What To Expect
Hoi An
Our lunchtime food tour invites guests on a culinary experience around Hoi An. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of professional food guides. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, & the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian diets sorry, as there would be 3-4 less tastings. ✖️ Unsuitable for severe allergies, halal and celiac diets, due to the risk of traces & cross-contamination. If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!
Hoi An
Most tourists only scratch the surface of Hoi An’s food traditions; our 15+ taster tour dives into the culinary underbelly of the Ancient Town and the local village of Tra Que. Morning starts in the bustle of the market, hunting down the food heroes once championed by Anthony Bourdain - tossing chewy bánh bot loc dumplings in a flavorful broth. Next, we stop by Mr. Ly’s stall, he’s been up since the early hours crafting Vietnamese "wedding dumplings," delicately bundled in green banana leaves. From herby clam salad to steamy wonton soup, we're uncovering the bowls that have fed hungry locals for decades. Try the Hoi An original cao lâu noodles, whose ingredients were forged in the pestle and mortar of history, migrating here alongside the ambition of Chinese and Japanese mercantile trade.

5.00Such a cool, standout experience and variety of dishes. Thanks so much to our guide Quin; her local knowledge, passion, friendliness, & humour made the tour even more special. Amazing range of fresh local flavours, dishes, and locations that we would never have found or thought to try on our own. Having done a few Chefs Tours in different cities & countries now, Hoi An is a major highlight. Book it and arrive hungry 🤩!

5.00We had an amazing tour guide with Quin! The food was incredible, PLENTIFUL (so stuffed), and she was a fun and knowledgeable guide! The tour included more dishes than I can remember and they were all authentic, Hoi An cuisine. There was a combination of walking as well as taking a tram ride (which we all loved for a breezy break from the heat) to visit herb and vegetable fields followed by a scenic stop on the river. I would absolutely recommend this tour and Quin as your guide! Come hungry!!!
Yum yum yum

5.00Amazing time with our tour guide Quin. She took us outside of the main area of town to some very authentic places that you wouldn’t find on your own. Bring an empty stomach. There were many delicious courses which highlighted the unique cuisine which is specific to Hoi An. 10/10.

5.00It was a great experience with tour guide Andy - so much insights on the local food scene and operators in Hoi An . Great hands on experience with the rice paper making and love the farm to fork lunch. Amazing experience and I would 100% recommend this tour and start with an empty stomach
Loved our experience

5.00We had an excellent time on our food tour with Quinn. It was a warm day but Quinn made sure we had shady spots to enjoy our food and kept us well hydrated. I particularly love that she celebrated food with history and origins in Hoi A rather than Vietnamese food that become more popular overseas. Would highly recommend, particularly as a good experience!

5.00Having been on the “Chef’s Tour” in Penang, we trusted this Hoi An tour would be great, and we were not disappointed! Even my picky five year old enjoyed all the bites! Quin was such a fantastic guide - She explained the ins and outs of Hoi An, the history, and so many fun details about the food. We had a really wonderful time, and would certainly book again!
Glad we tasted so much of Hoi An!
