5.00There would have been no other way for foreigners like us to experience what we did. Our guide took us to home factories that have been making noodles, growing bean sprouts & handmaking treats in Hoi An since olden times. We walked through narrow streets & ancient alleyways, we met the families. It was an amazing adventure.

5.00We had a truly memorable time on the Hidden Gems tour. Kiwi led our family to many interesting and beautiful places to learn about small family food operations, many having existed for generations. Our intimate encounters with these culinary artisans took us from small homes to street markets, cafes and local eateries, and we tried many foods we would never have found on our own. Walking between each destination was in itself a special experience, as Kiwi guided us through secret alleys away from the crowded streets. Kiwi was so knowledgeable, personable, and helpful, going the extra mile to make the experience informative and enjoyable. She sent us amazing pictures she took during the tour and was even able to accommodate two vegans in our group. We feel like we got a literal taste of the special cuisines and traditions that make Hoi An a distinctive, flavorful and friendly place to explore.
Amazing morning food tour with Kiwi

5.00The morning tour with Kiwi was such an amazing experience. It started with Kiwi being so knowledgeable, kind and attentive. But even more than this it was clear that she had a strong history and love for the people she introduced me to during our tour. Their respect for her put in a position where I felt like I was a welcome guest more than a paying tourist. It was a delightful experience to meet the people, see their amazing craftsmanship (often handed down for generations) and to be able to explore and partake in so many different food experiences. With Kiwi I felt comfortable trying many things I might hesitate to approach on my own simply for not knowing what was being offered. Kiwi bridged that gap for me and I was rewarded with a special and meaningful Ha Noi experience. Thank you Kiwi!
Beautiful

5.00Through this tour, I feel like I was able to learn about a part of Vietnam and remember the virtues, way of life, and purity that I had almost forgotten. The people have such beautiful hearts that I think they will stay in my memory forever. Cảm ơn
