It was a pleasant unhurried day trip from Hue (port where our cruise ship docked) to Danang via cloudy pass, to museum in Danang and the picturesque town of Hoi An. It was specially enriching as our guide Hung was very knowledgeble of the history of Vietnam, I really learned a lot on his narration coupled with the visit to the museum in Danang. The 2nd leg of the tour was a walk around and lunch in Hoi An, it was again made special to sample the nice Vietnamese food of the locality. We capped off with a walk thru and of course buying some local items (not just souvenirs) from the market. Make sure you buy the coffee in Hoi An to bring home. Our private car was a spacious SUV that nicely accommodated our family of four, All in all I would recommend Hung and his driver for this kind of day tour, he took good care of us in all aspect. A private tour is way far more better than joining the big bus group tour of the cruise lines, you can pace yourself and not be bothered with waiting as with a bus sized group.
