We had such an amazing tour with Jackie. She was so knowledgeable, kind, and went the extra mile to make our experience unforgettable. 10 out of 10.
Thuy , our guide , was very informative and all the food on this tour was delicious. We had a lovely time on the lantern boat, well worth doing
To not eat anything before it 😁
Absolutely loved this tour and would recommend anyone travelling to Hoi An to do it.
Jackie was fabulous as our tour guide and we didn’t want it to end.
Well co-ordinated. Our guide Thuy, was lovely and very knowledgeable in explaining the history of the town and the dishes we were trying and their origins. She was also very friendly.
Excellent easy paced food tour with many tastings, candle launching boat tour and Vietnamese bingo game. Great value for the cost.
The food was so delicious!
The guide was great-so knowledgeable, cheerful and happy to share his culture with us!
The boat ride was lovely and the local bingo game was fun to be able to participate in.
Delicious food and great company. Liked the smaller size for the tour (10 of us that day excluding the guide). The guide was very engaging and well organized, we tasted some amazing food and I was good and tired after.
This was so much fun! A great way to taste the specialities of Hoi An while meandering the streets and alleyways. Our guide was fantastic, the food delicious and plentiful and ending with the lantern boat ride was the cherry on the top. Highly recommend this tour
Excellent food tour on local delicacies along with lantern boat and fun bingo with folk song. A special mention on our tour guide, MS Thuy, who was excellent in explaining clearly
Quin was great! She was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The food was amazing also! Highly recommend her and this tour. Thanks again Quin!
Did the food tour with Kim. She was so enthusiastic and full of information. The food we sampled was really nice. I highly recommend this activity
We had a wonderful experience on the evening food tour in Hoi An with Emma! She was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about Vietnamese cuisine and local culture. Emma took us to hidden gems and popular local spots we never would have found on our own, and every dish we tried was absolutely delicious. She explained each food’s background and ingredients in a way that made the experience even more meaningful. What truly made the tour special was Emma’s enthusiasm and genuine care for her guests. She made everyone feel comfortable, answered all our questions, and shared great stories about life in Hoi An. Walking through the lantern-lit streets while enjoying amazing food was unforgettable. This tour was a highlight of our trip, and we highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for an authentic and fun food experience in Vietnam!
This was the second time I took this tour. Our guide was not as good this time around. Sadly the rain put a damper on some activities like bingo. It was fun but a little lackluster compared to the first time.
Good guide and gave you clear information about all the different foods. Due to rainy weather, unable to play the games, but wasn’t a big disappointment.
I really enjoyed this tour. You get to learn a lot about the old city of Hoi An, we even got to learn about the Chinese influence in the area. I enjoyed the bingo game at the end. I won a lantern. Our tour guide was very kind and explained so much about the culture in the history of Vietnam. I recommend anyone to do this tour
What a fun evening with our tour guide Jackie. She was a joy to be with on this tour. Her knowledge of the food, the places, people and the city was amazing. Not only were the food choices excellent but we also got to play a local "bingo" game and take a ride on a boat to release a lantern into the river. One of the best food tours we have taken (and we do many)!
Food tour is a must if you are in a country like Vietnam....loved it! Great hostess with local knowledge and an excellent variety x
Our guide Emma was great one explaining about culture and everything about Vietnam. She made it fun and interesting for us. I had more than enough food on the tour.
Excellent food tour… stuffed with goodness at the end… also our guide, Vu, was friendly, enthusiastic, and informative… we wanna go again!
I highly recommend this food tour! We ended up having a private tour with just my partner and I. Quin was our tour guide and she really made our experience enjoyable and educational on the foods and its background aswell as the Vietnamese language. It was a great introductory to Hoi An. The boat ride and Lantern experience was great and perfect amount of time on the river. I recommend doing at the start of your trip so you know the best places to go for the rest of your stay in Hoi an.
Emma was incredible and the food was beyond our expectations. We had such a lovely evening getting to experience the food and culture of Hoi An!
We had a fabulous tour with Jackie, she was super friendly and gave us a lot of insights into the traditional food we were eating and into daily life in Hoi An! A really easy walk between stops and some lovely routes down pretty alleyways we wouldn't have otherwise followed. Jackie's company regularly review the best spots to eat so you can rest assured that the food is delish and authentic. A number of the restaurants are open until they sell out for the day, so an early dinner makes sure you don't miss out. We were super full after having white rose dumplings and fried wonton at the original white rose restaurant (everywhere else reheats them), cao Lau, learned about balut eggs (wasn't brave enough to try), banh mi, banh xeo and spring roll, then Jackie's recommendation of a salt coffee (so good). The boat ride was easy to navigate in the chaos, and playing traditional bingo was heaps of fun - we can't wait to go back. Definitely recommend doing this early in your trip so you get to know the lay of the land. Thank you so much for making our visit to Hoi An so special Jackie! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This Food walking tour was fantastic as was our guide. We were taken to places we would not have tried if not for this tour and advice from our guide. We returned to a couple of the places over following days. Suggest you do the door early in your trip as it will open up a lot more avenues (and laneways) to explore.
Do not eat beforehand as there is so much food - well worth the money.
Bingo is very fun and the lantern release is a great experience
This tour was amazing! Emma is so fun and friendly! She is definitely relatable and knows her way around the town! Make sure you don’t eat anything before hand because makes the food tour worthwhile ! Overall I would recommend! Definitely planning to more tours with her in the future !
This was such a fun tour and great way to try alot of the special foods unique to Hoi An I’m one evening. Jackie took great care of us! I especially appreciate her being able to facilitate my shellfish allergy so I could try the white roses dumplings.
Amazing food! You have to come hungry. Very different type of cuisine, quite special. Everything went well.
Great way to experience Hoi An at night! Our guide spoke perfect english. She was very young, fun, and engaging!
Our second tour With Nacy. Delicious food and great fun. Enjoyed the bingo and seeing the small back street in old Hoi an.
We really enjoyed this food tour, best one we’ve done during our time in Vietnam! Nancy was on time and very friendly! She provided a lot of insight into the culture and food of Hoi An and everything we tried was amazing, the best food we’ve had!! The bingo game we did at the end was so fun too! We had a great time and would recommend this tour!
