Beautiful night in Hoi An
The experience was exceptional. The palm tree boat ride was super fun with the dancing and karaoke included. Hoi An at night is so beautiful with all the lantern colours and if you have the chance book also the boat ride to put the candles on the water, it is worthwhile. Chao was our guide and she was superb. She is super helpful and kind, she told us all the details of the itinerary very clearly and took care of everything running here and there for the tickets and transfers. She also took great pictures of us. In summary the experience was really great.
