You step off the coach into Hoi An’s compressed light—lanterns swinging over narrow streets, the scent of lemongrass and grilled fish drifting from a street vendor. The town moves at a human pace, and over five days this tour lets you trade centrifugal travel for slow focus: cobbled alleys, marble peaks, a cable car that climbs fog into a French-inflected hilltop.
