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.

5.00THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO BOOK THIS TOUR! What an amazing experience with Kim! An authentic view of Hoi An unlike any other. We learned all about how classic dishes are made by hardworking, traditional workers. Small group was great, no massive tourist group. The food and coffee were DELICIOUS! The best food we had in Hoi An while exploring off the beaten path. Would recommend this tour to anyone 1000 times over. THANK YOU KIM!!! You made the tour special and it wouldn’t have been the same without you!
A must-do when in Hoi An!

5.00Wow, what an incredible experience! This is one of the best tours I have ever done. I was lucky enough to be the only person in my group, so I had an incredible time one-on-one with my guide Thuy, who was just amazing and shared so much interesting history and cultural context. I did the morning tour and it was so special getting to see the real daily life of the local and be welcomed into their homes and factories to learn. And all the food was very, very good! I HIGHLY recommend this tour—you will have a fantastic time and learn so much! Ask for Thuy, she is a gem!!

5.00My guide Swan was very friendly and sweet! She showed me around many hidden alleys and fed me very well along the way. I’m very full at the end of the tour 😆 Swan also took a lot of great photos - good memories to look back on! This tour route is definitely off the beaten path. I would recommend if you have half day free time in Hoi An and want to explore some authentic local lifestyle.
Do it! So worth it!

5.00I’m so happy that I was able to join the Hidden Gem of Old Hanoi tour. It was so much fun!! Swan was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, hardworking, and full of energy, always with a smile. She was also super attentive, and the tour itself was thoughtfully designed to create great memories, lots of photos, plenty of tastings, and even a heartwarming gift at the end. I learned not only about the food but also about Hanoi and Vietnamese culture and history. One of the highlights was having a Hanoi specialty noodle, Cao Lau, at a restaurant that uses ingredients from the places we visited during the tour. The tour feeds you well too, I left with a very happy, full stomach! 🤤 So if you’re thinking about doing it, DEFINITELY do it! But make sure you come hungry! 😂
Highly Recommend!

5.00We had an amazing experience exploring Da Nang with Swan! She is incredibly knowledgeable and has clearly put a lot of heart into the itinerary. The tour is meticulously planned; every stop feels intentional and builds perfectly toward the main dishes. What sets this tour apart is the seamless blend of Vietnamese history and culture. There was never a dull moment; Swan kept the entire group engaged and the conversation interesting from start to finish. It’s the perfect balance—you learn so much without it feeling like a lecture, and there is enough time to walk and digest between food spots. Swan is extremely detail-oriented and even surprised us with thoughtful gifts at the end. If you want a well-paced tour in Da Nang, this is it!
