We had a great experience on our cocktail tour. Our host Viktor spoke very good English and was very informative on the local area and history etc. We all learnt a lot about Hoi An and Vietnam in general and enjoyed some delicious Vietnamese cocktails with nibbles in various locations through Old Town. A Great few hours out with friends. Highly recommend
Easily the best tour we did in Vietnam. This was actually my second time booking this cocktail tour as it was amazing last time! Do yourself a favour and find the coolest places in Hoi an. Amazing host, delicious cocktails and amazing food as well!
From meeting at the well to our many stops Chelsea was knowledgeable, professional and fun. We started off at a lovely family run bar/restaurant on their roof terrace and watched the sun go down before moving on through the lantern lit streets. Each and every place we visited had a unique and very interesting story and Chelsea knew them all. Cocktails and in some nibbles were always very promptly served and our final venue was almost a speak easy with the cocktail eaters performing mixology to perfection Definitely had more than what we paid in food and drinks.
Hoi An can be a bit of a hectic town, so I found this tour phenomenal for having an insider show you the hidden gems, with the best preserved 13th-16th century architecture bars. Tien was a gem of a host, so down to earth, willing to answer any/all questions about Vietnamese culture (& life in general!). We had delicious cocktails/bites to eat, learned the chef's interesting origin stories, and LOVED having our own personal photographer. I HIGHLY recommend this experience as it was the best thing we did in Vietnam.
On December 27th my group had the pleasure of joining Viktor for a cocktail walking tour around Hoi An. The cocktails - delicious and beautiful. The food - some of the best I've had in Vietnam (and this is my 5th time here.) The venues - beautiful, interesting and rich with history. It's a pricey tour, however the itinerary of the tour itself was great and I'd definitely recommend doing it for a really fun night. In my opinion the highlight of the night was Viktor, who is an absolute asset to SecretEats. Viktor is knowledgeable, witty, enthusiastic and truly passionate about what he does. Whilst I'm sure he had certain facts about each venue and the city that he had to pass on, he was a brilliant conversationalist and we all really enjoyed chatting to him about history, the changing face of life in Vietnam, the pride he feels for his country and its people and how it compares to our lives in Australia etc. If you're lucky enough to get Viktor as your guide, you're in for a fantastic time!
10/10 experience for anyone visiting Hoi An. We had a great tour led by Chelsea learning about the history of Hoi An and trying a variety of local bites and cocktails. Great for a couple or group!
Hoi An Secret Cocktails was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. Tien and Chelsea are incredible hosts who are warm, knowledgeable, and full of personality. They not only know their drinks but also know Hoi An inside and out. The evening felt like a magical journey. We wandered through charming alleys, rode on boats under lantern-lit skies, and sipped beautifully crafted cocktails that each told a story. Every drink was paired with delicious bites and fascinating pieces of Hoi An’s history and culture. We started at 5 PM and somehow the time just flew by. By the time we wrapped up around 11, it felt like we had shared a night with old friends. If you want to experience the real soul of Hoi An, its flavors, stories, and secret corners, this tour is a must.
We had Chelsea and Tien as our guides, and it was fun. They were knowledgeable and made the night entertaining! I do not want to share the elements, but all the bars were interesting and had such good vibes. My personal favourite was the last stop, where we felt like we had the entire bar to ourselves, and the bartender had such great hospitality. Recommend this to everyone!
What an amazing experience. It was my first time with the Secret Eats & I honestly didn’t know what to expect. My host for the night, Leo, exceeded my expectations. He was knowledgeable, warm & authentic. We had deep convos which I totally didn’t expect for two strangers meeting for the first time. Great selections on all the places we went & I honestly can’t wait to go back. All in all, definitely a must try activity if you are in Hoi An. It is by far one of the best travel experiences I have ever done in my life & I look forward to trying out the activities again in different cities in the future
Great way to see the old town and some cool spots that you would never know existed. Guide was great, very friendly and passionate about what he does. 10 out of 10 would recommend and he booked this due to a recommendation from a friend. Had such a good time we arranged another event to have dinner in one of the restaurants visited in the tour. One thing I would highlight is you also get alot of food. We are before we went but would recommend you go a little hungry.
Outstanding drinks enjoyed in locations that were hidden gems from all around the old town. Our guide was awesome and we made lasting memories beyond just the beverages!
We experienced the secret cocktail experience with our guide Tien and our entire group absolutely LOVED it. It was truly the highlight of our time in Hoi An as we saw more of the old Town, enjoyed drinks in very unique locations we never would have known about and ate local tapas we never would have known to order. Tien was incredibly knowledgeable about the local food and culture and he was great fun!
Many thanks to our host, Tien, for making my husband’s birthday a special one. We loved walking through HoiAn Old Town from one secret stop to the next. Each cocktail was unique and delicious, as were the tapas. Tien was very easy to talk to and told great stories about HoiAn’s history. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits HoiAn!
We thoroughly enjoyed the trek around Hoi An Ancient Town with Tien, tasting delicious cocktails and bites in magnificent hidden venues that we otherwise would never have found. From the magnificent roof top bar at … to the tranquil courtyard setting of … and upstairs masterpiece of … (sorry, you’ll have to do the tour to be in the know 😁), this tour had it all.Thanks 🙏 Tien for a memorable night, we thoroughly enjoyed it!! Highly recommend if you’re visiting Hoi An 😎
I’m so glad I booked this tour. Such a great way to experience Hoi An by night. Tien took me took to some incredible places I would never have known to go to otherwise. Each one was unique in its own way and the cocktails and snacks were delicious. I loved the surprise element of the evening and not knowing what to expect next. I recommend this tour to anyone looking for something a bit different to do while in Hoi An and to hear some great stories. This will be a highlight from my trip for sure.
We had a brilliant time on the tour. A great way to discover a different side of Hoi An, with amazing cocktails and food pairings. Our guide, Tien, was a great host. Definitely recommend!
This was a truly unique experience for us- we had spent four full days exploring Hoi An and were still really impressed with the selection and the variety of the tour. the bars were all beautiful and not ones we would’ve found on our own.
Really fun evening for our family of five. Tiem and Anne were fun and very knowledgeable. They took us to places we NEVER would have found on our own. The food at every stop was both interesting and flavorful. No need to eat beforehand. And the drinks were superb. All 4 were new to us and very tasty. Of course doing two innovative shots at the end was the perfect nightcap to a wonderful evening
Greg's tour is absolutely incredible. Even with access to so many reviews, sites, social platforms, etc. it can be difficult and overwhelming to navigate a new city let alone find cool, hip and interesting places to go. Greg helps you do just that, all the while meeting interesting people and connecting on their stories. It's one of the most magical pieces of traveling brought to life in one fun night out. I couldn't recommend Greg's tour more, you will have a night to remember!
What a cool tour this was! Greg our guide was fantastic. Each spot that he took us to had such a different vibe. We were able to learn about the bar, its history, and why it is considered a “secreteat.” All of our cocktails were amazing and the little bites complemented them so well. This is a must do tour because it is so different from anything else offered. I highly recommend this tour in Hoi An!
This was a highlight of our trip to Vietnam, a unique experience with some great food and outstanding cocktails!
What a fun experience to share with friends or family! Everything was amazing, from the places with delicious drinks and snacks to the host and the overall vibe. We had such a good time, I highly recommend it.
