The idea behind our tour is simple:in Hoi An there are around 120 restaurants catering to visitors with another 400 or so vendors and eating establishments catering to locals with foods that don’t usually appear on visitor menus. This is the food of the local Hoi An people - some call it street food - many with recipes passed down from generation to generation. Our tour gives visitors a safe opportunity to try these foods – we ensure the food is handled hygienically and provide a comfortable venue for the tastings. « less

We didn't stop eating from 7.30am until 12.30pm, tried many of the local foods and drinks and were... More

We did this on the first day in Hoi An after booking a couple of months in advance. Our 11 and 8 year old boys also really enjoyed this and tasted all 41 foods. Neville was fantastic at educating and engaging everyone about the local Vietnamese food, culture and people. We took Neville's advice on where to eat, tailors, shoes... More

Do this tour upon your arrival in HoiAn. You will pick up a lot of tips about the local cuisine. It will educate you very quickly about where some of the best secret hidden gem eating places are. Like the best Bahn Mi from the Bahn Mi Queen. Simply awesome. Or the beach shack that dishes up mud crab in... More
