What to expect

  1. White Rose Spa
    30m · Admission ticket not included
    Our guide will meet you at White Rose Restaurant. You will stop there and try dumplings made from a family recipe that has been kept for over 130 years.
  2. Tiger Market
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Stop at a local market when many food stalls open for students after school. You will try five tastings of traditional cakes. You may be surprised because they are savory, not sweet.
  3. Hoi An Cathedral
    Pass by
    Because it was an international trading port, where people met and shared cultures, Hoi An became the place of the first Catholic church in Vietnam.

    There are many interesting stories about Vietnam’s history from this church. You can learn more when you join the tour with our knowledgeable guide.
  4. Ba Le well
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Visit the Ba Le Well area and sample the food here, where locals still share stories and rumors about the special water here.
  5. Hoi An Market
    30m · Admission ticket not included
    Visit Hoi An Central Market. Many stalls look the same, and some sellers can be pushy. But there is one special stall that Anthony Bourdain visited and featured on his TV series. Even though it has no queue and is not crowded, it feels like a forgotten Anthony Bourdain spot.
