Things to do in Hoi An Ancient Town

experience: You won’t be confused and won’t be flocked by so many people becuase they have a buddy boat already waiting for you, they gave us a welcome cold tea drink and the boat driver is very lovely took a pic of us, even though its a short time only (15-20mins) we enjoyed our momen. I really recommend booking this!!!

Definitely the highlight of my trip! It was a 4 hour activity and every part of it was well worth it! We started with pickup at an agreed location (mine was Hoi An Post Office) where we met with the cheerful driver, then headed to the local market where we met our beautiful chef, Chef Lee. We roamed around the market where she introduced us to the different local produce, ingredients and how they are used in Vietnamese cooking. From there, we went to the cooking venue which was such a lovely and inviting place! We got to cook 4 different dishes and of course ate them afterward! I was so FULL!!! We then went on a coconot boat tour and tried crab fishing - although I was unsuccessful lol. Overall, this was easily the BEST activity I've had in Vietnam! Chef Lee was very accommodating and patient and helpful all throughout! For the price - it was a such a complete experience! Soooooo worth it!!! Definitely recommend this tour. :)

It was a nice experience going up and down the Marble Mountain. Our guide, Long, gave helpful tips. He was friendly and attentive of our needs. The Coconut Basket Boat ride was so much fun. The Ancient Town was just okay. The dinner we had at Blue Gecko was delicious.

Hoi An is great, attractions are easy to spot since there is map given at the ticketing booth. There is also a lot of shops and eateries around that you can visit

We had such a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Nam! He was incredibly friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire trip. He made sure we were comfortable, took us to the best spots, and shared so much interesting information along the way. What really stood out was how thoughtful and accommodating he was, especially when traveling with our family. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a fun, memorable, and stress-free experience, he even took good pictures of our family! We truly enjoyed every moment of the tour and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a great guide who genuinely cares about his guests! Thank you Nam for making our trip extra special! ❤️✨

An absolute highlight, just pay attention to the walking directions! I booked the "From Hoi An: Coconut Forest Basket Boat, Dinner & Lantern Release" experience and it was incredible. The basket boat ride was so much fun and dinner was great. Releasing the lanterns on the water at the end was truly magical. The only minor thing is that after dinner, they dropped us off near the lantern area but had to walk a bit and got a little lost. Better guiding or clearer directions for that specific transition would make this absolutely perfect. Still highly recommend!

Excellent half day tour at a fantastic price! My tour guide Lee was friendly and funny and had amazing knowledge of My Son (and Hoi An). My Son itself was so interesting; the traditional dance performance was wonderful; the homestyle lunch was delicious; and the boat ride back to Hoi An was relaxing and enjoyable. Driver arrived on time and was a very safe driver. Complementary water was provided. It is VERY hot in Hoi An this time of year (mid July), so be sure to bring hat, sunscreen, etc. Highly recommended tour!

Absolutely loved this tour! We visited Linh Ung Pagoda, Marble Mountain, and Hoi An Old Town, and everything was well-organized and enjoyable. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more memorable. Hoi An was especially beautiful in the evening, and ending the tour with a delicious dinner at Cham Cham was the perfect way to cap off the day. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Da Nang—great itinerary, great food, and an unforgettable experience!

I had a wonderful experience joining the Making Lantern Class with Lantern Boat Trip. The lantern-making workshop was fun, engaging, and easy to follow, even for beginners. The instructor was patient and explained each step clearly, allowing everyone to create their own beautiful handmade lantern. After the class, the lantern boat trip was truly magical. Cruising along the river while admiring the colorful lanterns reflecting on the water created a peaceful and unforgettable atmosphere. The view was especially stunning in the evening when the town lit up with hundreds of glowing lanterns. The combination of a cultural hands-on activity and a relaxing boat ride made this experience unique and memorable. It was a great way to learn about local traditions while enjoying the beauty of the city. I highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Hoi An, whether you're traveling with family, friends, or as a couple.
