    Stunning Hoi An!

    We were fortunate to be told of the wonderful services supplied by UpTravel before we left for our cruise to Vietnam and Thailand and we are so glad we discovered them. Prior to leaving home we booked two day tours - one for Hanoi and one for Hoi An and boat trip - with the lovely Hannah, via WhatsApp. Hannah was more than helpful - she was so friendly and always willing to answer any questions we had - including random ones about temperature, clothing restrictions etc! Each day we had a driver and an English speaking guide with our own private vehicle. Prior to visiting the city, we stopped to take a traditional boat trip through the coconut groves. This was such fun, beautiful scenery and alongside races down the river while watching the amazing 'dancers' as they twirled around their boats at alarming speeds - not for me but it was fantastic to watch! Celina, our guide for our Hoi An trip was a local of the town and it made all the difference as she shared her local knowledge and love of this beautiful city. Hoi An is simply breathtaking with amazing photo ops around every corner, it is stunning, vibrant and a complete joy. I could have happily spent much longer simply soaking up the sights. We had an amazing lunch in Grandma's Kitchen restaurant where our waiter, Viet, had a smile that lit up the day - he, and our lunch, was simply wonderful. We were delivered safely back to the ship by our charming driver and so ended another wonderful day in Vietnam. The value for money was great, the organisation faultless and the guides/drivers were everything we could have hoped for. Hannah then worked her magic for us once again. Having so enjoyed our two days with UpTravel, we decided to cancel our coach trip to Ho Chi Minh with the ship and booked another day trip with this amazing company. Hannah managed to arrange this for us very last minute which we greatly appreciated. I'm happy to write a separate review of our 3rd wonderful trip to Ho Chi Minh with UpTravel. They certainly made our time in their beautiful country extra special and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them in a heartbeat!

    Response from the operator: Wow, that's truly lovely to hear 🥰We’re so happy to hear that you had such an incredible time in Hoi An, and that UpTravel was able to help make your trip extra special! It’s wonderful to hear that Hannah was so helpful throughout your planning process and that she could answer all of your questions, even the random ones! We’re thrilled that Celina, as a local guide, was able to share her intimate knowledge and love for Hoi An with you. It really makes a difference to have someone who knows the town so well, and it’s great to know you loved the city as much as we do! The traditional boat trip and coconut grove adventure sound like such a fun experience, and we’re glad to hear that it made for such memorable moments. The lunch at Grandma's Kitchen with Viet’s smile sounds like the perfect cherry on top of your day! We appreciate your kind words about the value and organization of the trip. It’s always our goal to ensure that every moment is special for our guests. Thank you so much for your continued trust in UpTravel, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for even more unforgettable experiences in Vietnam!

    Fun and interesting day out

    Having discovered Up Travel through a Facebook group for the cruise we were taking we booked three tours through Lily (Linh Linh) - she was very responsive first through the Facebook group and then WhatsApp. Tours were a very good price. We did the Hoi An and baskets as a switch from a Bana Hills Tour, this was a group tour communications before and then on the day were great. Our lovely guide An was an absolute delight. Cam thanh baskets were a fun and enjoyable experience. Then off to Hoi An. We were able to witness silk being taken from silk worm cocoons, the ladies making the silk pictures were very talented and their work was available to buy at very reasonable prices. We visited Min thanh pagoda, an ancient business house and enjoyed a delicious multi course lunch. It was a very enjoyable and memorable day and we can highly recommend. An also sent us her own photos of the day which added to our wonderful memories. Lovely young lady.

    Hoi An Ancient Town & Cam Thanh Bastket Boat Shore Excursions: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.

    How much does Hoi An Ancient Town & Cam Thanh Bastket Boat Shore Excursions cost?

    +

    Prices start at $96 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hoi An usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Hoi An Ancient Town & Cam Thanh Bastket Boat Shore Excursions take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hoi An is not rushed.

    Is Hoi An Ancient Town & Cam Thanh Bastket Boat Shore Excursions worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hoi An, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Hoi An Ancient Town & Cam Thanh Bastket Boat Shore Excursions?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Hoi An Ancient Town & Cam Thanh Bastket Boat Shore Excursions suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hoi An Ancient Town & Cam Thanh Bastket Boat Shore Excursions?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hoi An can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hoi An and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hoi An Ancient Town & Cam Thanh Bastket Boat Shore Excursions start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hoi An within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Hoi An?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Hoi An experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hoi An Ancient Town Walking Tour with a Local, Cooking Class Hoi An:Local Market, Basket Boat, Fishing & Cooking, Hoi An Cooking Class(Local Market, Basket Boat,Fishing &Cooking). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Hoi An?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Hoi An?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
