What are people saying about Hoi An

ELYSE_W, Jul 2026

Really amazing food and kind funny teacher!

I definitely recommend Lily's cooking class!! This was truly one of the best meals I've had my whole trip, it was so fresh and amazing. Lily picks up the fresh ingredients every morning before the class. Lily is really nice, funny, warm, and speaks perfect english so I really feel I understood the point of everything we were doing. You get a van that picks you up and drops you back off so no worries about getting there, and she sends you a self-made cookbook after with all the recipes! You try spring rolls, banh xeo (in fresh rolls), pho, papaya salad, and your own dipping sauce. Book directly with her if you can, and definitely do this tour!

Cooking with Hi

Had a great experience and Hi was an amazing guide! He explained the produce in the markets and each step of the cooking so detailed that you can tell he loves the food. The spring rolls, bahn xeo and papaya salad were delicious! Cannot wait to go home and make the meals. Coconut bamboo boats were fun, but had the most fun cooking.

We had THE BEST TIME with Tinh, he was an amazing guide not only to unique local spots but also was fun and interesting and told us all about local culture. We had four great cocktails at different unique local places which were also all delicious. Very great tour for anyone visiting Hoi An and I would highly recommend.

Hidden Gems of Old Hoi An – Food & Cultural Walking Tour

Polina_M, Jun 2026

Great way to explore Hoi An!

It’s a great tour if you want to see ‘behind the scenes’ in Hoi An - experience the life and culture of the town and local food, and learn more about Vietnamese culture from the locals. The two small businesses we visited were very unexpected. We also tried a lot of great food. Really enjoyed this long walking tour with Swan and Thuy!

Hoi An Riverside Cooking Class(Local market,Basket Boat,Fishing)

Yiyang_Y, May 2026

Amazing experience. Highly recommended!

YES CHEF! Tram was an amazing person to do this tour with, very lovely experience. I would highly recommend this tour, she is very enthusiastic, knowledgeable about the Vietnamese foods that we made and has many years of experience! Every dime spent on this tour is worth your time!!! Our day started off at the local markets where we picked out ingredients for the dishes we were going to cook down later the day, she told us the purpose and intention behind each ingredient, it was a very thrilling and educational experience. Next, we took a car ride and then visited her place & did the coconut boat ride. The ride was very fun, with friendly boat staff that took us around the river. We then went back, took a break and started our cooking class! The cooking class was very fun, engaging & Tram was very fun to communicate and talk with! At the end, we had the food we ate, along with some cheap paid drinks (beer/soft drinks). Overall a great experience, and would definitely come back to do something like this next time I am back in Vietnam.

HOI AN Hidden Gems in Rural Villages & River Islands PRIVATE TOUR

Ebony_G, May 2026

Private, authentic rural village tour through Hoi An

We had a beautiful afternoon driving around Hoi An with our guide, Thanh. She shared very authentic local stories that helped us gain insight into Vietnamese life and helped translate our conversations with the local people to allow us to be immersed in the activities. We found the variety of local activities a stand out & the private tour allowed us to go at a pace that was far more suited to our needs, as opposed to be on a large tour with a tight schedule. If possible take some cash to either buy their local goods and/or tip the local people, a little bit goes a long way for them & their families.

Hoi An Night Market with Hoi an walking Tour , Colourful Lanterns, Boat Ride

Nathan_S, Mar 2026

Hoi An exceeded our expectations.

We had a wonderful tour of Hoi An with our guide Vân. The city’s beauty exceeded our expectations. It’s really stunning. With that beauty, however, there were a lot of other people who wanted to see it and it got very crowded as evening approached. As the city filled up with people, Vân kept us one step ahead of the crowds. She knew right when to get us on the boat to avoid long lines. We waited only a few minutes to get on the boat, but there were super long lines waiting when we got off. She was extremely nice and really helped us to understand Hoi An and the local people and culture with stories of her childhood in Hoi An. We were very glad to have her as our guide. We highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to visit Hoi An for the first time.

Amazing My Son Sunset Deluxe Small Group tour

Phuong_N, Mar 2026

I had an amazing time...

I had an amazing time from start to finish! The tour guide Bien is super knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They kept the group smaller (<10 people) so it felt that we dont have to wait around too much. They even gave you a banh mi with the boat ride at the end. 10/10 would recommend! Dont forget to tip your bus driver, tour guide and boat driver.

Excellent experience with Rin

I had an excellent experience with Rin. He is incredibly patient, professional, and very talented. He took so many beautiful photos at every location and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. He even helped by holding my bag, which really shows how thoughtful and supportive he is. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great photographer.

Fantastic, Family Run Experience!

This was such a fun and wholesome coffee making class and great value for money (you make 5 coffees and get given a surprise gift at the end). The family who run the class are so lovely, knowledgable and funny - they made the class engaging and I would reccomend it to anyone visiting Hoi An.
