam was biking through countryside seeing a side of Vietnam that is not easily seen in the cities or resorts. We had a great day and would highly recommend this tour.

What a great trip! We both enjoyed our 40km ride, and the chicken noodles were amazing for lunch! Thank you for your explanations at the unisco site, was very insightful and we learned alot about the local culture. Highly recommend!!
