The price is affordable, just look for the Klook store sign along the alley, and the staff are also wearing Klook clothing, which is very convenient!

I did not expect the experience to be so beautiful. I only get to see this from videos online. But trying it out personally is the best thing. Hoi An is one of the prettiest city I’ve been so far.
