Had an amazing time. The Coconut Forest was fun, Hoi An was absolutely beautiful, and the lantern release made the evening enjoyable. Everything was well organized, and our guide was friendly, helpful, and informative. Bring your walking shoes because it is a lot of walking and historical sightseeing but definitely worth it. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful day on our afternoon trip to Hoi An. Our guide, Khanh, was very kind, helpful and professional. We were picked up on time, had a comfortable van with air conditioning, cold water, nice boat trips and a good dinner. We enjoyed the ride with the boat through the coconut forest and a wooden boat cruise on the Hoai River on the evening. We highly recommend this tour!

We had the best guide, Sam, for our tour in Hoi An. He enlightened the tour with his beaming smile, hospitality, professional guidance, and considerate arrangements. We took the basket coconut boat and the night boat for releasing latterns. These are unforgettable experience and memories for us. We thank Sam for bringing us the best day in Vietnam.
