Get to know the art of silk working as you explore one of Hoi An's famous craft villages on this bicycle tour through the historic city. Along the way, you get a chance to see the life cycle of silkworms and watch expert crafters transform their cocoons into incredible clothing.

The tour starts when you meet your guide and bike out from your hotel to visit the Hoi An Silk Village. You're greeted with a welcome drink and an overview of the community's history, and then you can visit a Quang Nam-style house to learn the storey of Lady Doan Thi Ngoc, founder of the local sericulture craft.

Once you've had a chance to admire the Vietnamese ao dai, with dresses from the country's 54 ethnic groups, and pick mulberry leaves at a traditional Champa garden, your guide shows you the silkworm breeding house. Learn to feed and nurture the silkworms, get a first-hand look at their cocoon-weaving process, and discover the techniques used to unravel the cocoons for their silk.

Your time here gives you an in-depth look at the craftwork that goes into Champa textiles, as you watch the work and learn to tell the difference between true and artificial silk. Relax with a sumptuous buffet offering 50 different dishes in the mulberry garden and try your hand at making a traditional lantern before the time comes to cycle back to your hotel.
