Full description
This is a 3-hour experience in Hoi An. It is run by Vietnam in your palm, 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 Food in the itinerary, Bottles of water and Motorbike and driver if you chooose motorbike option. It does not cover Gratitututes and Personal Expense, 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.
Vietnam in your palm sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Vietnam in your palm before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Incredible experience!!! We tried numerous dishes at many hidden gems. I would highly recommend. Cuong was very kind and knowledgeable ❤️
Such an amazing experience! More food than I could eat and a fabulous way to explore the back streets of Hoi An. You could tell that Sam was just as passionate about educating his patrons about the various cultural aspects related to the tasting experience and well as promoting local business and their families. Can’t recommend this enough, it was awesome. Thank you! X
Wow! We walked down many backstreets and sampled various street foods, small restaurant specialities and even foods prepared in people’s homes. We tried things we would likely not have on our own and at places we may not have ventured into. Our guide, Man, was knowledgeable about food, the area and history. We also had To along on the tour, learning the ropes of tour guiding. He was also friendly and easy to talk with. About 3km walk but broken up between 7 locations so doesn’t seem far.
Quin was a very informational tour guide, we really enjoyed the tour and food!
Absolutely amazing night. Our guide Q took us to several "restaurants" we never would have visited by ourselves, but the food was out of this world. A day after we even went back to one of the spots to eat there again. Great portions too, not just quick bites. Would recommend to everybody visiting Hoi An.
amazing food tour, guide quin was the best tour guide!!!
Wonderful evening exploring Hoi An's unique and delicious culinary scene. Quin was a friendly and knowledgeable foodie who chose a great selection of restaurants and dishes for us to try. Highly recommend!
Leo was such a fantastic guide very informative and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great evening
Quin was a very friendly local foodie and a knowledgeable guide, who took us to some great restaurants that I never would have come across. She knew so much history of both the food and the restaurants, which made for an immersive, educational and most importantly, delicious tour!
This one is definitely recommended! Our tourguide Sonny was very nice and friendly. He could tell a lot about the local food and other interesting facts about Vietnamese culture. We went to 8 different local places and tastes 12 different dishes. We’re very full at the end, so it’s definitely worth the money.
This was a fantastic tour hosted by our guide Man. Man adeptly navigated our party of 3s very specific and varied food requirements. He took us to some amazing food options off the tourist track. Man was knowledgeable and passionate about both the food and his city. I would highly recommend this tour. Michael Australia
