Full description

Your unforgettable journey begins in the afternoon as our guide picks you up from your hotel in Hoi An or nearby areas. Get ready to explore one of Vietnam’s most enchanting destinations, where history, culture, and romance blend beautifully.

Begin with a walking tour through the charming streets of Hoi An Ancient Town. Once a bustling trading port from the 15th to the 19th century, Hoi An has preserved its unique blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese architecture.

Visit the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge, a timeless symbol of the town. Continue to explore ancient merchant houses such as Tan Ky Old House, where you’ll discover stories of generations who lived and traded there. Stop at a traditional Assembly Hall, beautifully decorated and rich in cultural significance.

As the sun begins to set, the town transforms into a glowing wonderland. Lanterns illuminate every street, creating the romantic and magical atmosphere for which Hoi An is famous. Take time to wander through the lantern-filled streets, capture stunning photos, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

One of the tour’s most memorable moments is releasing your own floating lantern on the Hoai River. As your lantern drifts gently across the water, make a wish and experience a beautiful local tradition believed to bring good luck and happiness. The shimmering reflections of hundreds of lanterns create an unforgettable sight.

Afterward, enjoy some free time for dinner (optional or at your own expense, depending on your selected package), where you can sample local specialties or simply relax before the evening’s main event.

The journey continues with the breathtaking Hoi An Memories Show, one of Vietnam’s most spectacular live performances. Staged on a massive outdoor theater with more than 500 performers, the show vividly recreates over 400 years of Hoi An’s history.

Through traditional music, elegant choreography, colorful costumes, and state-of-the-art lighting effects, the performance tells moving stories of love, culture, and Hoi An’s rise as a prosperous international trading port. Every scene is carefully designed to immerse you in the spirit of Vietnam.

After the show, your guide will accompany you back to your hotel, concluding a magical evening filled with culture, romance, and unforgettable memories.
