This tour was a little hard to truly review as the weather was against us for most of the tour. We enjoyed the coconut boat ride but chose not to do the spin boats. Our guide did let us know prior that there would be an extra cost if we chose to, so there were no surprises for the guests that did. We were taken to a shop that did silk artwork (which was truly amazing) but also took us to a tailor .. which I don't think should be included on a tour. We were taken to what was apparently a traditional performance ... this was ordinary also. The lantern boat ride was short but enough. Dinner was fine. As it was raining quite hard, we decided not to explore in the additional 30 minutes we had. Our tour guide wasn't really a guide, but more a person who dropped us at different locations. When we got back on the bus, the back seats were folded up and then wouldn't fold back properly. The bus driver wasn't overly interested in fixing it properly. The back of the bus also leaked rain.

we loved the coconut boats, paddler was funny and accommodating, even spun the boat for us!. Even though it rained, the lantern boat was good too. Tour guide was very cheerful and talkative, a bit hard to understand.
Our guide was really helpful, we had a great day. The coconut boats were a lot of fun. We loved Zhou An and would have liked more time for shopping and exploring. We had our first mango coffee and then a lovely Vietnamese meal.
Kevin was friendly and attentive to our needs.
Good
Loved the coconut boat ride, the cultural show and the lantern boat ride. Not too impressed with the silk making facility and the temple. Also, would love more free time to shop as there were so many cute shops around.
A Kókuszfalus csónakázás érdekes volt, ahogy Hoi An ősi városrészének a felfedezése is. Luan, az idegenvezetőnk kiváló angollal beavatott minket a helyiek életébe, Vietnám és a város történelmének egyes részleteibe, mindezt humorosan úgy, hogy végig fenntartotta a figyelmünket. Megismerkedtünk egy helyi szabósággal, ahol bemutatták, hogyan készül a selyem és abból a gyönyörű termékek, majd az óváros egyéb érdekes részeit is megismertük, majd részt vettünk egy helyi színházi előadáson. Utána egy nagyszerű vacsora következett, végül pedig lehetőségünk volt egy csónakázásra, ahol lámpásba suttogtuk a kívánságainkat, majd megúsztattuk a folyón. Tartalmas időtöltés volt, mindenképpen ajánlott.
