Highlights
  • Hội An Post Office - We will meet our guide there.

  • Hoi An Ancient Town - First up – a local bakery that has been making the tastiest banh mi in town for many generations. They use the freshest local ingredients and are famous for their banh mi, a scrumptious sandwich that will fire up your taste buds and get them ready for the flavours ahead! From one local fave to another, next we’ll join locals at a small eatery, taking a seat on the ubiquitous small plastic chairs and sampling tasty BBQ pork rolled with rice paper and fresh herbs. Served with typical soya dipping sauce, this dish is one of the highlights of the local food scene and an absolute must-devour.

  • Hoi An Ancient Town - Our food tour of Hoi An continues into the atmospheric heart of the local taste as we head straight for the local eating spots. Your knowledgeable local guide will walk you through the colorful array of ingredients, filling you in on the most popular dishes in Hoi An and the significance of these foods to the traditional culture of central Vietnam.
    From here, we’ll dig even deeper into the local food scene, passing through a maze of tiny alleys to emerge at one of our fave (secret) restaurants in Hoi An, where we’ll sample the Hoi An’s specialties: Cao Lau local noodles with pork and a nice wonderful sesame and peanut hot milk.

  • Hoi An Ancient Town - Believe it or not, there’s more food to come! Our Hoi An food tour continues to another selection of food. Be sure to save space though, as we still have yet another treat in store for dessert and a local beer.
    We’ll finish our Hoi An food adventure at a local hideouts bar of the town which you will have a chance to taste the local infused sake and reflect on your fave dishes of the evening (if you can pick!)

Great food tour in Hoi An - Great food experience in Hoi An! We were afraid that food stalls would be closer to the busy and very touristic city centre but we were taken further back and went on more authentic food stalls. Amazing food in very local places! Bong was a great guide and explained with great knowledge and patience! Highly recommended.

Perfect intro to Hoi An Street food - I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Hoi An! We did this on night 2 of 8 in Hoi An and it was the perfect tour. Our local guide Bong had strong knowledge of local food, people and history and she was more than willing to share this with us. The food was delicious! We were given to chance to try a variety of local foods and were also given recommendations of places to try on another day. We enjoyed fresh local food by the river and watched the sunset. Bong was very friendly and easy to get along with, thank you Bong for a great, yummy experience!! Strong English speaking also which made the tour incredibly easy.

Hoi An Food Adventure - Our guide Jasmine was great, providing a background to the food we were eating and local customs, life and snippets of historical information as well. The food was amazing, and I would not have tried some of it without this tour. Starting with meat skewers sitting on small stools on the sidewalk and finishing with a coconut coffee, best served iced according to Jasime, it was all great. My highlight was sitting in the courtyard of a local family trying black sesame sweet soup. Would recommend to anyone visiting Hoi An.

Hoi An evening food tour - Bong took me on an amazing adventure through small streets sampling several Hoi An delicacies. We visited a family home, sampled street food, brown noodles, warm soy drink and visited the home of a 100 year old local who makes black sesame seed dessert. Bong was great to chat to and I enjoyed her company. Definitely end your adventure with a pomelo cold tea!

A must do - Excellent experience, shown the food vendors you maybe wouldn’t usually find and the traditional way of eating plus full explanation of ingredients and how to cook, ideal for a first evening to see the town and learn your way around. Really special and worth the tour. Our host Bông was absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended
