We made it to Hoi An, Vietnam and we are in LOVE with this beautiful city! We spent a few days exploring its Ancient Town, trying local foods, going to a night market, spinning on a basket boat, making a lantern, and riding bikes to the beach and through a vegetable garden. It was one of our favorite few days in Vietnam!

I can tell you that the Ancient Town and, particularly the Japanese Bridge, look exactly like they did in 1971 when I was there. I developed a taste for Vietnamese food when I was there and you had the foodie in me drooling. I am really enjoying the Viet Nam series of videos. It is taking me back to my youth without the explosions and bullets.
Wow that is amazing that they are still the same! The food was fantastic! Thank you for watching and thanks for your service!
Wow you were there during the war? how was the atmosphere during those times?
@@dorf213 In Hoi An it was pretty quiet. The further west you got from Highway 1 (the main North-South route the more you got into hostile territory. The Hoi An you see in A+k's video is a lot cleaner and more commercialized. Anything you see catering to tourists or with bi-lingual signs was not there in 1971.
@@georgem7965.you come back Hội An ?? Go go
I'd love to.@@thanhthuyang9697
I seriously love how honest you guys are. You'd managed to sneak into the old town without realising you'd snuck in, but much like us, as soon as you learnt you were meant to have paid, you went to find a ticket booth! I've heard the 'quick turn around times' in Hoi An for the tailoring of clothes come with a bigger price tag and make it more difficult to haggle down, but if you're based in Hoi Ann for a little longer, you have more bartering power and can get the price down a fair bit. Loved the hotel you guys stayed in. I thought I knew plenty about Hoi An but didn't know about the basket boats. The crab fishing from them was especially interesting. I would 100% rent bikes like you guys to get out to the beach! That countryside you cycled through was stunning, and then the beach was the cherry on top! REALLY loving your Vietnam series
haha they don't make the ticket booths very obvious! We didn't realize we needed it until we wanted to go into the Old House of Tan Ky. We're glad we were able to chip in for the preservation of the area!
It would have been fun to get something tailored, we just don't have any room or need for anything.
The crab fishing really surprised and delighted us!
The bike ride was so gorgeous and fun! We love riding bikes and that was quite the place to do it!
Thank you!
Basically, the most consistent thing in your videos is Adam losing fish.
We really enjoyed this ep. Keep going
Haha yup! 😂😭🤦🏻♂️
In conclusion, Hoi An Memories Land offers a complete Vietnamese experience. From the enchanting show that delves into the country's history to the delicious cuisine and tranquil surroundings, it's a must-visit destination in Vietnam. I left with a deeper appreciation for this beautiful country and its heritage.
❤🎉❤❤❤❤
You guys are the reason for the existence of CZcams. Your video contents are so good. I am a Vietnamese who visited Hoi An for a few times already but you guys manage to make me want to go there again. Hands down.
Thank you so much! That means a lot to us! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow AGAIN!! Lots of thoughts ran through my head on this one: 1. Your aerial shots really help give us another perspective layer - thank you! Also, every time there's a drone shot, I find myself pausing the film to see where you are (other than the obvious ones). It's like playing "Where's Waldo?", but "Where's Adam and/or Kathryn?" :) 2. That annual flood comment of the Tan Ky house immediately made me wonder how they preserve things below those water lines. Pulley system - LOVE THAT!!! 3. Seemed like there were lots of professional photographers taking pictures of people with the city as a backdrop. Very cool! 4. In the basket boat ride area, you had an aerial shot of someone casting a net. Is there a particular fish they're hoping to catch? 5. How fun to ride bikes through rice fields and gardens!! 6. That last coffee spot looked divine, including the swing!!! Thanks again for sharing your adventures with us!!! Brought another smile to my face on a Sunday afternoon!
Haha that's awesome! We love flying the drone whenever we can.
The guy casting the net I think just does that for show for the tourists. That whole part of the boat ride had different stations the ride stopped at. The spinning boat, someone to take your photo, the guy casting the net, and a couple others. I'm sure they do fish out there though and I wonder what fish they're hoping to catch also!
The bike ride was a ton of fun!
Woohoo! Thank you!
You guys enjoyed Hoi An & visited places a lot more than I did last summer (a Vietnamese, living in Sweden). I'm so nostalgic & jealous of you, lol ! Besides, your videos are so unique with quick basic historical stories. Keep going !
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Vietnam is so beautiful! I really want to make a lantern now. That looked so so fun! Y'alls turned out beautiful! 😀
The lantern class was so fun and relaxing. We really want to do more activities like that on our travels. Highly recommend! Thanks, Sarah!
I’ve watched many a travel vlog but, …….. hands down you guys are the best!!!! Fun destinations, interesting places, fabulous food (or not so fabulous), cool things to do, and as always fantastic filming and editing. I LOVE your videos, BEST of what CZcams has to offer! Keep up the great work! You guys are the best!
Thank you so much, Steve! That is a really kind comment and means a lot to us! Thanks for watching!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I enjoyed your Italy videos as well , I’m traveling there in may and I’m excited try TONS of gelato!!
What amazing visit. The lantern class looks really cool. I haven't been to SE Asia yet either but Vietnam is definitely on the list.
The lantern class was a ton of fun and really relaxing! Vietnam has been very special!
Please go. Pleaseeeeeeeeee. It’s an experience you will remember for life. I’m going back. Third time is the charm.
I feel so ignorant! I can’t believe how beautiful it is there! Your hotel, the food, the night time market - just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!!
It is such an incredible town!
Loved this! The food looks amazing. I’d love to make a lantern and you chose fabric that I would be thrilled to have. Happy you’re enjoying your trip and taking us along. 😉
Thank you and thanks for watching! ❤
Hoi An is at the top of my bucket list 😍 awesome video as always
It’s so beautiful and historic! Thanks!
I visited Hội An 20 years ago, very nice place to visit in Vietnam
And now I want to go to Vietnam!! What an amazing trip! So fun!
Adam - How did you not lose your sunglasses in those waves?! I had so much anxiety and kept saying "your glasses!! Don't lose your glasses!!" 😂
Vietnam has been so amazing! It has been everything we hoped and more!
haha luckily they are super cheap (still don't want to lose them, but at least. they're cheap 😂) and they are really new so they are still really tight on my head. I eventually got smart and took them off!
Thank you for visiting my hometown. I was born there and moved to the US when I was younger. The town brought back so much nostalgia. I haven’t been back there for quite a long time and you guys inspired me to plan a trip there next summer.
Ok this was such a fun video! I love, love, love these medium sized cities and Hoi An looked absolutely delightful. It has everything I'd want in a trip...that just rocketed up on my bucket list spots...there's just too much to see in this world! Also, I loved the "Solid food night" comment..made me laugh.
Hoi An was so beautiful! It's a must visit! And we so agree...so much to see!
You guys are hitting it out of the park with this series! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you so much! ❤
These Vietnam videos are 100! I thought following the journey to and in Alaska was great but y’all have outdone yourselves showing us Vietnam. I could feel the rotation in the little spinning basket and I could smell the food items through the screen! Hope you enjoy the rest of your time there. :)
Oh that's so awesome to hear! Thank you so much and thanks for watching! We're having a blast!
Hoi An was awesome! I loved everything about this video! The joy on your faces says it all! Keep traveling safe! 😘
We had a ton of fun! Hoi An is special!
We've SO enjoyed your Vietnam videos! My wife and I are hoping to visit next spring. Thanks so much for the entertainment and inspiration!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Guys, that's the best travel video about Hoi An on CZcams. Lots of information, great picture - thanks!
Wow, thanks!
Your review of Hoi An is hands down THE BEST video I have watched about Vietnam! I visited Hoi An in January, 23 and although I enjoyed it tremendously, you’ve taught me that I missed a great deal. I’m going back again in January 24 and this time, Thanks to you, I will do it right! I’m sending you a little bit of financial love.😊
I have loved yall's Vietnam videos! So much fun learning about a culture I don't know much about. Thank you for taking us along!
Thank you! ❤
og, I totally agree with you that the Vietnamese dishes in Hoi An and in the whole Vietnam are so so so good. Thanks for the videos.
Such beautiful areas! That food looks amazing! I wish I could try all that amazing food and drinks!! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video. I'm looking forward to the next one!
The food was super good! Thank you!
Hoi An is our favorite holiday destination. Thanks A&K for your great videos.
Wow! Just wow! Thank you for taking us along.
Brilliant. Great fun on the circular boats. Amazing content.😲👍😊🇻🇳
Was neat how he could spin the boat! I loved your lanterns, beautiful. Looked fun fishing for the small crabs. I liked seeing the different foods you've enjoyed, & how you use the rice paper. You sure enjoyed alot in 3 days!
The spinning boat was so fun! We got super dizzy! We tried to cram as much as we could in those 3 days! It was awesome! Thanks, Kimberly!
Well worth the wait....well done & love it!!!
Great video, guys! You guys showed a lot of the activities that can be done there and found some great food and views. I think doing a cooking class, getting something small tailored (like a swimming suit), doing a food tour ("Steph and Pete" had a great food tour there), and riding the boats at night would have rounded out the whole experience...although I did see the MomDuty channel do a Jack Tran Tour that looked like a whole day of fun.
looks like a fabulous stay.. nice Airbnb, the bike ride was the best.
