We really enjoyed the street food tour and got to taste amazing Vietnamese dishes from local stalls we probably wouldn’t have tried on our own. Tommy shared plenty of insights into the food culture and supported his explanations with photos along the way.

If you want amazing food and the company of a wonderfully kind, thoughtful snd warm guide, book this tour with Andy. Ended up being a private tour as I was the only one with Andy. I was in great hands—he even walked me to my hotel.

As a woman travelling solo from Europe/ the US, feeling safe and comfortable is always my top priority. This tour exceeded my expectations in that way. The group was small and well balanced, and the guide was attentive without being overbearing. Walking through Hoi An at night felt calm and organised, even in quieter areas. Sharing local food and stories created a friendly atmosphere where it was easy to connect or just enjoy the walk on your own. I felt relaxed the entire evening and would confidently recommend this tour to other solo female travellers. I really liked the tour guide 😂

One of the highlights for me was the slower moments — sitting inside an old house for tea, listening to stories about family life and traditions, and observing the rhythm of the town at night. It felt intimate and authentic.

This night walk felt very different from typical food tours we’ve done before. Instead of rushing between busy spots, we explored quieter alleys and softly lit heritage areas, which made the experience feel more personal. The food tastings were well paced and thoughtfully chosen, giving us a real sense of local flavours without feeling too full or overwhelmed. What stood out most was the storytelling; learning about Hoi An’s history, daily life, and traditions added depth to every stop. Ending the evening in a peaceful courtyard with tea was a lovely way to slow down. A gentle, intimate way to experience Hoi An after dark.

It's been a week since I joined this tour, but I still feel satisfied with the trip.We really enjoyed how easygoing and personal this night food walk felt. The pace was relaxed, with plenty of time to enjoy each stop and chat with the group. I loved discovering simple, everyday street food that locals actually eat, especially the banh xeo and grilled snacks that were tasty without being expensive. Walking through small alleys under lantern light gave the evening a calm, special atmosphere. The guide was engaging and humorous, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It felt less like a tour and more like exploring Hoi An with friends.

This night food walk turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of our stay in Hoi An. We joined the tour hoping to taste some local dishes, but what we got was a deeper understanding of the town itself. Our guide met us just outside the Old Town and immediately led us away from the busy streets into quiet alleys lit by lanterns. We stopped at several small, family-run eateries where locals were having dinner. Every dish came with a story — from why cao lau noodles can only truly be made in Hoi An, to how certain snacks are traditionally enjoyed in the evening. One unexpected highlight was being invited into an old house to enjoy traditional tea. It was calm, personal and felt like stepping back in time. The evening ended with releasing lanterns on the Hoai River, which was peaceful and surprisingly emotional. If you enjoy food, culture and slower, more meaningful travel experiences, I would absolutely recommend this tour.

This night walking tour was one of the highlights of our time in Hoi An. Exploring the lantern-lit streets and hidden alleys after dark felt magical and peaceful at the same time. The food tastings were varied and delicious, from local street snacks to the famous Hoi An noodle dish and crispy baguette. Our guide shared stories about the city’s history and culture that made each stop more meaningful. Ending the evening with herbal tea in a quiet courtyard was such a lovely touch. A relaxed, authentic way to experience Hoi An beyond the usual tourist spots. One more small thing: the tour guide was quite funny; it seems like all Vietnamese men are humorous 😂
