Hoi An ancient
Unfortunately this tour did not meet our expectations. Our guide’s English, who went by Simon, was not good so it was very hard to understand. The bigger issue was that he got into talking a lot about his family and personal viewpoints. For example he laid out tour and specifically said we needed to be at the theater by a certain time to get seats, but due to his rambling on about personal stuff we did not only didn’t get a seat the performance had started. We left it before it was over due to having to stand and look over people. He knew his information about the history but needs to not digress into personal information.

Great Evening in Hoi An
We had a wonderful afternoon and evening in Hoi An with Mr.Tuan, our guide. We visited at the tail end of Lunar New Year and the ancient town was jam-packed with people, more so than usual according to our guide. Despite this,he kept track of us and accommodated our requests for taking photos, shopping, stopping for a drink, etc. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about Hoi An. The boat ride at night on the river with all the lanterns was truly special. A worthwhile tour!

Great way to see all the best of Hoi Ann and great tour company
My wife and I really enjoyed our tour, and this was a fantastic way to see all Hoi Ann has to offer. You get to see everything in the old town during the day, and the night market and wonderful lanterns as it gets dark. Our tour guide was really great, and even though it was very crowded he managed to get us around everything in good time. He was also really knowledgeable and answered all of our questions, as well as taking us to a place where I was keen to go for dinner. The boat trip was extremely relaxing and nice too.

Hoi An Ancient Town -Walking Tour,Lantern Boat Ride, Night Market: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Da Nang.
How much does Hoi An Ancient Town -Walking Tour,Lantern Boat Ride, Night Market cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Da Nang 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 -Walking Tour,Lantern Boat Ride, Night Market take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Da Nang is not rushed.
Is Hoi An Ancient Town -Walking Tour,Lantern Boat Ride, Night Market worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Da Nang, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hoi An Ancient Town -Walking Tour,Lantern Boat Ride, Night Market?
+
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 -Walking Tour,Lantern Boat Ride, Night Market suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hoi An Ancient Town -Walking Tour,Lantern Boat Ride, Night Market?
+
Around 2 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 Da Nang 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 Da Nang and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hoi An Ancient Town -Walking Tour,Lantern Boat Ride, Night Market 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 Da Nang 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 Da Nang?
+
On Outty we rank every Da Nang experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Golden Bridge and Ba Na Hills Small Group Tour, Easy Rider Motorbike Tour via Hai Van Pass From DaNang/HoiAn/Hue, Linh Ung Pagoda - Marble Mountains - Hoi An Ancient Town Daily Ingroup Tour. 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 Da Nang?
+
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 Da Nang?
+
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.
