Full description

This is a 1.5-hour experience in Hoi An. It is run by Trace Travel Vietnam, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Japanese craft classes are taught by practitioners who have usually done the craft for decades, and they teach it properly: calligraphy begins with how to hold the brush and grind the ink; pottery on the wheel produces a cup that is fired and posted to you weeks later; ikebana teaches the three-line structure of a Sogetsu or Ikenobo arrangement; indigo dyeing and washi papermaking are done in the workshops of the towns that specialise in them. Classes run one to three hours, materials are included, and most welcome children with a parent.

The price covers Motorbike or scooter, Fuel for practice, Helmet, English-speaking instructor and Access to a spacious. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Trace Travel Vietnam sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Trace Travel Vietnam before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

All round a fantastic experience. I was fortunate enough to get a one on one lesson with Ha Tran, and he went above and beyond to help me. I came in with absolutely no experience and left feeling confident to start riding a scooter! Ha Tran is a wonderful teacher and lovely man, he even offered me a lift home as I was staying close to his office. Very helpful and kind. Thank you Ha Tran! 10/10 would recommend :)

Ha was such a lovely instructor! He explained everything very well and was very patient with my boyfriend and I as we had no previous experience riding motorbikes. He made us both feel comfortable and took things at our speed. We both now feel confident to practice on our own. Thank you Ha! ☺️

I had the best experience learning with Lee. I was very anxious about riding a scooter in Vietnam after having an accident in Bali. I’m also super short and can barely reach the ground with my tippy toes, so it made riding a scooter even more intimidating for me. But Lee helped me rebuild my confidence by taking everything step by step and progressing me at exactly the right pace. His coaching style was the perfect fit for me. He clearly explained and demonstrated each skill, was incredibly patient, and made sure I felt comfortable before moving on to the next step. His feedback was always pos

Excellent introduction to scooter riding! 1.5 hours of practice on empty roads doing various maneuvers (like circles and figure-eights) on a Shark 50cc. Instructor Lee was patient and gave great feedback. Ready for the city streets next!

Frequently Asked Questions

Trace Travel Vietnam sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The Hoi An old town ticket (a small fee that covers five heritage houses or halls) is included when the listing says so; otherwise it is bought at the entrance and the guide explains which houses to use it on. The old town is closed to motorbikes for most of the day, and My Son is best at opening time before the tour buses.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
