We will never forget this night! - Our tour trip to Hoi An with Mr. Tran was unforgettable. I can't express how special of a place this was. Mr. Tran shared so much about Vietnam and Hoi An. We were taken to a few shops, and these are the places you want to patronize, as their goods are made from the true craftsmen and women in the trades that are so unique to Vietnam. The mixed architecture and lights were so beautiful, and the boat ride was so special as well. How lucky our family is to be forever changed by this beautiful country.

Always better with a knowledgeable local guide! - Hoi An is a charming and historic destination, with everything from the usual touristy boat rides and cheap souvenirs to amazingly affordable and very high quality works of art, leather and clothing (often quickly made to order). Our guide, Dan, felt like family by the end of the evening and seemed to enjoy sharing her country’s history and customs. Highly recommended for those who want a glimpse into Vietnam’s ancient past!

Hidden gems - delicious soups on side streets - Visiting Hoi An is not complete without riding a lantern Sampan boat down the Hoai River and releasing a paper lit candle to release worry and bad luck and make a wish for love and good health🥰🥰🥰❤️💕♥️ Our tour guide took us on side streets where hidden authentic Chinese and Vietnamese made delicious soups. The food was delicious although some of the broth ended up on my blouse😋🤪. No problem, I wore my shirt backward for the rest of our tour.

Must do tour - This was an amazing tour with our own private tour guide Vân. We couldn’t have done it without her. She had so much knowledge to share and was so passionate about her home place. She became our photographer for the day, made restaurant recommendations and bookings for us. The ancient town is a must see but better with a tour guide who can tell you so much about it. The lantern river experience is a must / it’s so romantic and magical to see all the boats and the beautiful colours along the river. I am so glad I booked this tour and would 100% recommend.

Hoi An exceeded our expectations. - We had a wonderful tour of Hoi An with our guide Vân. The city’s beauty exceeded our expectations. It’s really stunning. With that beauty, however, there were a lot of other people who wanted to see it and it got very crowded as evening approached. As the city filled up with people, Vân kept us one step ahead of the crowds. She knew right when to get us on the boat to avoid long lines. We waited only a few minutes to get on the boat, but there were super long lines waiting when we got off. She was extremely nice and really helped us to understand Hoi An and the local people and culture with stories of her childhood in Hoi An. We were very glad to have her as our guide. We highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to visit Hoi An for the first time.
