Classic Hoi AnHoi An is a must-see trip for travellers in Vietnam. It is well known for its excellent tailors, its art galleries, and its narrow streets crammed with tiny wooden cafes serving steaming coffee. Centuries ago Chinese traders came to offer their goods here and the charm of the town is still completely undeniable. The only danger is that you may not want to leave! There's plenty to do during our Hoi An tour. You can take a bike ride past the rice paddies to a quiet palm-fringed beach nearby, arrange a trip to the historic temple complex of My Son, or lazily browse the streets looking for a friendly tailor to sew your made-to-measure outfit. We can also offer a Vietnamese cookery lesson with fresh local ingredients. |

It is popular with backpackers, attracted by the wide range of quirky restaurants and cafes, the inexpensive tailors, and the lovely nearby beach. The intriguing ancient monuments in Hoi An are not so well known, but well worth a visit. In the old town, you can buy a ticket that gives you access to the famous Japanese Bridge, the old trading houses and small museums. |

Day 2: Free timeToday, there's nothing on your Hoi An tour agenda, so you're free to wander lazily through the tiny streets of Hoi An. If you're feeling adventurous you can arrange a trip to the historical site of My Son. Despite American bombardment, the temple complex at My Son has been well preserved. The area was the most important religious and intellectual centre in Vietnam until the 13th century and the temples are fascinating buildings to explore. Nowadays, My Son is a UNESCO World Heritage site, lying about 40km southwest of Hoi An in a wild, green valley.If you'd like us to add this to your Hoi An tour in advance, please just let us know and we'll amend the cost accordingly.Hoi An is jam-packed with tailors and you can have a good made-to-measure suit made for under £20. However this is also the best place to purchase dresses, trousers, shirts etc. The perfect opportunity to update your wardrobe! |
Day 3: Optional cooking lesson or free timeThis is essentially a free day, so you can stay in the old town of Hoi An or head for the beach for some sun-kissed relaxation. However, we can also offer you the opportunity to whip up some authentic Vietnamese dishes in the kitchen during your Hoi An tour. If you choose this option you'll be collected from your hotel and taken to the colourful Hoi An cookery school for your lesson. During your class you’ll hear all about typical Vietnamese dishes and then have a go at preparing your own lunch. |
