Hoi An back streets, excellent tour and guide

5.00Excellent individualised tour with Swan. This takes you into the back streets you’d never find yourself. We learnt the traditional methods of 3rd and 4th generation mung bean harvesting and noodle making. The foods were delicious as we ate with the locals well away from the tourist areas. Authentic Hoi A made very memorable by Swan. Highly recommend her as your guide.
Must do experience in Hoi An

5.00Kim was a very kind guide 😉, with knowledge and passion about the topics! We met a 200-year-old Cao Lầu factory run by 4 generations of a family, showed us the process of obtaining mung sprouts, strolled around the local market and, tasted typical Hoi An meals and desserts 😊. Super recommended! ✨
Truly fantastic tour!

5.00Fantastic Hoi An Food Tour 🍜 We had a wonderful experience exploring Hoi An through its food! The tour was very well organized and took us to several authentic local spots that we would never have found on our own. Everything was delicious – from fresh Vietnamese pancakes to amazing noodles and local desserts. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting stories about the city and its food culture. It was a perfect mix of walking, tasting, and learning about Vietnamese cuisine. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hoi An who wants to experience real local food and culture!

5.00Our participation in the Hidden Gems Tour in Hoi An was absolutely fantastic – truly an amazing experience from start to finish. Kiwi and Thuy were incredibly warm, welcoming, and passionate guides. With great enthusiasm and deep knowledge, they shared fascinating insights about the region, its culture, and especially its national and local specialties. You could really feel how much care and love they put into the tour, and they made sure we felt comfortable and well looked after the entire time. One of the highlights was visiting two local factories, where we learned a lot about regional products and how they are made. The explanations were very informative and engaging, giving us a much deeper understanding of local traditions and specialties. The tour was also perfectly rounded off with wonderful culinary stops at carefully selected local spots, where we enjoyed incredibly delicious food. Every stop was a highlight in its own way. The atmosphere throughout the tour was fantastic. The vibe was relaxed and joyful, the group was small, and everything felt very personal and thoughtfully organized. Kiwi and Thuy took great care of us, and we always felt very well looked after. We had such a wonderful time and can highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hoi An who wants to discover the area in an authentic, informative, and delicious way.
