One of the best experiences at Hoi An. Would definitely recommend that everyone does at least one guided walk to understand and appreciate your surroundings. I wish I had done this on the first day that we arrived. But finally managed it on the last day. June was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic and shared stories about how Hoi An is a wonderful blend of Viatnamese, Japanese and Chinese cultures. Left Hoi An with a peek into the local culture and history of the place. Definitely coming back for more...
