A seven-night mid-range trip, including estimated return travel from London, is best treated as a planning range of £890 to £1240 per person. Return travel is modelled at about £530 off-peak, £680 typically and £920 in busy UK travel periods. These are planning estimates rather than live quotes.

What kind of holiday is Hoi An?

Hoi An is strongest for history and culture, food and drink, beaches and coastal time, and romance. The main settings are coastal scenery, urban settings, and wooded countryside, and the pace is relaxing.

How flexible is it? Hoi An can credibly be planned with a very relaxed to active daytime pace, serene to lively evenings and off-beat to hotspot crowd settings through the choice of area, hotel, activities and timing. The typical version has relaxed days, balanced evenings and a popular setting. The quiz selects the closest credible version rather than treating it as one fixed product.
