Came for the food, went back with a friend - You must think that the most important part of a food tour is the food, which is true. I agree. But, I feel the guide is as important. Someone who can tell you the history and stories behind the food and it's people and also know the people. I was the only person at this food tour and my guide was Khieu who loves people, food and history. She's this ball of energy who took me around the old town, told me the stories behind the food. I don't think I'd have gone to these places and tried the food if it wasn't for this tour. Everything I had on the tour was delicious and had so much flavour. Khieu made the tour fun and by the end of the tour I had a full tummy and a friend. I highly recommend going for this tour! Do it on your first day here.

Do it! A brilliant experience - We had a fantastic time with Kun who was so knowledgeable, friendly and funny. We had some amazing food and got to try lots of fruits and coconut products in the market, Kun seems to know everyone! We also got to visit the kitchen of a family famous for their dish. I’ve done a few food tours whilst travelling and this one was by far the best so far, enjoy!

Great vegan introduction to hoi an - It was a really good experience. June was a really great tour host and gave us lots of fun information! My only complaint was that you spend a lot of money for food and drinks but the budget for drinks is 20k so that was disappointing but everything else spectacular! Thank you June :)

Great vegan food tour, loved it! - As I was travelling solo it was lovely to join the tour with a vegan family who didn't make me feel like a 4th wheel! We tried lots of delicious foods, from banh mi to mango cake to finishing up at a tea cafe with the most delicious mung bean cake ever. Thoroughly recommend this trip, our guide was the best! Thank you :)

Hoi An vegan delights! - Our vegan food tour with Nguyen was the best ! Not only is Nguyen a fellow vegan she easily catered to my gluten free requirement as I have celiac disease. The food stops were local and inspired and oh so flavorful. We learned so much from Nguyen and loved every moment.

Not Just For Vegans - Super tour. We tried around 14 foods that we had never experienced before. They varied between interesting and fabulous. Our host Nguyen was both charming and enthusiastic. I would recommend this tour to all lovers of food , not just vegans
