Hoi An Old Town Walking and Lantern Making Class

Hoi An is more than its yellow walls and colorful lanterns. This private walking tour takes you through the heart of the Ancient Town, where centuries of Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and European influences come together — with plenty of time to slow down, explore, and discover the stories behind the streets.

Start with a Vietnamese coffee, then walk through Hoi An’s historic streets with a local guide. Visit the Japanese Covered Bridge, old merchant houses, Chinese assembly halls, temples, and traditional streets, while learning how Hoi An grew from a busy international trading port into the charming town you see today.

Then step inside a local lantern workshop and make your own Hoi An lantern. Learn how the bamboo frame is shaped, how the silk is attached, and how these colorful lanterns became an important symbol of the town. With the help of a local artisan, you’ll create a lantern that you can take home as a personal souvenir.

There’s no need to rush. Stop for photos, taste a local snack, ask questions, or simply enjoy the atmosphere of the Ancient Town.

Private walking tour. Local coffee. Ancient streets. Local stories. Make your own lantern. Experience Hoi An through the eyes of someone who calls it home.
