📷 Rice fields — the first bright impressions of our trip and a chance to see real rural Vietnam. Here endless green terraces stretch out that change shades with the season and the light. The mirror-like surface of flooded fields reflects the clouds and sky, creating incredible landscapes. This is one of the best places for beautiful photos, getting to know local life, and enjoying the calm atmosphere of the countryside.

🏖 An Bang Beach — one of the most beautiful beaches in central Vietnam, listed among the best beaches in Asia. Here you'll find a wide shoreline, soft pale sand and clear sea with gentle waves. Unlike busy resort areas, An Bang has kept its laid-back vibe. It's an ideal spot to take stunning photos, enjoy the sea views, and feel the real spirit of the coast.

🛶 Bay Mau Coconut Forest — a real water adventure that will bring plenty of excitement and bright memories. You'll glide through scenic canals lined with dense coconut palms in traditional basket boats, the symbol of the region. During the ride, local people will show their boat-handling skills, perform cheerful dances on the water, and show off thrilling tricks. It's one of the most colorful and memorable experiences around Hoi An.

🏯 Old Hoi An — a unique open-air museum town listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. More than four centuries ago it was an important trading port where merchants met from many countries around the world. Today you can still see old houses, cozy lanes, traditional shops, and atmospheric courtyards. During your walk, you'll feel the special charm of the ancient town, where history blends beautifully with modern life.

🌉 The Japanese Bridge — the main landmark of Hoi An and one of the most recognizable architectural monuments of Vietnam. Built in the 16th century by Japanese merchants, the bridge became a symbol of friendship and cultural exchange between nations. Its elegant structure is decorated with traditional carvings and guarded by animal statues. The site holds many legends and is a must-see stop for all visitors to the ancient town.

🏮 Tan Ky House — a beautifully preserved historic mansion that has belonged to one family for several generations. Here you can see how wealthy merchants lived at the height of Hoi An's prosperity. The interiors are furnished with antique furniture, antiques, and family heirlooms. Of particular interest is the architecture, which combines Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese elements, reflecting the rich history of the town.

⛩ Chinese temples — magnificent religious complexes built by Chinese communities who lived in Hoi An many centuries ago. Their facades are decorated with bright carvings, images of dragons and traditional ornaments. Inside, a special atmosphere of calm, filled with the scent of incense and soft lantern light. Visiting the temples helps you better understand the cultural heritage of the region and get to know the spiritual traditions of local people.

🍜 Dinner in Hoi An — a chance to discover the rich world of local cuisine and try the dishes the town is known for. You can order the famous banh mi from Phuong, which many travelers call the best sandwich in Vietnam, as well as the legendary cao lau soup, whose recipe originated right in Hoi An. Each dish has a unique flavor and reflects centuries-old culinary traditions of the region.

🚣 The Hoai River — the most romantic spot on the tour and one of the main highlights of Hoi An in the evening. As dusk falls, the water begins to reflect thousands of colorful lights, creating a truly magical atmosphere. Here you can light your lantern of wishes, make your deepest wish, and let it drift away on the current. This beautiful tradition is seen as a symbol of luck, happiness, and the fulfillment of dreams.

🌙 An Hoi Night Market — a true riot of colors, scents and bright sights. After sunset, the streets fill with the glow of lanterns, music and lively atmosphere. Here you can buy silk items, leather accessories, handmade jewelry and plenty of unique souvenirs. The market is perfect for leisurely strolls, meeting local culture, and finding gifts for yourself and loved ones.

✨ Evening Hoi An — a true fairytale that stays with every traveler. When thousands of colorful lanterns light up the streets, the ancient town transforms and becomes incredibly beautiful. The light reflects on the river, old buildings take on a special charm, and the atmosphere fills with romance and coziness. This is when Hoi An reveals its soul and shows why it is considered one of the most atmospheric cities in Asia.

I want to recommend @Ksenia_BigTravelChat We booked a speedboat to the southern islands as a private trip for our group. Everything was well organized, and Ksenia replies very fast! The boat was good and clean. On board we had water and a box of ice to chill our wine and prosecco. The staff were polite, and best of all, they took us to the islands before anyone else arrived, so we had time for lots of photos (once the main group tours arrive, that's impossible because of the crowds). We had our own drone and flew it plenty, but we also used the drone filming included in the price, and I got the finished photos right away via AirDrop. Thank you, Ksenia, for organizing a wonderful island trip! 🙏🏼

Hello Ksenia! We were delighted with the tour and loved everything about it, especially the guide, a wonderful man. We were also very happy that you added the Coconut Prison, because it wasn't in our program at first and we really wanted to go. One of the girls in our group was set on it. It was great that they let us taste everything instead of just talking about it. We tried fish sauce there and some kind of alcohol too. In short, we're delighted with you. We have another tour with you coming up: we booked a yacht, well, a boat, for the 23rd. So far everything is great. Thank you for Mikhail too, he helped us a lot. We've been getting around everywhere on his ticket for several days now.

5 Islands tour: at the second stop you get photo and video shooting, which is included in the price. You can rent flowing dresses on site, since the photos are taken on a swing. You can bring your own outfit to save time on changing. The beaches were clean, there were no waves, and there were no extra stops at random shops with pressure to buy something. Our guides were Igor and Marina, so it was easy to ask for any extra information. Some toilets were paid: 10 VND, showers 20 VND, so bring small change. Lunch was filling and Vietnamese.

Safari + Star Beach: at the zoo we added a buggy for an extra 100 VND per person, so we didn't have to walk in the heat and could see everything. There was a great bird show, very interesting animal areas, a nicely designed park and plenty of shade. Lunch was very tasty, and you can try the freshest oysters and sea urchins there for 50-60 VND each. I recommend doing it this way, because elsewhere it's unclear when they were caught. The road to Star Beach is quite rough, so I don't recommend going on your own: the road is under repair, and riding a bike there in the dark takes superhuman driving skills. Our guides were Maria and Anh. Maria knows a lot about life in Vietnam, and Anh is a Vietnamese man who speaks good Russian because he studied in Ufa. They are great to talk to and told us about local traditions, where to buy things and plenty of other useful information.
