An experience I will cherish forever! Tim guided us beautifully through the evening, sharing not only his deep knowledge of Vietnamese history but also his own moving personal story. Even though we talked about serious topics, we laughed a lot along the way. I wholeheartedly recommend this cocktail experience. Thank you again, Tim, for sharing your story and creating such an unforgettable evening for us!

But as you wander the district's streets, know that secret watering holes dating back centuries hide in the alleyways. On this tour, you’ll be taken right to them, where you’ll sit down to curated cocktails that play on Vietnam’s French, Japanese, and Chinese history.
  • Taste the city's best cocktails, made to your liking
  • Follow your guide through old town's best spots
  • Learn stories about the city's complex gastronomic culture

    What an incredible evening! Tim is an absolute wealth of knowledge and had so many interesting stories for us. The cocktails are delicious and I had a brilliant time on this tour!

    Excellent Cocktail Tour!

    Jennifer_W, Jan 2026
    We loved our experience with Loan. All 4 cocktails and snack were delicious and in places we would never have known to go. Loan was informative, intelligent and a pleasure to spend 3 hours with. We also felt the value was excellent and the experience was a wonderful one.

    Good fun - maybe a bit overpriced

    Michael_D, Jan 2026
    Tricky one to review. Tinh our guide was brilliant. The 4 cocktails and snacks were all really good. Everything was enjoyable. Just felt it was slightly overpriced given that it’s happy hour in all these places during these times. Feel like it should be 20-30% less based on other things we have done here. Still, had a nice time and went to places we would not have found on our own.

    Cocktail tour

    Great cocktail tour! Our host Tim was a lovely guy who told us a lot about the cocktails but also about the history of Vietnam. He brought us to hidden gems in the old town. It’ shows that you need to go through all the small alleys to find the good stuff. It’s a great night out would really recommend this to anyone!

    Best cocktail tour ever!

    ELEONORE_W, Jan 2026
    This was our first experience this time around, and it did not disappoint. Tim was our tour guide, and he was a pure story teller, making this tour so much more interesting. There were four cocktail stops along the way, all accompanied by a little something to nibble on. It was a small group, only eight altogether, so it felt quite intimate and inclusive. Definitely recommend this experience, and I still think Tim should hit the road as a comedian...he is a funny and engaging guy.

    Great time!

    What a fun experience! Tim was a great guide, very informative about the area. We enjoyed all the drinks and snacks. Everyone was friendly. Highly recommend.

    Fabulous Hoi An Night Tour

    David_M, Dec 2025
    Great experience - Tinh took us to some amazing hidden bars where we had some fantastic cocktails but the best part of the tour were his life stories and explanation of Vietnam history.

    This was a very cool tour. The guide, Ky, has a background in mixology so that made it more unique. The stops were cool and the drinks were good. Also Hoi An Ancient Town is an awesome place with an awesome vibe.

    Must do in Hoi An

    Best way to learn about Hoi An

    Terence_D, Sep 2025
    Our guide Long was absolutely lovely and told us a lot of interesting stories about Hoi An, Vietnam and its culture. Everything around good cocktails (some very surprising) and some good snacks (they will comply to your dietary requests). What's not to like?

    Great cocktail experience

    Angie_T, Sep 2025
    Nice selection of cocktails and snacks and will cater to dietary requirements. We saw places we otherwise wouldn’t and learnt a lot from our guide. Highly recommend this if you’re a cocktail lover.

    ✨ Secret Cocktail Tour in Hoi An – An Absolute Must! ✨

    Kelly_G, Sep 2025
    If you do one thing in Hoi An, make it this cocktail tour. Tim was hands down the best host we’ve ever had—engaging, entertaining, and overflowing with knowledge. He didn’t just take us for drinks, he took us on a journey through the hidden gems of Hoi An. The bars we visited were tucked away in places you’d never find on your own, each with its own unique story that made the cocktails taste even better. It felt like being let in on a local secret, and Tim’s storytelling brought it all to life. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, fun, and full of surprises. It wasn’t just a tour, it was an adventure with great company, incredible drinks, and unforgettable memories. Highly, highly recommended. 🍸🌟

    Great way to spend an early evening

    Peter_D, Aug 2025
    Our guide, Loan, was excellent in guiding us among the four stops we made during our tour. It was great to get a variety of experiences and drinks (and snacks) along the way, and learn more about each place and the local culture. Met some great people in our small tour also. It was a lot of fun I’d highly recommend!

    Fun and exclusive!

    Brooke_P, Aug 2025
    I had a lot of fun on this tour. We learned a lot about Vietnam history and food/drink culture along the way. We had a fun group, and the tour guides were fun as well. I would say your level of fun definitely depends on your group! Each bar we went to, the cocktail was exclusive to the tour, which was a nice touch - so even if you've been to one of the bars, you'll be enjoying a cocktail you can only get on the tour. Be advised, they are 4 full-sized cocktails 🤪 Loved it and highly recommend !

    Travelling solo it was a good way to meet people. The guide was great and very knowledgeable. Lots to learn about the history of Vietnam.

    A Hidden Gem in Hoi An – Unmissable Cocktail Tour!

    Monique_S, Jul 2025
    Absolutely fantastic experience! This hidden bar cocktail tour through Hoi An’s old town was one of the highlights of our trip. Every stop was unique, from charming speakeasies tucked down lantern-lit alleyways to stylish rooftop bars with incredible views. The cocktails were top-notch—creative, delicious, and beautifully presented. Our guide Ky was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about both the local bar scene and Hoi An’s history. Ky struck the perfect balance between fun and informative, making the whole evening feel like a relaxed adventure with friends. If you’re looking for something different to do in Hoi An and enjoy great drinks in secret spots you’d never find on your own, this tour is a must. Highly recommended!
