Therefore we missed out on the information regarding the tunnels, we tried to listen into other guides so we could piece together what we were looking at. Wish we had booked through another company as this was a bucket list tour that fall well short of delivery.”

Lunch included which was tasty. Headed to a little house that makes rice paper, again, perfect in terms of time spent there. Finally, enjoyed a boat ride back into Hoi A that took 30 mins. Dropped back off at the hotel. My Son was very busy. Payment for My Son was 150,000 dong. Because I had booked so many trips with Viator I had credit so this trip actually only cost me…”
