Awesome cultural experience in Hoi An!!

My wife and I had the best time in this lantern making class!! Our instructor, Minh, was so nice and led a fun interactive session with us, and she helped us to clean up the edges to ensure our lanterns were pretty, assembled correctly, and packaged up to bring home safely :) We also built awesome paper candle holders, inserted personal wishes, and released them in the river on a scenic golden hour a stunning views of Old Town Hoi An. If you’re looking for a fun and relaxing cultural activity in Hoi An, I’d highly recommend this!!

Our wonderful trip with Ms. Vy 🌷

We had such an amazing time in Hoi An, and a huge part of that was because of Ms. Vy. She was incredibly kind, warm, and accommodating from the very beginning. She’s soft-spoken, patient, and so knowledgeable about Vietnam’s history, making every story and explanation interesting and easy to follow. She made the coconut boat ride and the lantern-making workshop so much more enjoyable. We learned so much, had so many laughs, and created wonderful memories along the way. Thanks to Ms. Vy, we were able to experience Hoi An in a much more meaningful way. We’re truly grateful for her kindness and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Hoi An! Cheers from the Philippines for you, Ms Vy! We’re wishing all the best for you. ❤️

Second time doing this even better than the first!!!

This was an amazing trifecta of an experience, perfect for a first (, second, and third) date… hint hint wink wink 😉 I had already done the Hoi An lantern and riverboat candle release ride thing before, but this particular tour took it to another level with the basket boat tour in the coconut forest (which I hadn’t done before) as well as Hle’s epic lantern making class. She’s so passionate about lantern-making that she was able to teach me how to do it well and actually make it look good when my last lantern that I made did not turn out nearly as aesthetically pleasing to the eye. And I didn’t get to make my own candle to release on the lantern riverboat ride, so that was a nice touch to be able to write my wish in there in keeping with the tradition. Hle was amazing, and so was Minh for driving us everywhere safely and ensuring we had a wonderful time. Oh yeah, it was me and someone I was meeting for the first time doing this, and this went so well for 3 little back to back dates that we ended up going on some more dates immediately after and had an unforgettable night. 11/10 would HIGHLY recommend
