Our Story

I am a French expat living in Southeast Asia, and I fell in love with the heritage cities of this region: Penang, Malacca, and Hoi An. Each one is a living museum where Japanese, Chinese, and European merchants once traded silk and spices along the Thu Bon River.

Every time friends came to visit, they asked the same question: “How do I explore on my own without missing the important stuff?” There was no good self-guided tour option. Hiring a guide was expensive. Guidebooks were static. Walking alone meant missing the stories hiding behind every facade.

So I built this. Hoi An Heritage Walk is a passion project to democratize heritage tourism. I want every visitor to understand the 400 years of incredible history around them, at their own pace, in their own language.

Expanded from Malaysia to Hoi An. Audio guides are available in 8 languages so that language is never a barrier to understanding history.
