Fun & Chillax - It's very enjoyable and we felt so pampered throughout the tour. The lantern lady is very friendly and patience, and I am happy about how you can collapse the lantern so it's foldable into luggage. Then we had a nice basket boat tour into the coconut forest, love the view and chilling moment until we get to see the basket boat performance. Crab fishing was fun too. We got back to the host's house after the basket boat ride, had our lunch, just sat there and chill. It was overall a wonderful experience and would like to recommend to those who wants a chillax tour in Hoi An. 😘

Amazing experience to have in Hoi An - Amazing experience to have in Hoi A with Nice and delicious people. The driver followed us during the whole trip, first on the lantern making class with the artisan ladies patiently teaching us the trade in making the lantern, then at the local restaurant with the chief explaining us each of the local dishes: the spring rolls, the banana flower salad, the Vietnamese pancakes, etc. Finally we very enjoyed the trip in the basket boat and trying to catch the crabs,

Great - The experience was very pleasant! The chef and host were very welcoming and friendly. We were in a small group in their family home, which makes it nice to be apart from the busy crowd. Very clean house with a nice country side garden area.

Many facets to this tour - Great tour. We all enjoyed the lantern making despite my brother’s scepticism. The lady was very patient and we all enjoyed our reward of a lantern to take home. We then were taken to a cottage and went on the banana boat and crab fishing part of the tour. This was also excellent and many many boats on the water. We then went back to the cottage for a fantastic lunch. As I am fussy with food they catered to my dietary whims.
All in all a great day out and I would recommend to anyone as a must do in Hoi An
