Full description

This is a 3-hour experience in Hoi An, built around Hoi An Market, Ong Pagoda - Chùa Ông and Fujian Assembly Hall. It is run by Golden Bridge Trip, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Pickup is offered from Hội An, Hội An and Da Nang; the exact spot and time are agreed with Golden Bridge Trip once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.

The price covers Air-conditioned vehicle, Bottled water, Light dinner at local restaurant, Boat ride on Thu Bu river and English or French speaking guide. It does not cover Personal expenses, Travel insurance and Tips for guide and driver, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Golden Bridge Trip sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Golden Bridge Trip before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Golden Bridge Trip sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The price does not cover personal expenses, travel insurance and tips for guide and driver. 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.
