Hidden Gems of Old Hoi An – Food & Cultural Walking Tour
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
This isn’t just a food tour — it’s a slow, meaningful walk into the real life of Hoi An.
Unlike typical tours focused only on tasting, this experience takes you beyond the busy streets into hidden neighborhoods where local families live, cook, and create their daily lives.
You won’t just try dishes — you’ll understand the stories, traditions, and people behind them.
With a small group, we keep things personal, relaxed, and genuine — more like exploring with a local friend than joining a tour.
This is a heartfelt introduction to the soul of Hoi An.

5.00Myself and my wife had an excellent tour tonight with Thuy. A superb tour guide who is proud to show off her local area, local produce and local eateries. Amazing knowledge above what you'd get from a normal tour guide. Thuy was passionate about her home and showed us the journey from field to plate of the local speciality dish. We learnt history, saw several 'factories' and enjoyed an array of local delicacies. The tour even catered for those with food intolerances with no issues. 100% recommend.

5.00We all had an enjoyable and educational tour of the back streets of Hoi An. Tried a variety of local unexpected delicacies. The tour was lead at a relaxed pace with plenty of memories being made along the way. Kiwi, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and generous with her time and ensuring we were all catered for. Would highly recommend. I enjoyed the soursop smoothie, noodles, the local fruits, black sesame porridge and cafe moi 😋

5.00I had the best afternoon with Swan and my group. She showed all old gems of the city, we visited family businesses, went to market and she showed the real life of people in Hoi An. Don’t forget every piece of clothing you own is made by another person, not by a machine.
