Xin chào! We are passionate local guides born in the ancient town of Hoi An. With a deep love for our hometown’s heritage and hidden corners, we offer authentic tours that go beyond the guidebooks. Let us be your companion to discover the real Hoi An with its stories and tastes. Let’s wander together.
Your journey begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel with an electric shuttle and great for taking videos of the city sights. Upon arrival in the Ancient Town, we will provide a brief overview of Hoi An’s history and beauty, followed by a guided exploration. As you walk through these golden-walled alleys, we will reveal the stories behind the Japanese Covered Bridge, the centuries-old Duc An Family House, Kazik Park and the majestic Fujian Assembly Hall. Furthermore, we can feel the pulse of the city at Hoai river where colors and aromas bring the history of this former trading port to life.
After discovering the town’s architectural gems, it’s time to connect with its cultural heart. Hoi An’s lanterns are more than just decorations. They are symbols of the town’s diverse heritage and bustling maritime past.
In a traditional workshop, you will meet skilled artisans who will guide you through the delicate process of making a silk lantern. From choosing the fabric to shaping the frame, you’ll experience the meditative joy of this local craft. Especially, there is no better souvenir than one you’ve created yourself. At the end, you’ll fold up your handmade lantern to take home for memories. What a glowing reminder of your time in the “City of Lights.” After that, you are free to stay in the Old Town to explore shops and restaurants, or return to your hotel as you wish.
