  • Hoi An Ancient Town
  • Japanese Covered Bridge
  • Hoi An Central Market
  • Tra Que Vegetable Village
  • Cam Thanh Coconut Village
  • An Bang Beach

Suggested Hoi An City Tour Itinerary

We can customize the tour according to your preferences. The following itinerary is an example of how a full-day private Hoi An sightseeing tour could be arranged.

8:00 AM – Hotel Pickup

Your driver picks you up from your hotel or accommodation in Hoi An.

After a short introduction, begin your private city tour.

Hoi An Ancient Town

The historic bridge is located in the center of the Ancient Town and is an easy stop during your walking tour.

Hoi An Central Market

Continue to the local market to see fresh produce, seafood, spices, Vietnamese ingredients, souvenirs, and everyday local life.

This can also be a good place to try local snacks and food.

Tra Que Vegetable Village

Travel outside the Ancient Town to Tra Que Vegetable Village, an agricultural area known for traditional vegetable farming.

Visitors can learn about local farming practices and enjoy the quieter countryside atmosphere.

Cam Thanh Coconut Village

Continue to Cam Thanh Coconut Village, an area known for its water coconut forests and traditional basket boat experiences.

Return to Hoi An

After completing your selected attractions, your driver will take you back to your hotel.

The return time can be adjusted depending on your itinerary.

Hoi An Ancient Town Private Car Tour

The Ancient Town is the main attraction for many visitors to Hoi An.

A private car is particularly useful if you are staying outside the central area or want to combine the Ancient Town with attractions in the surrounding countryside.

Within the Ancient Town, you can explore:

  • Historic merchant houses
  • Temples
  • Assembly halls
  • Japanese Covered Bridge
  • Riverside streets
  • Local markets
  • Lantern shops
  • Traditional craft stores

Because many streets in the Ancient Town are pedestrian-friendly or subject to vehicle restrictions at certain times, your driver can drop you at a suitable access point and waitnearby.

Cam Thanh is known for its water coconut forest and traditional round basket boats.

A private car makes it easy to combine Cam Thanh with the Ancient Town, Tra Que, or other nearby attractions.

You can arrange a basket boat experience separately or include it as part of a customized tour package.

An Bang Beach is a convenient addition to a Hoi An sightseeing itinerary.

If you want to combine cultural sightseeing with some beach time, you can visit the Ancient Town in the morning and continue to An Bang Beach later in the day.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Tony driving us from Hoi An to Hue. Honestly, Tony was not only an excellent driver, but an incredible person. He was one of the friendliest and kindest people we met during our trip in Vietnam. We stopped at My Son Sanctuary, the Marble Mountains, Hai Van Pass and Lang Co Beach, and Tony made the whole day unforgettable. He was extremely flexible, patient and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. What really made the experience special was how genuinely friendly Tony was. He even invited us for coffee along the way, and we ended up having lunch together and spending time chatting like we were travelling with a friend rather than just a driver. He went far beyond what we expected and was always happy to help or give us recommendations. Tony is honestly one of those people you remember after a trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better driver or a better person to spend the day with. If you’re travelling from Hoi An to Hue, don’t hesitate to book with Tony, we highly recommend him! ❤️

I booked for a 7seater compact SUV hoping to do the Hai Van pass and do sightseeing while on the peak but the weather was not very cooperative with our initial plan- can’t insist with driver trusting them our safety as well. That’s probably the reason why Andrew whom i communicated at first during the booking sent just a standard 4seater Mitsubishi with Chris as our driver. Chris drove us safely from Hue to Hoi An via the tunnel. Though not able to have the Hai Van Pass drive due to bad weather and fog with slight rainfall but still he was patient enough to wait us while we were at Lang co Lagoon and Marble mountain. He speaks English well and we find it easy to communicate with him. He was very considerate and friendly.

We used this company twice for long trips when we were in Vietnam. The cars were great and the company was easy to deal with and they were very reliable. We had Chris for one drive and top for the second drive. Both were very professional, friendly, had great English and were very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this company for all your transportation needs in central Vietnam..

I would like to compliment Hue Private Drivers for their honesty and excellent communication on WhatsApp. My wife and I were planning to do the Five Lakes hike by ourselves, rather than as part of a tour. We contacted several private driver companies to arrange transport. Hue Private Drivers were the only company that clearly and honestly told us about the current problem (July 2026) with a landslide at km12 on the road. Because they gave us this information, we decided not to do the trip. However, we really appreciated their honesty and good customer service. I believe this kind of service deserves recognition, so I wanted to leave this review. Highly recommended.

Used Hue Private Drivers for transfer from Hoi An to Hue with Son as our driver. It was great to stop at many sights along the way including My Son Sanctuary and Marble Mountain. Son was an excellent, friendly driver who was very flexible, didn't rush us at stops, and always making sure we were comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

I had an excellent experience with my driver today. He picked me up at Da Nang Airport right on time and made the entire journey smooth and enjoyable. We first visited the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills, and he made sure I had enough time to explore and take photos without feeling rushed. After that, he drove me through some of the most beautiful landscapes in central Vietnam and even recommended stopping for lunch at Lagoon Restaurant, which had stunning views and delicious food. The drive to Hue was comfortable and safe, and he was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the area. The whole day felt effortless thanks to his excellent service. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for a reliable driver to explore Vietnam and travel between cities.

Booked a private driver from Hue to Hoi an. I contacted them via WhatsApp. I received an immediate response and everything was simple to get scheduled and confirmed. Chris was prompt and we were ready to go at 9:00am. He was very friendly, kind, and accommodating. He is a wonderful young man and a delight to be with for the day. Excellent driver! I’m keeping their numbers. I will return to Vietnam and if I’m in the area, I hope to use them again. From beginning to end, everything was seamless.

Our driver was Tri Duong Ky and he drove a group of 5 of us from Phong Nha to Hoi An. He made the trip a great experience. He contacted us ahead to confirm our plans, showed up on time and was friendly and helpful from the first moment. His english was good and he provided great information, made sure we were able to experience Hue and gave us his local perspective, and guided us to an excellent lunch. We had a fun trip and loved his sense of humor. On top of that, he was a very professional driver and we enjoyed seeing the countryside and learning more about Vietnam life. Highly recommend him if you need a reliable and entertaining driver – thank you Tri 😄
