After a 45-minute transfer by minibus, cross Thu Bon River by local ferry to a small village near the My Son sanctuary. Your bicycle tour of the authentic Vietnam begins here. Together with your group and guide, travel across immense rice fields set in between the river and the mountains where the Vietnamese in their traditional conical hats, continue to cultivate rice using the same methods as their ancestors did hundreds of years ago. Discover local handicrafts, learn the secret of making incense, weaving methods that date back to colonial times, including the weaving of linen. A local village family will welcome you to share their tea and visit their home, a traditional wooden structure. You will have the opportunity to learn the local history and customs of the countryside, where life is far from the bustling cities and sights. This tour, far from the usual tourist itineraries, puts you in direct contact with the Vietnamese people. You will take the time to meet these welcoming people, and share unique moments. Stops vary from tour to tour, depending on chance meetings and village activities.
