Tour description

THE FIRST GHOST TOUR IN VIETNAM

Hoi An is known as the Town of Lanterns, but we will instead focus on the dark side while exploring areas of the city rarely seen.

Next to a 400 years-old tree, you will meet your host, who will lead you into darkenings alleys, there, you will be shown locations of dreadful discovery and a medieval graveyard, where you will understand the death ritual, the way of living people connect with the death through incense.

Keep going through the alleys we will discover the murder of 108 traders, and the apology of the King.

In the shadow of the oldest house in the old town, you will know about the war that made immigrants abandon their houses.

We will see how the locals protect their houses from dark spirits, taboos, and things you are not allowed to do in Fullmoon and Newmoon and listen to the mystery monster living in Hoi An.

The experience covers approximately a mile of distance over 1.5 hours, but you won't be counting steps. Many other legends and lore stories await you on the first Ghost tour in Vietnam!

This is technically a ghost tour but really so much more, Minh takes you through backstreets to share all about the history and culture of Vietnamese perceptions on life, death and family. He makes it fun and interesting. You should take it the first day you arrive because he shares so much that will help you notice small things in the city that you would have missed.

I had an incredible experience on the Ghost Tour in Hoi An led by Minh. His friendly and engaging demeanor made the tour not only enjoyable but also educational, as he shared fascinating insights into the rich culture of Hoi An and Vietnam. Minh went above and beyond by providing valuable tips and recommendations for things to do in Hoi An. His local knowledge and expertise greatly enhanced my visit, allowing me to explore the city's hidden gems and make the most of my time there. Don't miss the opportunity to benefit from his suggestions during your stay in Hoi An!
