Da Nang & Hoi An tour overview
Why this trip
- Half a day in Hoi An old town wearing the ao dai, the long Vietnamese dress.
- A walk through the old streets, past the Japanese Covered Bridge and the merchant houses.
- A lantern workshop where you build a silk lantern to take home.
- Your own guide, who also knows which corners make the best photographs.
An honest note: the old town is at its busiest from late afternoon, when the lanterns come on. Photographs are easier in the morning.
