Classic Hoi An

Today you'll begin your Hoi An trip, a real highlight of your Vietnam holiday. 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.

There is plenty to do during our Hoi An trip. You can get measured up for a suit, or rent yourself a pushbike and pedal around town, or past the paddy fields down to the sandy beach. Choose a spot under a thatched parasol with a book and some freshly sliced pineapple. At sunset, the local people flock to the beach to cool off and play some football after a long day at work.     

This 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 trip. 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. 

The afternoon is yours to spend as you please. You'll spend all three nights of you Hoi An trip in a comfortable, centrally located hotel in the historic centre of town. The hotel also has a very pleasant swimming pool and breakfast is included.
