★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 35 reviews · from $39

Spend about five and a half hours exploring Hoi An’s Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese architecture with an English-speaking guide, then ride a bamboo basket boat in Cam Thanh Coconut village.

“Ours was a group of 11 people and as Hoi An was extremely busy with tourists, it was very difficult to hear what the guide had to say. On reflection I think a private tour might have been a better option. That having been said our guide was very good and knowledgeable. We decided not to go on the boat trip so cannot comment on that part of the tour.”
