I thought this was a great tour. Our guide was informative and the schedule was really good. I never felt like I was waiting around or rushed and we had just the right amount of free time to take pictures. The lunch was good too. I thought it was an excellent value for the price.

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.
