The idea behind our tour is simple:in Hoi An there are around 120 restaurants catering to visitors with another 400 or so vendors and eating establishments catering to locals with foods that don’t usually appear on visitor menus. This is the food of the local Hoi An people - some call it street food - many with recipes passed down from generation to generation. Our tour gives visitors a safe opportunity to try these foods – we ensure the food is handled hygienically and provide a comfortable venue for the tastings. « less

We were picked up at 7.15am by Neville on the first morning in Hoi An and went off on an amazing introduction to this magnificent town and culture. Neville is the perfect man for the job here and shares his knowledge and experiences of Hoi An with the visitors. The visits to the markets are really interesting and his tips... More

I read all the reviews and totally agree. This is a must "to do" in Hoi An. Do it on your first full day free to appreciate the food and benefit from lots of tips about locals and don't eat breakfast! Neville, an Australian who has lived in Hoi An for 5 years has an obvious passion and deep knowledge... More

We did the food tour with Neville and we had such a great time. He took amazing photos for us and was a friend more than a guide. Neville was a wonderful guide....knowledgeable without being too preachy More

Believe all the reviews. This is one of the best tours I have taken anywhere in the world. What I would like to emphasize besides the delicious, plentiful street food and information is how much Neville shows his love and respect for the city and its citizens. And on top of that he helps them by supporting their efforts through... More

Food was delicious, probably the best we had in Vietnam. Tour was informative and entertaining. Can't really ask for anything more. Book this tour early in your trip so you can take advantage of everything you learned and Neville's great restaurant recommendations. Def book this tour, you won't regret it! More

Neville is a font of knowledge of local food and places to eat, plus he is a really nice bloke. A great way to spend five hours and eat yourself silly. Beware though. There are 43 items on the menu so don't have any breakfast before the tour You will visit the markets, local restaurants and eat street food. Some... More

A slice! of life in Hoi An not to be missed. Although I have been to Hoi An many times I saw a completely different part of the town and tasted and enjoyed food I wouldn't have discovered without Neville.         Nong (delicious) More
