Tour information

  • Hoi An has two main seasons, with the dry period from February to August offering the most reliable weather for walking tours, cycling and visiting nearby beaches. March to May usually brings warm, pleasant temperatures and clearer skies, making it ideal for outdoor activities and lantern-lit evenings in the Old Town. From September to January, heavier rain and occasional flooding can affect travel plans, although the town remains atmospheric and less crowded. Summer months are hot but good for combining countryside visits with beach time. For most custom itineraries, spring provides the most balanced conditions.
  • Meals included in your private Hoi An tour can be adapted to vegetarian, vegan or allergy-related dietary needs whenever food is part of the itinerary.
  • Guides, drivers and craft or cooking experiences in Hoi An depend on availability, especially during weekends, festivals and busy holiday periods.
  • All cancellation conditions for Local Vietnam apply; you can read the full policy on our cancellation policy page.
