Hoi An Food Tour by walking

Phuong was incredible and she made the tour amazing. Her knowledge of the places we went and the stories behind the food was inspiring and made the adventure that much more enjoyable. We ended the night with full bellies and big smiles on our faces. Highly recommended!

We were greeted by our tour guide Phuong who was a delight from beginning to end. She is very knowledgeable, engaging and friendly. The food sampled is a mix of popular foods as well as less known local delicacies. The tour takes you to numerous local houses that specialise is particular dishes. Without this tour you would never know they existed! You get a real insight into Vietnamese local life, in addition to meeting some absolutely lovely vendors and hosts in the process. Highly recommended. And when you are told to come hungry, this is no joke. The amount of food you get is outrageous!!! Bring your stretchy pants!

Our guide Phuong was super professional and guided us through the hustle and bustle as well as the quaint back streets of Hoi An. A feast for all senses. The restaurants and food stalls visited were off the beaten tourist track and the food fresh and authentic.
We went with a 4.5 year old toddler and she had an absolute blast too.
Our guide spoke fluently English and was very knowledgable about her city, cuisine and local traditions.
All in all a wonderful experience.
One piece of advice, do go on an empty stomach, the portions are generous and delicious.

I arrived to Hoi An in the middle of the day with an empty stomach, no plans/bookings other than my hotel. I was lucky enough to find this through an online search and they happened to have a guide available on super short notice.

Long (Short) who was my guide arrived early at my hotel and got a plate of food and coffee in front of me within minutes. We visited I believe 6 or 7 locations (I lost track) and ate several dishes. Some locations had 2 dishes and others 1. Almost everything I tried was either new to me or a different version of a dish I had already tried up north. Everything was delicious! I was so full that had it not been for our walks between restaurants I don’t think I would have been able to finish the tour. Come hungry!!!

Besides the yummy local food, my guide was incredible. He described every dish to me and how it is prepared. Short made me feel as though I could ask him anything. He was so sweet and helpful with recommendations within the town and travel within Vietnam. I got a better sense of the town beyond the touristy street my hotel was located on. I learned a lot about the history of Vietnam and what an interesting nation it is, filled with incredible people. I wish I could have him as a guide for an entire day because I truly enjoyed walking around and eating my way through the town. This will be an incredible memory for me to remember Hoi An by. I wish you and their guide Short lots of success!

We were lucky to have Phoung for our guide. We had a lovely time , especially at a local host house where we had some local dishes. Each dish was clearly explained, including what’s in each dish and how to eat it. sorry for missing photos for what we had. too busy eating. The guide was also very friendly besides eating, we caught the view of Hoi An from a rooftop cafe, strolled leisurely along the riverbank and night market, had a boat ride and the night ended with a lively and entertaining communal game of local bingo with other visitors. Ms. Phoung was engaging throughout the tour, making the effort to speak to everyone on the tour, even the quieter ones. We were on the tour with a Korean family and both families enjoyed ourselves a lot.
