Hoi An City tour 4 hours - My hotel was a bit away from the centre of Hoi An and the tour guide Kim kindly booked a taxi for me to meet her at the Be Be place,and dropped me back to the hotel. I was the only one on the tour that day so I was lucky to get to hear most of the information about the places and areas, Kim is a lovely tour guide she is very knowledgeable, we visited temples, old wooden house, tasted local teas, Japanese bridge, had nice river boat ride and saw old pottery/ceramic place, you can also see the fishing area, if you need cheaper accommodation look up The Lucky Leaf, I also got a delicious lunch by the river with spring rolls, tofu & veg, (also meat dishes available),and cheap drinks, everyone was friendly, see Hoi An it's a beautiful place. I booked from uk via Viator, tour company Dragon Travel Viet., will post photos later as on my camera SD card.
