Full description

This is a 3-hour experience in Hoi An. It is run by Hoi An Da Nang Tour, 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 tour guide, All food and drink items as per itinerary and One bottle of water. It does not cover Entrance ticket, Pickup and drop off service and Gratuities, 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.

Hoi An Da Nang Tour 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 Hoi An Da Nang Tour before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Includes

  • English-speaking tour guide
  • All food and drink items as per itinerary
  • One bottle of water

Excludes

  • Entrance ticket ($6USD/pax)
  • Pickup and drop off service

We had a fantastic night on our food tour - amazing food. Lily was such a great host and we thoroughly enjoyed visiting local spots that we certainly wouldn’t have found by ourselves. Our group was also very small which made the experience so much nicer and we were able to share stories with each other while also learning about some Vietnamese and Hoi An history. I would highly recommend this tour - and come hungry!

Lily did a great job job guiding us around Hoi An‘s food scene. She spoke very good English and we were able to understand her easily. All the food was excellent and we were so stuffed at the end. We ended up going back to a few of the restaurants later on our trip. It was a worthwhile evening and a great way to explore Hoi An through its food. Highly recommended.

The activity deserves it for two great reasons: Lily's friendliness and availability as well as the goodness and variety of the dishes tried. Lily helps you discover hidden but excellent places that, without a local and trained guide, you would never know. The opportunity to talk to a local person capable of telling his country beyond appearances and stereotypes is also nice. Thank you, Lily! Super recommended experience!
