Hoi An Full-Day Private Vespa Tour Itinerary
Part 1: Hoi An Ancient Town to Cam Kim – From Heritage Streets to Village Roads
Your Vietnamese female Vespa driver picks you up from your hotel and begins the day through Hoi An Ancient Town.
Ride past the Japanese Covered Bridge, then leave the historic center through quieter streets toward the Thu Bon River.
As the old yellow buildings gradually disappear, the scenery changes to narrow village roads, gardens and agricultural land.

Ride slowly through the island’s small roads.
See traditional homes, family gardens, rice fields and local businesses.
Stop at a quiet riverside location for photographs.
Your guide explains how the Thu Bon River has connected Hoi An with surrounding villages for generations and how river transportation influenced the development of the region.
Enjoy a Vietnamese coffee at a small local café before continuing deeper into the countryside.
Part 2: Cam Kim & Thanh Dong – Rice Fields, Gardens & Everyday Village Life
Continue riding through Cam Kim toward the agricultural areas around Thanh Dong.
The Vespa is ideal for these smaller countryside roads, allowing you to experience the landscape at a relaxed pace.

Your guide introduces the seasonal rhythm of rural life and explains how agriculture remains connected to Hoi An’s restaurants and households.
Continue through small village lanes where homes sit close to gardens and fields.
