Full description

This is a 3-hour experience from Hoi An, built around Local restaurant. It is run by Man Travel Hoi An, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Japanese food tours work because the best places are small, unmarked and full of regulars, and a guide who orders for you opens them. An izakaya crawl covers yakitori, sashimi, karaage and the local pours of sake, shochu and highballs across three or four counters in an evening; a ramen walk explains the broths, tonkotsu, shoyu, miso and shio, and the regional styles. Most places seat eight to twelve and tours run six to eight guests for that reason. Vegetarians should say so when booking, because dashi stock is fish and hidden in almost everything; halal-certified options exist but are fewer.

The price covers 12+ different food tastings, Live tour guide and Cultural and historical insights of Hoi An. It does not cover Transportation to the meeting point and Tips, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

533 Đ. Hai Bà Trưng, Hội An, Đà Nẵng, Vietnam. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Man Travel Hoi An before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Amazing variety of dishes, we went into places that we would never dare visit without a guide and got to try food that we didn't even know existed! Leo was a fantastic guide, very friendly, attentive and approachable.

Quin, our guide, gave us an incredible tour. She showed us a variety of different local dishes that we wouldn’t have tried if we went around by ourselves, bringing us to local vendors and getting to know them as well. She also taught us a load about Hoi An and Vietnamese culture. Thank you so much!

Quin was a lovely guide and very knowledgeable about the area, the food and the history of the dishes we tried. There was a lot of variety in terms of which foods we tried and definitely off the tourist tracks! We suggested to Quin to perhaps add a drinks stop to make it even better. Highly recommend the tour!

Frequently Asked Questions

533 Đ. Hai Bà Trưng, Hội An, Đà Nẵng, Vietnam
The price does not cover transportation to the meeting point and tips. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
The Hoi An old town ticket (a small fee that covers five heritage houses or halls) is included when the listing says so; otherwise it is bought at the entrance and the guide explains which houses to use it on. The old town is closed to motorbikes for most of the day, and My Son is best at opening time before the tour buses.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
