Great way to try new foods in Hoi An - Hiền was an experienced guide who knew much about the local cuisine at Hoi An. She guided us through back alleys and stopped at some great street vendors that we would not have normally had the courage or knowledge to try. She was also very friendly and taught us about the local culture of Hoi An.

Going to local places with this great streetfood tour! - We took a streetfood tour through Hoi An. Our guide Su explained about the different local dishes and how they are made. What we really liked is that Su took us away from the centre and showed us places where only the locals eat. We had a great time and I would highly recommend this tour with Su!

Experiencing real vietnamese street food - Sue was a great guide on our food tour and took us (teenage daughter and I) around many places tourists wouldn't normally try, mostly in the street surrounding the old town. The food was delicious and varied. Sue was great at suggesting what to really try or skip as we became increasingly full during the tour (despite having skipped lunch in preparation for the tour). Highlight for me were the fresh soya milk, Cao Lau, Vietnamese banh mi and the banh Dap. We even got to try the fertilised boiled egg! Thank you Sue for a great tour.

An Evening of Food, Fun and Laughs with Hien 😁😁 - We were picked up at our hotel by Hien (Sue) tour guide for our evening food tour. A short ride in an electric commuter buggy to our first stop and from there it was nonstop food, fun and laughs. We sampled Banh Me, Cao Tau and numerous other Hoi An specialties that I cannot remember the names of and finished off with salted coffee. A big experience for the taste buds. Hien was very knowledgeable and passed on the information in a fun way to our small group. She was so much fun and a pleasure to be with. We would be very happy to do any other tour she led. All in all a very enjoyable evening highlighted by Hien's bubbly personality.

Excellent evening food tour - Sue was our guide and her seevice was very good to say the least. We experienced best street food comparable to thise served in the popular restaurants in Hoi An. In fact the food she recommended was too much for us to finish them. To say value for money tour is an understatement. Love this tour. For the first timers to Hoi An , take this tour and you will never regret it.

Sue was an absolute champ! Fun food tour! - Our food tour was with Sue, she was fantastic, so much knowledge and so great to talk to and ask information about Hoi An. We couldn’t fault the experience at all and loved all of the places she took us to that we otherwise wouldn’t have found on our own. So much fun and many laughs were had!

Authentic street food experience. - Our guide Sue, took us to parts of Hoi An beyond the Old Town, which made for a more authentic street food feel. We tried some foods that we would usually not even attempt, for example black sesame soup which looks strange but I found rather good. Also a lady at a stall selling some smelly fish concoction which didn’t bode well but actually tasted nice! There was also a dish of finely sliced pork skin, which I enjoyed when I wasn’t sure that I would. A couple of things we couldn’t bring ourselves to try, e.g. the egg with the embryo bird inside. Shudder! However, different strokes and all that. We also had some of the local Hoi An specialities such as Cao Lau, and chicken rice which we like anyway. Sue spoke excellent English, so could clearly explain things and also answer our questions. The heavens opened part-way through, incredible amounts of rain fell, which made the tour more memorable.