Loved the presentation of the tea at Mot. The basket boats & lantern making looked so fun, and your hotel was nice. Hoi An looks awesome!
Yes the presentation was so pretty, right?! The basket boats were a hoot and the lantern class was so relaxing! Hoi An is such a special town!
The video is quality, emotional, both of you are so enjoy. I'm Vietnamese and I haven't been to Hoi An yet, but thank you so much for this video, you two really inspire me to plan a trip to Hoi An in the future.
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
This is one of THEE BEST Hoi A videos I have seen! And I have seen a lot because it’s my ultimate destination! You guys showed sooo much wonderful unique experiences! I love this!! Your accommodations are impeccable and the basket boats? how fun!! You found all the great spots here I have a new list now in my reminders!!!
Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed the video!
What a place, we loved it more than anywhere else!
That was so great thanks for taking e along guys. I’ve only been to japan but Vietnam would be where i would want to go next
Japan is high on our list! It might be our next country when we come back to Asia! Thanks, Peter!
It’s such a beautiful area to visit & enjoy the food & so pretty at night.
I really love and appreciate your extensive research behind your vietnam travel series. It really helps me understand the city on a deeper level. Thank you so much ❤
We’re so happy to hear that! Thank you so much and thanks for watching! ❤️
Great travel guide-now it is another place I want to experience. Thanks!
I learned so much history from you guys. Great job! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
So awesome! Wish I could taste this food!
You guys are great. Thanks for being so respectful of the culture while presenting your adventures in a fun and entertaining way. Safe travels.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Loved all the drone shots and the food looked amazing!!!! Always love the bloops! Great video guys! ~Cara 😊
It was such a beautiful area! Thanks, guys!
Such a wonderful trip ~ the food looks amazing as well! 😊
Safe travels!¡! Beautiful video. Gorgeous scenery!!!
Thanks, Kathy!
Thanks for a great video!
What an amazing city! I’m ready to start packing now!
Do it!
You are the one!! We are doing the bike and mustard tour today because of you!!! Loved it!!!❤❤❤
This is such an amazing video!
Oh wow!! For some reason your videos haven’t been popping up for a couple months, and I even forgot about your channel until now. Such a refreshing treat seeing your videos again!! Thanks for all you do!!
Oh no! We're glad we're popping up again! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Your video quality is so good.The way you tell your story is very detailed and engaging.keep. Keep it up
Thank you so much! ❤️
Probably too late since you're too far up north now, but I think you'd have loved Da Lat (canyoning, Elephant Falls, Alpine rollercoaster, the Maze Bar, Crazy House, Clay Tunnel, etc.). If you're adventurous, do the all day or multi-day caving in Phong Nha (or you can just do the day tour to Paradise and Dark Cave). Hue has amazing food (do a food tour or go to that restaurant "Chase and Shelbs" went where they got a ton of great looking food that Hue is known for) and lots of ancient architecture as well as the abandoned waterpark with the coolest dragon (also saw CularTravels do a war history tour that was amazing there). Ninh Binh is a must with the dragon on top of the mountain, the boat rides, as well as a bird sanctuary and old architecture to explore. Wondering if you guys will be doing the Ha Giang Loop (if so, do the 4 day one so you can see everything)...and consider Ba Be Lake homestay and tour (saw a British couple do it and they said it was the best tour they've done).
Excellent video today!!!
Brilliant video guys! Keep them coming! ❤
❤️
Looks like another great Adventure
Excellent lantern skills, we didn’t do that. Such fun & a great item to take home.
Wow Hội An so beautiful ❤👍👌🇻🇳
Thanks for another awesome video!
Really appreciate the details, links from your video. Thank you

Really enjoy you'all content....keep up the good work
Loving the Vietnam videos! Your last few videos have been great!
Thank you so much! ❤
I oughtta say your videos are one of the best to show off Vietnam. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!
You guys are having so much fun 🤩, Adam losing fish, very consistent 😂😂😂. I always love your videos, very touching, down to earth and amazingly beautiful ! Be safe out there and enjoy your time in Vietnam! ❤❤❤
hahaha unfortunately very on brand! Thank you and thanks for watching!
You two outdid yourselves with this video. I will never visit these places yet for 33 minutes I was immersed in their beauty and buoyed by your joy and enthusiasm. This was fun and thanks for sharing! Hope that lantern makes it home!
Thank you so much, Carey! Hoi An was so special!
We have less than a week until we're back and it's held up great so far! Almost there!
wow! great video. great visuals, very organized. cant appreciate it enough. very easy to learn your trip and how to use it on my next trip.
Thank you so much!
Loved the video!! Really great recommendations.
Y'all put in a lot of work into your videos and it shows! Looking forward to the Singapore vlog :)
Thank you and thanks for watching!

