Hoi An: Myths and Secrets of Ancient Town Walking Tour

Discover the myths and secrets of Hoi An on a guided evening walking tour. Taste the famous Cao Lầu noodles, sip on herbal tea, and learn about the town’s history and legends.
Begin your tour at the Ancient Well on the corner of Hoi An Market, a quiet spot woven into centuries of daily life and local belief, surrounded by stalls piled high with herbs, incense, lanterns, and fresh produce.

From here, continue to the Fujian Assembly Hall, where local sailors once prayed to the Sea Goddess Thiên Hậu before crossing dangerous seas. Next, head to the Ba Lê Well, believed by many to hold sacred Cham water – the mystical ingredient that gives life to the town’s famous Cao Lầu noodles. Taste this dish in a nearby family-run eatery tucked inside an old shophouse and learn how centuries of trade shaped its unique flavor.

Stroll deeper into the lantern-lit streets and pause at a local herbal tea shop for a herbal tea, a drink rooted in healing and harmony for centuries. Along the way, your guide brings ancient stories to life, from the dragon sleeping beneath the Japanese Bridge to the Faifo girl who waited forever for her sailor, and the beliefs that gave meaning to the town’s bridges, wells, and shrines.

End your tour at the riverside, where the Thu Bồn River comes alive at night with glowing lanterns, wooden boats, and the hum of cafés and market stalls. Spend the rest of the evening in the area, taking a famous boat ride on the river or enjoying dinner at one of the many nearby restaurants.
