Truly magical and memorablevishwap975
Our experience exploring Hoi An at night and enjoying the coconut basket boat ride was truly fantastic and unforgettable. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
A special mention to our guide, Duyen, who was absolutely wonderful throughout the trip. She was extremely helpful, supportive, cheerful, and interactive. Her jolly nature and enthusiasm made the entire experience even more enjoyable. She also took the time to understand our food preferences and thoughtfully arranged meals accordingly, which we really appreciated.
Thank you, Duyen, for making this trip so memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting!

Fantastic Experience, Loved the Basket Boat RideV2891WVandrewk
Oct 30, 2026, 10:41:46 AM The experience was fantastic thanks to our wonderful tour guide, Chau. She was awesome. My wife and I didn’t quite care for the free dinner, but the basket boat ride and Hoi A were highlights of our trip to Vietnam. There were also kids on the trip with their parents and they had plenty of fun. There were swings and a mascot, plus plenty of karaoke on the water that made it fun for everyone. 10/10 would recommend.
pleasant trip to the coconut forestvalr958
It was a very amusing experience. The boat ride was under the rain which felt even nicer, as it wasn’t that hot. We had enough time to experience the night old town Hoi An on our own. Our tour guide Thao was very supportive and caring.

Susan was a fantastic guide, and had extensive knowledge of the events and sites seen along the itinerary. Susan’s English was excellent, and she had a great impact on my experience in this tour. I’ve been on several tours in Vietnam, and Susan is easily the top guide that I’ve had so far. If possible, book a tour with Susan.
Basket Boats & Hoi An by NightWendy A
This tour was great. The Basket Boats were a lot of fun. Hoi An is so beautiful, especially at night, the town comes alive in colour. But beware it is very busy. We had a traditional dinner with our group, which was delicious. DacoTours organised our pick-up in Hoi An for an additional USD10. But the best part was our guide Candy. She was very knowledgeable and had a lovely personality ♡
