nicely arranged tour. so convenient to book through Klook and find the tour manager on the spot. You get free tea which our tour manager insisted to have as soon as we arrived which was a good addition to the cold weather prior starting the boat ride. few good moments well spent on a beautiful evening. boat has life jackets for safety,

It is highly recommended to rent an Ao dai for a day. Taking photos in the ancient town of Hoi An will be very photogenic. Many people asked about it along the way. The boss is very nice. You don’t need to rush back to return it. You can return it directly to the Hoi An hotel the next day. Highly recommended💯