Thank you! ❤️❤️
You made me miss my country a lot more . . .
Enjoy the good foods & the
beautiful climate .
💖💖💖💖💖😘😘
We had a great time in Vietnam! Thanks for watching!
Your adventure with Hội An look so much fun. I’ll take my kids there…
It’s a great place for kids! Thanks and thanks for watching!
This is my home country! Hope you guys are enjoying your time there! Love your videos!
We are having a wonderful time! Thank you and thanks for watching!
One of the best video on Hoi An ❤
looks like you guys having a blast in Hoi An. All the dishes looks amazing ! that Hotel is to die for esp for that price. will definitely stay there when i get a chance to visit my country again. Oh and if you guys are advanterous, visit the World longest underground cave in Vietnam (was documentated on national geographic)
Hoi An was so amazing! It would be hard to beat the Paddy Boutique House
Ya that cave comes with a HEFTY price tag, but we are did something similar! Stay tuned!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Thanks for the day A and K!
that spinning whatever looks so awesome.
One of things I liked best about Hoi An was the kites! World class. 40 foot blue shall kites and the like. See by bike ride through the rice fields with workers sitting on the backs of water buffaloes.
Yeah the kites were very neat! Love Hoi An!
Ah man, you guys are making me so hungry right now! My mouth started watering when you guys were eating the food their at the end with that sauce.
The food in Vietnam has been so freaking good!
That bridge was incredible! I love when you can still interact with buildings or fixtures from long ago that are not only will standing but still used. That tea sounded amazing! I'm a coffee person too but I'd switch up for a day if I had access to that! Tan Ky looks like it was built in much more recent times, crazy how it's so well preserved still today. Especially with it being flooded so often! The scenery looks awesome! Night markets? That would be so fun! I feel like if you're seeing lots of locals at a place to eat that's gotta be the places to go to. Super curious to try mango and Nutella now, I honestly would've gone the banana and Nutella route if I were choosing blindly. I got exhausted just watching the spinning basket boat person! That's got to take a lot of core strength and dexterity! Adam seemed like he was doing his best to not get sick 😂. I'm not much for activities like the lantern making because social anxiety is heavy, but I would've been upset if I had the opportunity and then backed out. Your lantern looks great! It's so green on the bike ride it looks fake! So beautiful there! Many thanks for how you documented this place! Much love A+K!
All the history there was so amazing! We could drink that tea every day! So dang good! The night market was a ton of fun! Yes when you see locals eating at a place that's for sure going to be a good spot! The lantern making class was really chill! It was easy to keep to yourself and get help when needed. Thanks so much, Micheal!
Bánh Xèo my fave! 🤤 Hôi An Looks amazing
Good job. Made me wanna visit now.
What amazing visit
that basket boat ride looked so fun but scary at the same time 😂
Thank you for sharing your moments
Looks like your really enjoying yourselves 👍
Nice video as usual. Very well documented of spots in VN. So rare. Just subscribe to your channel.
❤️❤️
I love History…Hoi An is a charming Town. Vietnamese foods are fresh, low calories, cheap, and delicious 😋.
We looove Vietnamese food! We did before this trip, but now that we've had authentic stuff we love it even more! Hoi An was spectacular!
Thank you for sharing. Borned in danang then lived in saigon I can say you have experienced just like locals. Great video!
Thanks and thanks for watching! ❤️
Discovered your channel a few months ago, nowadays can't wait for your next video :)
Thanks, Luke!
Hey there, we’re in Hoi An right now and having lunch at Baby Mustard, thanks so much for the video and restaurant recommendation!!
That’s awesome! Hope y’all are having a wonderful time!
Hoi An is so beautiful through your video. 🥰
Thank you! ❤
That was a great video :) Planning a trip to Vietnam, so I was taking notes :)
Thank you so much! Check out our website where we just published TONS of helpful content about our trip including an ebook!
Thanks for watching!
wonderful places, fantastic!!
I am thoroughly enjoying watching your Vietnam series guys! Just came back yesterday after a wonderful week in Arizona. Went to a few of your recommended places. The chai spot was epic ! Loved the humongous cookie in Mt. Lemmon and the great hike to Devil’s Bridge. Missed the Sonoran Hot Dog though 😢. Next time:)
We're glad you had a wonderful time! Thanks for watching!
so beautiful!!!
The boat driver is a real thrill-seeker
i love the energy!!
Alex.... When you were Body Surfing in the waves, you were FREE ! Unlike when you were trying to use a surfboard 😎. Not dogging the surfboard training, just observing the Joy of the body surfing. 💖🤗
Not sure how well I was body surfing, but it was a ton of fun and much easier than surfing! 😂
