Very authentic street food tour in Hoi An. Country typical food not for wimps. Flora was really great and didn't leave out any answer. With her warm manner, she gently guided us through the culinary world of Vietnam and Hoi An.

This was a really nice night out. Bong our guide was terrific. She really made sure the tour was exactly fit for our needs while still getting the tastiest selections Hoi An has to offer. We are glad we did this tour.

We really enjoyed our food tour. Bong showed us some great spots in Hoi An that we wouldn’t have found by ourselves and introduced us to several new foods that we otherwise would’ve missed. Highly recommend!

The weather was atrocious but the tour went ahead anyways and we and our guide made the most of it. He even ended us taking us out for a few drinks after in the locals spot
