Hoi An Ancient Town
Hoi An, once a major Southeast Asian trading post in the 16th and 17th centuries, is basically a living museum that houses old-town architecture.Some notable heritage buildings include Chinese temples, a Japanese-designed bridge, pagodas, wooden shop-houses, French-colonial houses, and old canals. Although large-scale trading had long moved elsewhere, Hoi An has been successful in preserving and restoring its charming roots and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in December 1999. Hoi An is also known for its great food, fun shopping, skilled tailors, friendly people and cosy atmosphere – all key characteristics that draw people to this picturesque town.

Cam Thanh
Cam Thanh coconut forest tourist area is also famous as Hoi An coconut garden, Hoi An Cam Thanh forest or Hoi An Marble Cam Thanh coconut village. The tourist attraction of this place is the peaceful natural scenery from the lush green coconut forests. With clear water and river cruises with rustic basket boats. According to local people, Cam Thanh coconut forest existed about 200 years ago. At that time, migrants from the Southwest region brought water coconuts with them and planted them in this area. Especially with water and soil support, the trees gradually grow and develop into a large forest of about 7 acres (7 hectares). Thus, the name Cam Thanh coconut forest also comes from there (although currently the coconut forest has an area of up to 100 hectares). During the war, the coconut forest was an important revolutionary base that helped the Vietnamese army and people win many heroic battles. Today, take advantage of the natural beauty of the vast coconut forest.

Lovely tour and tour guide Thanh
Our tour guide Thanh was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Hoi An. He was very personable and patient with us two older ladies who walk a little slower. His English was very good and we had many nice conversations with him. The tour was great as we visited sites we would not have noticed on our own. We recommend Thanh and this tour.
Response from the operator: Dear Irene, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that Thanh took great care of you and shared his knowledge about Hoi An’s history and architecture so well. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the slower pace and had meaningful conversations with him. We’re glad the tour allowed you to discover hidden gems you might have missed otherwise. Your recommendation means a lot to us! Wishing you all the best and hoping to welcome you back on another adventure soon. Warm regards, The TTP Henry Travel Hoi An Team

Nice overview of Old City Hoi An
Henry is a knowledgeable tour guide and speaks English very well. His tour of Hoi An took us to places we otherwise would not have seen. It is an excellent overview to a beautiful and historic city. I'm not sure if it is his personality or his dry sense of humor, but he comes off as a little less engaging than other tour guides we've had in Vietnam. He certainly knows his stuff, but answers to questions seem very business-like as in "just the facts, ma'am," and less as chatty tour guide.
Response from the operator: Dear Dara, We are glad to know that you enjoyed the wonderful tour with TTP Henry Travel Hoi An. And thank you very much for taking your time to write the review on our page. We do hope that you all are well there and let’s have a chance to welcome you and your friends next visits.

Didn't feel like it
Guess our guide didn’t feel like it at all, walked around a bit bored and told us about the sights in Hoi An. We had the feeling that we had ruined his Saturday off pretty bad. He was certainly not unkind and really told me something but that was it. The best thing we learned was his tip for restaurant Cargo!
Response from the operator: Dear Mansveld, Thanks for taking your time for the review. Regarding the Hoi An City tour, we will show you the historical sites as below: - The Chinese Assembly Hall - The Ancient House in Hoi An - The Japanese Covered bridge - The traditional performance - The Hoi An Folklore Museum - The handicraft workshop, local market The tour guide handled this tour is one of our best English speaking tour guide . Perhaps there are some misunderstandings here. Please contact us if you have any concerns and have a good holiday a head! Best regards, Henry

Family Tour of Hoi An
The tour by Henry was fascinating. He gave us a tour of Hoi An ranging from temples and the Japanese Bridge, to the food market and the best coconut coffee in town. His historical knowledge of Vietnam, and most places in general, is amazing. We took breaks when we needed, had a few local snacks and had a great time. He was friendly, informative and I highly recommend you take a tour with him!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private tour Hoi An Coconut basket boat ride and Ancient town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Private tour Hoi An Coconut basket boat ride and Ancient town cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Private tour Hoi An Coconut basket boat ride and Ancient town take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Private tour Hoi An Coconut basket boat ride and Ancient town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 7 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 Private tour Hoi An Coconut basket boat ride and Ancient town?
+
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 Private tour Hoi An Coconut basket boat ride and Ancient town suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private tour Hoi An Coconut basket boat ride and Ancient town?
+
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 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private tour Hoi An Coconut basket boat ride and Ancient town 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.
