Served with typical soya dipping sauce,

Thank you kindly for your warm welcome and taking us on the tour. We all tried foods we haven’t tried before, even though we have been to Vietnam before… your positive energy, warmth and knowledge made our tour perfect… thank you again ☺️
We had an unforgettable and fantastic experience exploring HoiAn from a local perspective. Our guide - Bong, is a local person who has a rich knowledge of the area and I would like to recommend her to anyone for an extremely authentic experience. Well structured trip with fresh, wholesome food!
An extremely informative trip with great food! BONG- Our guide was well informed on the area and had such a vast knowledge of the foods and different vendors in the area. Fresh and clean vendors with wholesome bites and meals.
Phuong was an energetic and informative guide. Her enthusiasm for sharing the food of Hoi A was appreciated by all on the tour. The food was plentiful and delicious. I highly recommend this tour.
Bong, our guide, was fantastic showing us spots we would never have even walked past let along try. Would highly recommend her tour!
Bong was an amazing tour guide and I really enjoyed the experience couldn’t recommend more the places you go are authentic and historic.
Great tour guide. Shared the history with us. Awnsered all the questions. Very very delightful tour.
Miss Bong, was very informative about the street food of Hoi An, 💞didn’t rush us and explained the ingredients where and how it’s used. All of the food visits was top notch 👌thank you for a wonderful afternoon, definite recommendation!
Our guide Bông was incredible and the food choices were all authentic, family-run food stalls. We tried many foods that we wouldn't have otherwise tried on our own. Would definitely recommend.
An amazing experience with some delicious cuisine from some local hole in the wall places that I wouldn't have otherwise experienced. Highly recommend!
Phuong went above and beyond. She catered to our food interests and gave us so much information about Hoi An, the local culture and cuisines.
Our tour guide Bong, was excellent. What really set this tour apart was how personal it felt. Bong took the time to explain the history of each dish, introduce us to the people behind the food. The pacing was perfect, the portions were generous, and every bite was delicious. If you’re looking for an authentic, fun, and flavorful way to experience the city, I can’t recommend this food tour highly enough. Come hungry and curious—you’ll leave happy, full, and with a much deeper appreciation for the local food scene. :) Thank you Bong!
Authentic. Insightful. DELICIOUS. We would have never tried these foods on our own! Bong was so warm and insightful, we felt so grateful to have had a private tour with her. Each food stop was a full experience, seeing how each food was authentically made, enjoying it on little plastic stools. Bong answered all of our curiosities and we truly couldn’t get enough of each meal. Thank you Bong / Flora! We’ll be back :)
Bong/Flora is the person to ask for. She knows all the best places to go. Every place we sat down to eat was a small, family owned place tucked away in a hidden part of the street. Bong was able to order for us, explain the food and the history behind it in great detail. Lovely person, and this experience really gives you a feel for how the locals eat and live in day to day life. Every food was yummy! Highly recommend.
Chị Bông was a phenomenal host and showed us such a great time! My partner and I were apart of a lively group, but everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly and many of us ended up exchanging numbers!!! I’ll definitely be going back to the places she recommended. Cảm ơn rất nhiều chị!! ☺️❤️
Bong (Flora) informed us a great deal of the origins of specific food. She took us to spot that i myself had not been to on my own. Really enjoyed the sesame seed soup. Thank you for a great evening 😊
Bong (Palesa) was exceptional and very friendly - we got to see and taste the best of Vietnam that is not for tourists. We will recommend her to other guests
Phuong is amazing .. I had the best time with her .. it was just the two of us.. she made me taste things I would have never tried and honestly I enjoyed everything .. she explained everything we tried .. it’s so beautiful to eat with the locals and experience how they live. This tour is authentic and an absolute must!!!
We did the local food tour with tour guide Bông (Flower) and absolutely loved it! Great tour guide, introduced us to some amazing spots, information about the town, food, history and local people. We had 9 stops all together ending with the most delicious tea and coffee spot. Great english and a nice walk through the town. All the food was great! Something for everyone too as one vegan was in our group and throughly enjoyed. Highly recommend!
An incredible experience trying new food. Our guide, Bong, was knowledgeable and kind. I would recommend this tour to all- especially Banh Beo.
Our guide Bong was just wonderful. She took us to so many interesting places we never could have found alone, with delicious food and such interesting historical and cultural information. Highly recommend!
Tonight we had the wonderful opportunity to meet Catherine, who was our private tour guide with The Street Food Man. From the moment we started walking through the lively streets of Ho Chi Minh City, she made us feel like locals. We visited five authentic local restaurants, tasting dish after dish of incredible Vietnamese food. Every bite was delicious, and although we ate far too much, it was nearly impossible to stop! What made the evening truly memorable was Catherine herself. She entertained us with her deep knowledge of local customs, food culture, and Vietnamese life, all delivered with warmth and a great sense of humor. Walking the streets with her felt like being out with a friend who just happened to know everything about the city. This was a fantastic experience — delicious food, great company, and insights you simply can’t get on your own. We would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh.
We had a fantastic time on the Hoi An at Sunset tour with our wonderful guide, Bong. The street food and authentic Vietnamese cuisine were absolutely delicious, and Bong provided insightful information about the local history and people that really brought the experience to life. It was a great way to explore Hoi An and learn more about the culture. Highly recommend this tour—and especially Bong—for anyone visiting!
This was a great tour which showcased both the fantastic food and Old Town. Guide was lovely and catered well for kids and adults alike. Loved it!
