What are people saying about Hoi An

Hoi An exceeded our expectations.
We had a wonderful tour of Hoi An with our guide Vân. The city’s beauty exceeded our expectations. It’s really stunning. With that beauty, however, there were a lot of other people who wanted to see it and it got very crowded as evening approached. As the city filled up with people, Vân kept us one step ahead of the crowds. She knew right when to get us on the boat to avoid long lines. We waited only a few minutes to get on the boat, but there were super long lines waiting when we got off. She was extremely nice and really helped us to understand Hoi An and the local people and culture with stories of her childhood in Hoi An. We were very glad to have her as our guide. We highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to visit Hoi An for the first time.

Brilliant tour with Thom
One of our best experiences in Vietnam. Totally loved the day and Thom is a brilliant and funny host. Had loads to eat and so glad we didn't have breakfast before. Lovely boat trip to start and end the tour also. Time went so fast and enjoyed meeting other travellers on the trip also. All round a brilliant day.

Tasty
Excellent cooking direction and assistance to produce a fun and quality meal. Hai was very attentive and keen for all to have a memorable experience. Boats were a pleasant addition to the main course with the market visit an informative lesson. Kitchen support staff very cheerful and attentive too.

An Adventure You will never forget it is very Memorable
This event you will not want it to end from start to finish, it seems that it was not long enough for me from the market to the boats it’s like having a big bash on the water. From there to the cooking class Tram is a great Chef and Host she takes her time with each student. Tram was very high vibes she’s funny overall I will do it again I recommend this is a must try it should be rated 100. Thanks Tram for a wonderful experience.

Hidden gems, great people and the best banh mi
We absolutely loved this behind the scenes food tour in Hoi An! It ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip.
What made it so special was how authentic it felt. We weren’t just walking around eating at obvious spots. Our guide brought us to true hidden gems we never would have found on our own, and every stop felt personal and intentional. We had the best banh mi of our trip here and we loved everything we tried!
It was also incredibly educational. Visiting the bean sprout farmers and seeing where the noodles are made was so interesting, and later eating dishes made with noodles from the very place we had just visited was such a cool full circle moment. It gave us a whole new appreciation for the food and the people behind it.
Beyond the food, the experience itself was just fun. Our guide Swan was great and we even made some new friends on the tour!
If you want to understand the culture behind Vietnamese food, this tour is absolutely worth doing. We would recommend it to anyone visiting Hoi An.

Great tour
This was a nice tour. Didn’t realize how amazing the Buddha statues are inside the caves at Marble mountain. Lots of stairs to climb to see everything. We had a couple of stops to see/sell marble carvings and silk production. We actually wound up buying a couple of framed embroidery pictures. The work they do is amazing. But there was no high pressure from either shop and we have come to expect it on tours. The boat ride in Hoi A was relaxing and Hoi An is beautiful but noisy with scooter horns and crowded.
Van was our guide. She did a great job of explaining the history and other pertinent information to us. This is a worthwhile tour.

Loved this!
We loved this tour!! Our guide Tim was friendly and knowledgeable sharing both history and stories of the culture of ancient town and taking us to several spots we would have never found on our own. Absolutely recommend this fun and unique experience!!

Excellent experience with Rin
I had an excellent experience with Rin. He is incredibly patient, professional, and very talented. He took so many beautiful photos at every location and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. He even helped by holding my bag, which really shows how thoughtful and supportive he is. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great photographer.

Give lantern making a go - you will be surprised
What a great time my daughter and I had makong lanterns on a cloudy afternoon. The team were very helpful and made us laugh at their critique of our amateur lantern making skills. They were also very quickly able to rectify our mistakes. We would definitely recommend this very reasonable priced activity.

Fantastic, Family Run Experience!
This was such a fun and wholesome coffee making class and great value for money (you make 5 coffees and get given a surprise gift at the end). The family who run the class are so lovely, knowledgable and funny - they made the class engaging and I would reccomend it to anyone visiting Hoi An.

A must go place with such an amazing guide
Amazing guide, amazing transport, good itinerary what to say a must visit place for all only with such an amazing guide who would be well aware of the entire history. The guide also saved my money because I took a ticket for my daughter which was to be for 30,000 VND while I paid 150,000 VND the. She made me realised my mistake and I got my money back. Just one thing that driver was rude he dropped me around 200 feet away from my hotel I told him to drop me 200 feet ahead but he told just get down here.
Anyways, a good trip overall thanks to Viator and the guide.

Hailed as one of the country’s culinary capitals, Hoi An is the ideal place to master the basics of Central Vietnam’s distinctive cuisine, which fuses Southeast Asian and French styles. Sure, you could just feast on bahn mi and cao lau—but cooking classes in Hoi An teach you traditional Vietnamese cooking techniques and offer more insight into the local culinary culture than you’d get from dining at a restaurant alone. These classes often include a visit to a local market, a tour of a farm, and even a ride in a basket boat, for the ultimate epicurean experience.
