From there, your guide will take you to some stalls that will serve you delicious Vietnamese delicacies like White Rose, Sweet Soup, and Bread. You'll be taken to a local market where you can get the chance to try out more food like Ca Lou noodles and visit some local stalls and shops.

At the end of the tour, you can choose to return to your hotel or hang out a bit more and explore the rest of the city on your own.
Reviews
Wonderful food and even better guide! Our walking food tour in Hoi An was amazing! The food was delicious—especially the white rose dumplings and Vietnamese pancakes—but what made the experience truly special was our guide, Jackie. She was very nice, insightful, and thoughtful throughout the tour. You could tell she’s genuinely connected with the local vendors and community, which made every stop feel authentic and personal. We’re already thinking of bringing other family members and our kids next time!
I was the only person booked and they told me that the tour couldn't go ahead, but they changed it to a private tour and went ahead with it. Our guide, Jackie, explained a lot about the food and the shops, and answered any questions I had in more detail. It was a walking tour, but the itinerary was calculated so it didn't feel like we walked that much. It was a very valuable experience to eat local food at a local shop that wasn't for tourists. After the meal, we also had the chance to try boating and playing bingo, so it was a lot of fun and packed with content.
this was the main highlight of my Hoi An trip! it was fun, and i got to try Vietnamese dishes i wouldn't have known about. jackie was very accomodating and genuine in telling us about each dish. definitely recommend!
Nancy was amazing, she was so informative and the food was great, it was so much I couldn't finish everything, the game at the end was fun and my husband ended up winning! I highly recommend this tour
Our local guide Nancy was very knowledgeable about the tour. She explained to us very well about all the history of the foods and even recommended us about the best places in Hoi An. i enjoyed the Bingo a lot, it was fun. And the boat was spectacular. I highly recommended this food tour. Thank you
One of the best tours we have had so far. So much food to stuff our faces but they were so delicious that we couldn’t stop eating ! A good tour to sample the local delicacies. Our guide NancyVi made a huge difference. She spoke really well and always make sure that our transition to different stops is seamless. She is very knowledgeable about the food and it’s history and is always ready to share stories about Hoi An.
Make sure you come hungry, food was amazing. Emma was great, and very informative. We end of the night with a lantern boat trip, and then a bingo game that was very interesting and fun.
Accomodates Vegetarian food diet - We enjoyed a vibrant food tour, sampling seven diverse dishes—from spicy tacos to delicate sushi rolls. Each bite was a new adventure. Afterward, we took a peaceful boat ride to release lanterns, creating a serene, unforgettable moment and played a Vietnamese Bingo game. A perfect blend of flavor, culture, and reflection. Highly recommended!
Jackie was a wonderful and informative guide. She took us to the best places in Hoi An and the food was delicious!
My local food guide Jackie did an amazing job! She was so patient with us and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way! We ate white rose dumplings, banh mi, cao lao (yellow noodles with pork), com ga (steamed chicken rice), viet coffee, banh xeo (pancake), nem lui (skewered pork) and fried spring rolls. She shared many interesting stories about Hoi An, Da Nang and the history behind each shop that we ate in. After our grub, Jackie led us through a few interesting shortcuts to get to the river for a short boat ride and bought us a lantern each to let go. We ended the night with the local bingo game which was lots of fun but unfortunately did not get to takeaway a win 😅 nevertheless, the whole experience was really nice and this tour was the highlight of my Hoi An trip! Thank you again Jackie 😬
