Fun Way to See Old Town - This was my 4th time in Hoi An, so I was looking for something new to do. I had great fun with tour guide, Sanh. He is super enthusiastic about these interesting and spooky tidbits of Hoi An history. If you're into the paranormal and 'piercing the veil', this is a fun one. Expect a stroll about old town to different spots with accompanying storytelling. Creepy and eerie, but not scary or frightening!

A great experience - We really enjoyed this - including the two boys aged 7 and 8. It wasn’t too scary but was a really interesting walk and talk about the cultural, historical and spiritual customs of Vietnam. Great to find something unusual. The Vietnamese year character traits were a bit mind blowing.

Unforgettable Evening of Hoi An’s Ghostly Legends with an Enthusiastic Guide - My experience with the Hoi An Ghosts & Death Mystery Unveiled tour was truly memorable, thanks to our guide, Kun, who made the evening fascinating and engaging. Her enthusiasm brought the mysteries of Hoi An’s death practices and ghostly legends to life. She shared not only detailed historical and cultural insights but also her own personal anecdotes, which added an intimate and authentic touch to the experience. Kun’s storytelling had a captivating quality that made the tour both informative and thrilling, especially as we learned about local beliefs on wandering spirits and the rituals associated with them. She made sure everyone was comfortable and encouraged us to ask questions, creating a warm and welcoming environment. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the deeper cultural traditions and eerie folklore of Hoi An. It was a unique way to understand the city beyond its beautiful streets and lanterns. Thank you, Kun, for such an unforgettable journey into Hoi An’s mysteries!