Flora gave the best tour Ever! Took us to amazing food places and was very knowledgeable of the history and benefits of the food. She took her time explaining to us what was happening and what was next. I loved her energy. She was incredible company. I have never had a tour guide more invested in my time and ensuring I had the best experience ever. 10/10 and would definitely do again!
Bong was such a great guide! Very knowledgeable about Hoi An and was able to give insights and key tips for first time visitors of Vietnam. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour.
Every time I visit Hoi An I do this amazing foodie tour with the even more amazing tour guide, Bong. The night is so enjoyable walking through the old town streets and alleyways to visit different iconic Hoi An eating places. Not only do you get to enjoy the most delicious food but Bong also shares her extensive knowledge of Hoi An’s cuisine, history and unique back stories of the people who cook and serve the food. Thanks to Bong you are totally immersed in a wonderful, authentic foodie experience. I just can’t wait to do the tour again when I next visit.
Wonderful experience with Bong! She was very personable and knowledgeable and I really enjoyed her guiding and expertise! The food tour was awesome and delicious! Such different foods from the rest of Vietnam- highly recommend!
This tour is a must do to taste and learn the culture of HOI An . Amy our delightful guide walked the streets tasting the traditional food from the cute street vendors ,
Absolutely loved this tour, huge variety of tasty street food. Phuong was an amazing host, full of information, friendly and spoke English very well. Highly recommend
Flora was an excellent guide. She went above and beyond to look after us and give us an interesting, varied and tasty experience in places mainly away from the main tourist spots. We were so full of food and information. Thank you Flora, great job.
Flora was amazing. Thank you for a great experience. I would not have tried anything without a guide. Don't miss this opportunity.
Our guide Phuong was awesome. I was travelling with my mother and we both enjoyed all the food as well as Phuong’s knowledge about Hoi an and Vietnam. She made us feel comfortable and we enjoyed every second. Would highly recommend to everyone if they are travelling to Hoi An to experience this tour and hopefully they get Phuong as a guide as well.
Wonderful experience of tasting the Vietnamese food and learning more about the culture. Flora was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and good fun. Make sure you have a light lunch. Very filling!
Amazing Food Tour adventure with our guide Phuong (Amy). Walked the back streets of Hoi An stopping along the way in the most inconspicuous restaurants to taste delicious local food. Listening to wonderful stories and facts about the food culture and history of Hoi An. Absolutely recommend this tour.
Phuong, my guide, was not only knowledgeable but incredibly fun to hang out with. It was a scrumptiously interesting way to taste the flavour and way of life of ordinary Hoi Anians. Enjoyed every minute.
My guide, Bong took me on a walking tour through Hoi An. We had 6 different stops where we tried many local dishes. She was knowledgeable about the area and even took me to some secret locations. Bong was very friendly and I had a wonderful time.
We had a great time with Bong trying local street foods that we never would have tried on our own - highly recommend the tour and Bong was a great guide
Amazing local guide, Bong knew the best spots with delicious variety. Bong took us to many street food stalls and catered to our personal tastes. Awesome night would highly recommend
This trip was the perfect way to explore and taste local food with a local to explain things along the way. Our guide Nam was informative, friendly and very knowledgeable and we were all more than satisfied with all aspects of the tour and recommend this as a way of finding more about local food down alleyways and streets you may not normally find. Thank you Nam.
A wonderful experience, guide Bong was extremely knowledgeable about the food we were consuming and cooking tips for us to explore at home.
Great food experience in Hoi An! We were afraid that food stalls would be closer to the busy and very touristic city centre but we were taken further back and went on more authentic food stalls. Amazing food in very local places! Bong was a great guide and explained with great knowledge and patience! Highly recommended.
I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Hoi An! We did this on night 2 of 8 in Hoi An and it was the perfect tour. Our local guide Bong had strong knowledge of local food, people and history and she was more than willing to share this with us. The food was delicious! We were given to chance to try a variety of local foods and were also given recommendations of places to try on another day. We enjoyed fresh local food by the river and watched the sunset. Bong was very friendly and easy to get along with, thank you Bong for a great, yummy experience!! Strong English speaking also which made the tour incredibly easy.
Our guide Jasmine was great, providing a background to the food we were eating and local customs, life and snippets of historical information as well. The food was amazing, and I would not have tried some of it without this tour. Starting with meat skewers sitting on small stools on the sidewalk and finishing with a coconut coffee, best served iced according to Jasime, it was all great. My highlight was sitting in the courtyard of a local family trying black sesame sweet soup. Would recommend to anyone visiting Hoi An.
Our guide, Vu, was excellent. He was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to authentic places to sample the delicious local food and explained the history behind the dishes. It was very well organised and it was a highlight of our trip in Hoi An.
Bong took me on an amazing adventure through small streets sampling several Hoi An delicacies. We visited a family home, sampled street food, brown noodles, warm soy drink and visited the home of a 100 year old local who makes black sesame seed dessert. Bong was great to chat to and I enjoyed her company. Definitely end your adventure with a pomelo cold tea!
Every time I visit Hoi An I go on this wonderful foodie tour and every time I am not disappointed. Bong, is an amazing knowledgeable guide who shares her love of Hoi An and all the delicious food it has to offer. Thank you Bong for making this experience so special. I cannot recommend this amazing tour highly enough!
Excellent experience, shown the food vendors you maybe wouldn’t usually find and the traditional way of eating plus full explanation of ingredients and how to cook, ideal for a first evening to see the town and learn your way around. Really special and worth the tour. Our host Bông was absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended
What a wonderful night with Bong. We visited places I would not have known or had the confidence to try. We met local families who shared their homes and culinary talents. I recommend to anyone who wants to taste the delights of Hoi An.
