This tour is a perfect blend of culture and beauty! Strolling through Hoi An's ancient streets while capturing stunning photos was an unforgettable experience. The guide made everything even more special with their fascinating stories about the town. Ending the day with a lantern release on the Hoai River was magical—watching the glowing lanterns float peacefully felt like a dream.
