Hoi An Lantern Alley Food and Story Walk
Full description
This is a 3-hour experience in Hoi An, built around Hoi An Ancient Town. It is run by JOYON SIGNATURE TOUR COMPANY, 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.
Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.
The price covers Pickup service 1 way, All listed food & drinks, local guide, Lantern release and Small group. It does not cover Gratuities, 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.
Hội An. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with JOYON SIGNATURE TOUR COMPANY before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Traveler Reviews
Terence was an exceptional guide who made our trip unforgettable! I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide. I was traveling with my three older sisters, who are prone to fatigue and have difficulty walking. Terence was incredibly understanding and promptly suggested taking breaks between restaurants. He even went the extra mile by hiring an electric taxi to ensure that we all had a comfortable and convenient ride. We sampled 8 local dishes and ended the meal with a cold refreshing ice tea from MOT. He also guided us in releasing our lanterns into th
My tour guide Cuong was amazing , he was so friendly, patient and polite. He took me around and explained everything in detail.
Highly recommend this tour- great food and great local stories. For the best of local Vietnamese food in alleyways you would never find, at places the local Vietnamese eat. A unique experience and insight to local knowledge and stories that you don’t want to miss. highly recommended.
It was amazing Tommy was a great guide and very knowledgeable
Terence is a wonderful guide and we were lucky to have him. Had some wonderful food in places that we would never have gone on our own and learned the history Absolutely value for money
Thien (Terrence) is a wonderful guide that won't let you finish the tour until your stomach is full! I had the pleasure of touring with him over many stops and enjoy such delicious foods while listening to the history and origins of each dish. The best food tour I had in Vietnam so far and that's not easy to say! Don't hesitate, hurry to book this tour!
It was such a good way of trying different local foods and having someone to guide you to the best spots was great! The food was delicious and our guide Terrence was great too he was funny and very helpful
Amazing tour with Terrance, the best guide ever! He takes you to all the hidden gems, to eat where locals eat, and makes it an unforgettable experience. Thank you!
My guide, Cuong, and his wonderful tour was my highlight of Hoi An! Interesting dishes with interesting stories behind them. My guide even helped me with a request outside of the tour itinerary, which I was very grateful for. He also takes the best photos and videos! Lots of wonderful little surprises throughout the tour. Don't miss this tour while in Hoi An, it will enrich your trip! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Terrence is my king of Hoi An, absolute legend with great knowledge of all the best food spots as well as some history of Hoi An. Made us feel like a local and gave us a night we won’t forget!
We had a fantastic time with Andy, our guide. He really made the tour great, speaks very good English and gave us information about Hoi An along with some great food. We had a really fun night, he kept us laughing and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Andy is the best!
Guide was the best! Many useful info, authentic dinners. He even sent me an extra magnet directly to my hotel!
