“Overall very good. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. My Son is a place definitely worth seeing. The trip ended with a short, but nice boat ride and a delicious local sandwich (bah mi). We took an afternoon trip and we feel it was a right choice as My Son look even more beautiful in a sunset.”

2.Hoi An Lantern Boat Ride on the Thu Bon River

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 169 reviews · 20 min · from $8Best value

Sail on the Thu Bon at night, release a flower lantern for luck, and take glowing Old Town photos on a calm wooden boat ride.

“The booking team were excellent, clear, flexible, and professional. Sadly, the actual boat ride was ruined by the operator, who was loud, rude, and aggressive. He screeched at us, made a huge fuss over nothing, took our phone to “help” with photos but deliberately took blurry, creepy shots, then shooed us away when we said thank you. Left us feeling gross and upset instead of magical, avoid.”

5.Private Lantern Cruise on the Thu Bon River

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 6 reviews · 1 hour · from $10

A private 45-minute lantern cruise on the Thu Bon River in Hoi An, passing key bridges, markets, and setting your lotus lantern wish.

“Avevamo appuntamento alle 17,25 in un punto ben definito che mi aveva inviato via whattsapp ma all'arrivo non c'era nessuno o perlomeno nessuno che ha evidenziato il nostro appuntamento. Ho dovuto andare avanti e indietro piu volte a chiedere chi conosceva il capitano indicato nel voucher. Per merito di una commerciante del luogo, che si è meritata una mancia abbiamo individuato il capitano, che, convinto lo conoscessimo non aveva tirato su il cartello con il mio nome e mai lo avremmo trovato. In sostanza con 15 minuti di ritardo siamo felicemente partiti. Sicuramente una volta presa la barca è stato tutto bello. Da consigliare sicuramente il tour privato. Magari fate…”
