The host is very knowledgeable and friendly and the driver is careful. The count boats were really good fun and Hoi An .. Well it's Hoi An and you must see it. The only problem we had was that my wife asked for a vegetarian dinner and was served an omelette with shrimps inside it .. More a problem with the restaurant rather than the tour.

It was a wonderful afternoon. Our tour Duyen Anh was knowledgeable about the history of Hoi An. She was very enthusiastic and we enjoyed our day in Hoi An and the Basket Boat tour very much! I would recommend this to anyone!

It was a rainy day but we still made it work and had so much fun. Ms. Chau was a great guide and very patient with us. She made sure to give us good recommendations for coffee and food and gave us enough time to explore the ancient town. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking to just see the town and get on the coconut ride but not for anyone who wants to spend significant time there. I felt the time we had there was good enough for us.

Started off in marble mountains for some culture and history. Anh our guide explained all of the different aspects of the mountains and religious history. Then on to coconut boats surreal but definitely worth the trip. On to Hoi an and the different aspects. Suddenly the rain came down and to say washed out was an understatement. Would recommend to anyone even the rain

What a fun day! Everything about this experience was excellent and the cherry on top was our guide Sky. He was beyond kind, very funny, and knowledgeable. My face hurt from laughing during the basket boat ride and Hoi An is absolutely adorable. It was nice to have a mix of guided/organized time and free time to explore.

Enjoyed all of the trip, could do with a little more extra free time in Hoi An, but managed to have ample time for each activity. Lovely and helpful tour guide Anh. Great afternoon/evening out.

The trip was well organised by the energetic and friendly Miss Banana, after touring the Coconut Forest in the basket boats we headed to Hoi An to tour the old town and watched the lantern boats spectacle as the sun set. We then enjoyed a varied Thai meal - a great packed tour, great photo opportunities too 👍

It was great, Miss Banana (our tourguide) was fun and cheerful and super energetic. She helped us by telling the realistic prices of tickets and souvenirs so we don’t get scammed. The transfer arrived in time, the basket boat tour was amazing. Hoi An was also very beautiful with all the lanterns and lights. The time flew in that town and I could have spent 2-2.5 hours of freetime there easily 1.5 hours wasn’t enough. I would recommend it though to anyone :))

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Hoi An. Dacotours confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover personal expense, dinner (if you choose the no-meal option) and pick up & drop off outside da nang city center. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
The Hoi An old town ticket (a small fee that covers five heritage houses or halls) is included when the listing says so; otherwise it is bought at the entrance and the guide explains which houses to use it on. The old town is closed to motorbikes for most of the day, and My Son is best at opening time before the tour buses.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
