An unforgettable night of stories, flavors, and hidden gems

5.00Hoi An Secret Cocktails was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. Tien and Chelsea are incredible hosts who are warm, knowledgeable, and full of personality. They not only know their drinks but also know Hoi An inside and out. The evening felt like a magical journey. We wandered through charming alleys, rode on boats under lantern-lit skies, and sipped beautifully crafted cocktails that each told a story. Every drink was paired with delicious bites and fascinating pieces of Hoi An’s history and culture. We started at 5 PM and somehow the time just flew by. By the time we wrapped up around 11, it felt like we had shared a night with old friends. If you want to experience the real soul of Hoi An, its flavors, stories, and secret corners, this tour is a must.
Must go in Hoi an!

5.00We had Chelsea and Tien as our guides, and it was fun. They were knowledgeable and made the night entertaining! I do not want to share the elements, but all the bars were interesting and had such good vibes. My personal favourite was the last stop, where we felt like we had the entire bar to ourselves, and the bartender had such great hospitality. Recommend this to everyone!
One of the best travel experiences I have ever had!

5.00What an amazing experience. It was my first time with the Secret Eats & I honestly didn’t know what to expect. My host for the night, Leo, exceeded my expectations. He was knowledgeable, warm & authentic. We had deep convos which I totally didn’t expect for two strangers meeting for the first time. Great selections on all the places we went & I honestly can’t wait to go back. All in all, definitely a must try activity if you are in Hoi An. It is by far one of the best travel experiences I have ever done in my life & I look forward to trying out the activities again in different cities in the future
A must do to see another side of the old town and have some tasty cocktails

5.00Great way to see the old town and some cool spots that you would never know existed. Guide was great, very friendly and passionate about what he does. 10 out of 10 would recommend and he booked this due to a recommendation from a friend. Had such a good time we arranged another event to have dinner in one of the restaurants visited in the tour. One thing I would highlight is you also get alot of food. We are before we went but would recommend you go a little hungry.
An outstanding memory!

5.00We experienced the secret cocktail experience with our guide Tien and our entire group absolutely LOVED it. It was truly the highlight of our time in Hoi An as we saw more of the old Town, enjoyed drinks in very unique locations we never would have known about and ate local tapas we never would have known to order. Tien was incredibly knowledgeable about the local food and culture and he was great fun!
An excellent experience from beginning to end

Each cocktail was unique and delicious, as were the tapas. Tien was very easy to talk to and told great stories about HoiAn’s history. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits HoiAn!

5.00I’m so glad I booked this tour. Such a great way to experience Hoi An by night. Tien took me took to some incredible places I would never have known to go to otherwise. Each one was unique in its own way and the cocktails and snacks were delicious. I loved the surprise element of the evening and not knowing what to expect next. I recommend this tour to anyone looking for something a bit different to do while in Hoi An and to hear some great stories. This will be a highlight from my trip for sure.
