5.00Even after nearly two weeks in Vietnam without booking tours, I’m so glad I chose this Hidden Gems experience in Hoi An. It exceeded every expectation. We visited local artisans, including a bean sprout maker and a traditional noodle house, and it was incredible seeing generations continue their craft. The market stops were a highlight—authentic banh mi, an amazing ambarella drink, and a memorable sesame dessert. We also visited rice fields, had tea and coffee, and even learned about local spiritual traditions. What truly made this experience special was our guide, Thuy. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the tour feel like a genuine conversation rather than a scripted experience. With such a small group, it felt personal and immersive. I’m genuinely grateful I found this tour and highly recommend it.
Fabulous experience with Thuy

5.00I did the Hidden Gems tour with Thuy and it was fantastic. I was lucky to be paired with another lovely solo traveler and it was like 3 friends walking around chatting - so much fun! Lots of great information, good to try and hard working locals to meet. 100 % recommend - thank you Thuy!
There’s so much more to Hoi An…

5.00Swan gave an amazing tour that included visiting local factories where we learned how ingredients were created, then took us through several hidden alleys and several delicious snacks, until finally we tried Hoi An’s signature dish, which uses the ingredients we had learned about! And that was before dessert! So good to see beyond Old Town and discover hidden alleys in local neighborhoods, all with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. So happy we took this tour!
