Da Nang & Hoi An tour overview

Why this trip

  • My Son in the morning with a guide, the Cham temple valley an hour from Hoi An, and an Apsara dance performance.
  • Lunch at a local house, then back to Hoi An by boat on the Thu Bon River.
  • An hour to rest at your hotel or a cafe, then the Old Town on foot with its merchant houses and the Japanese Covered Bridge.
  • Dinner of Hoi An dishes and a paper lantern set on the Hoai River.

An honest note: the midday break is only about an hour, and My Son is hot by late morning. The Old Town is crowded at lantern time most evenings.
