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.

5.00Amazing experience! Highly recommend the early morning tour as we got to see the local life wake and how fresh noodles are hand made in a traditional way, ready for the market. Great tour that included eats at very local spots. Thuy was an excellent guide, she brought everything to life with the local stories she shared, her love for Hoi An conveyed the beauty of Hoi An, and she always considered our needs. Blessed to have had Thuy show us a special side of Hoi An!

5.00I loved this tour. Ms Thuy was not only a sweetheart but also very knowledgeable about Hoi An food culture and the people involved in the making of our food. The places she took us to were very local and not touristy. I highly recommend booking this tour, whether you’re traveling solo or with friends or even as a family.
