Hoi An Cultural Ghost Tour - This Ghost tour is a must for anyone visiting Hoi An! Not only did we get to see some cool back alley parts of Hoi An, but our tour guide, Huyen, kindly explained in-depth local and national beliefs and death traditions through her own experiences and those of her family and community, making the tour feel extra special. Additionally, Huyen is interested in learning about other countries’ superstitions and traditions, which helped everyone on the tour relax and get involved. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great Walking tour - This was a great tour to get to know Hoi An and its culture. This is not your typical ghost tour but more on the history of Hoi An which we did not mind. We enjoyed Vy showing us the historic spots. She was awesome. Also, be prepared to walk.

Unique + interesting tour - What a great tour with Annie! She was very knowledgeable and gave the group great insights on the history of the area. It's less a 'ghost' tour and more about customs, culture and history which we really enjoyed! Highly recommended.

Unique Tour - This was a very unique tour. Trân took us through so much niche history. She asked us if we had any areas of special interest and she tried to tailor the tour to cover those areas. It's nice to get away from the 'copy and paste' tours that you see elsewhere in the town. it's very different and gives insight into the real life in Hoi An. Also, our guide was super friendly. We recommend it!
