A Real Surprise
Booked this tour to see something different as we were spending five days in Hoi An. Tour ended up just being the two of us as a large family group cancelled due to illness. I was impressed that it still ran. Our guide Milk was one of the best guides we have ever had. He was personable, possessed a wealth of information and was considerate and flexible. His English was excellent. The tour started at a marble shop and I was a bit concerned that it would turn into a forced shopping tour but I needn’t have worried. Once we got this “compulsory” stop out of the way the real tour starts. We visited the Marble Mountains which we knew nothing about. Inside the caves and caverns are temples with large carved Buddhas. Milk told us the history of the caves including their use during the Vietnam war. He strikes a good balance of giving you information and then letting you enjoy the sights. We were very impressed with the beauty of the temples and the use of the natural formation of the landscape. Next we visited Monkey Mountain. We did see a large number of monkeys on the drive up at a nice safe distance. Monkey Mountain has a statue of a large Buddha and beautiful bonsai gardens. We were there just on dark and the view of Danang was spectacular. It is a lot larger than we thought and probably well worth exploring on its own. We then moved on to our “light” dinner. It was a delicious noodle dish which was very filling. We finished this and then they brought out crispy pancake which you wrap in rice paper with herbs. Though already full we were making decent headway on this until they brought out the second one.I wish I could remember the name of the restaurant as the food was very good. As we were ahead of schedule and the Dragon Bridge only does its thing at 9pm [Sat and Sun only] Milk took us to the night markets. He waited at the entrance and gave us the opportunity to look around. The market was a local one not tourist with lots of fresh and cooked foods available. They were cooking lobster over charcoal and it looked incredible and was very cheap by our standards, 200,000dong for a medium lobster. We then moved on a good viewing spot of the Dragon Bridge. Couldn’t believe how popular it is with both locals and tourists. The dragon breathes fire in bursts for a while and then sprays water. Whole performance takes about 15 minutes. You don’t want to be in the path of the water as Milk believes it is drawn from the river which is not the cleanest. It is a bit touristy but I enjoyed it.. Overall this is one of the best tours we have done and I would like to thank Milk and his driver for making our evening so enjoyable. Well done Hoian Eco Coconut Tours.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lantern Making class with Ms. My in Local's Home: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Lantern Making class with Ms. My in Local's Home cost?
+
Prices start at $9 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 Lantern Making class with Ms. My in Local's Home take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Lantern Making class with Ms. My in Local's Home worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". 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 Lantern Making class with Ms. My in Local's Home?
+
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 Lantern Making class with Ms. My in Local's Home suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Lantern Making class with Ms. My in Local's Home?
+
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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lantern Making class with Ms. My in Local's Home 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 Hidden Gems in Rural Villages & River Islands PRIVATE TOUR, Coconut Jungle Eco & Hoi An City Tour With Boat Ride, Cooking Class Hoi An: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.
