Hoi An · HISTORICAL TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 historical tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Spend about an hour in a private electric car with HoiAnGO, tracing Hoi An’s riverfront, yellow houses, islands, an ancient home, and photo stops. Driver-guide Tin is praised for giving first-day orientation, with flexible stops for photos and a close look at local life.
“Wonderful orientation around Hoi An on our first day. All the main sights covered and Tin was an amazing guide.”
At Green Mango in Hoi An’s old town, you’ll learn Vietnamese cooking in a 180-year-old heritage-listed restaurant. Choose from five menus, cook with chefs such as Pinky, Que, or Jam, then sit down to eat your five-course meal. A local market visit is available as an add-on.
“It was our first asian cooking class and didn’t know what to expect. We had Pinky as the head chef. She was fun, entertaining and good but it was very ‘chop chop’. We would have preferred to have more explanation as to why we use Read more”
From Hoi An or Da Nang, visit the narrow Ky Anh Tunnel with a local war witness, Chien Dan Cham Tower, and Vietnam’s largest Heroic Mother Statue. Expect private transport, entrance fees, water, and a morning sticky-rice snack. The tunnel is cramped and not suitable for people with heart or high blood pressure.
“Amazing opportunity to meet a vietnam war veteran and go in the tunnels however other larger groups can make it difficult to be included - as a family of four, we found the other much larger group dominated space and asked so many Read more”
Travel from Da Nang to Hoi An for a five-hour guided walk through the Old Town. With an English-speaking guide such as Hung, you’ll visit the market, Fujian Assembly Hall, folk museum, Tan Ky House, and Japanese Covered Bridge. Private groups and other languages are available for an added fee.
“We had a very nice trip with Hung. He is a very talented young guide. We had so much fun on our tour!!”
Pick a boat, a kitchen or a road out of town.
