Start your adventure at the Central Market, a lively spot filled with fresh produce, local fruits, and essential goods. Enjoy the most famous refreshing local herbal drinks before heading to the picturesque Old Town. Stroll through its narrow streets, uncover hidden corners with moss-covered houses, ancient temples, and historic assembly halls. And the most important thing of the Journey - Don’t miss the chance to sail and release lanterns on the Hoai River during your stay in Hoi An Old Town. This enchanting experience not only showcases the beauty of local traditions but also carries deep spiritual significance for both locals and visitors. As you drift along the river, releasing your lantern into the water, you’ll be part of a time-honored ritual that symbolizes hope, peace, and good fortune.
Very nice tour. Tom our guide picked us up from our hotel and took us to the river. Boat ride was very beautiful and we saw alot of the old Town. Really enjoyed this tour.
This was a lovely experience with Tom as our guide. He was knowledgeable and efficient. We made our way through thick crowds, tried some delicious tea and got to cast our lanterns into the water on a beautiful boat ride. The tour of the markets was great and we got to learn about some of their traditions and food. Great experience and tour.
Our guide Tom was terrific. Really knowledgeable about the old town. Organised a lantern boat ride which was fantastic. Well worth the money.
Please consider this tour. It was quite an experience. The guide was very acknowledgeable and gave much of insight on the culture of Old Hoi An. He also embodied the spirit of the culture. You could tell he was a kind soul. The boat ride and lantern release was spectacular. Seeing all the colorful lanterns was quite the view. You won’t regret it.
Tom was great, collected us from our hotel then we walked into town. It was so much fun having a local with us as we didn’t have to wait in line. He was very knowledgeable of the area and Hoi An. He made it enjoyable for us. We went on the boats and released our lantern and made a wish! We made lanterns which was a super fun experience. It felt like our very own town tour. I recommend doing this at the start of your trip to get an understanding of the area and things to do. Would highly recommend again!
We loved this tour with excellent English speaking tour guide Tom. From start to finish he thoughtfully guided us along, explaining things as we went, and happily stopping for photos when we requested. We would highly recommend this beautiful river and night market tour to others.
Fun boat ride and releasing a lantern into the river. So colorful with all the different lanterns lighting up the river.
Nice easy evening tour in the old city in Hou an. Tom took us to a different areas of the old city which otherwise we wouldn’t know.
We had a wonderful experience on the Hoi An Night Market and Lantern Floating Tour. The atmosphere was magical — from the colourful lantern-lined streets to the peaceful boat ride down the river. Our guide, Tom, was absolutely excellent. He explained his hometown with so much passion, sharing insightful stories and making the whole experience feel meaningful and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hoi An!
Thom fit a lot into the short time we had, and even took us into some ‘locals only’ areas. Sunset, full moon (perfect timing) and lantern lighting was very beautiful
Tom was awesome. My husband and I had a wonderful time. Was colourful and explored heaps of wonderful places in the old town. Would recommend this tour.
The Hoi An boat ride, lantern release, and night market tour was a lovely way to see the city at night. The lanterns on the river were beautiful and the market was lively. The experience was enjoyable and relaxing, and we appreciated having someone to help us navigate the evening.
We thoroughly enjoyed the Hoi An Boat Ride, Lantern Release and Night Market tour. Our guide Tom, was incredibly knowledgeable about the local area and spoke excellent English. The boat ride and lantern release were truly beautiful experiences—peaceful, memorable and full of charm. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hoi An.
Tour guide was very friendly and made our visit very interesting and pleasurable. She was attentive to our interests and also made sure we got around safely, including getting us safely on and off the boat.
Tommy was an outstanding guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly easy to talk to. He walked us through the charming streets of Hoi An, sharing fascinating history and local insights along the way. He introduced us to some amazing street food and treated us to what might be the best tea we’ve ever had in Hoi An. The boat ride was a real highlight — peaceful and beautiful — and he even included floating lanterns for us to release into the river, which made the experience feel magical. Tommy was thoughtful, well-prepared, and clearly passionate about his hometown. We felt like we were exploring Hoi An with a local friend, not just a guide. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable experience in Hoi An.
Our driver/guide Chien was excellent! Fluent in English he was very courteous, helpful and interesting with a great sense of humour. Got us in stitches many times 😂. Seamless, well organise afternoon and evening in gorgeous Hoi An. He waited for us to wander the streets at leisure and have dinner before taking us back to our hotel. Do yourself a favour, nothing beats local knowledge instead of fumbling your way thru a plethora of options. As a result we’re are doing Bana Hills with him tomorrow. Thank you Chien, you made our trip memorable!
Our unforgettable night. Our great tour guide name Tom was amazing. He was knowledgeable, informative, well prepared and super friendly. He even tailored this tour following our request. strongly suggested!
I booked this activity but honestly you can create it for yourself ....what’s more the guide spoke of an approximate English so disappointed, and has a very strong pace , really high activity price so not top
