5.00I highly recommend the Hoi An sunset walking food tour. My guide Thanh ⭐️⭐️⭐️ was really good and shared lots of information about Hoi An and its food and history. We ate a fantastic selection of great food and drinks from the market, local restaurants, road side stalls and hidden restaurants away from the main tourist areas and had the opportunity to see what and how the local Hoi Ans eat. We finished down at the waterfront to see the beautiful lanterns and boats on the river. It was a wonderful opportunity to have Thanh as my guide as he is a local and knows Hoi An inside out. The tour was really well paced and we finished the tour with a delicious mango 🥭 icecream.
