Possibly our most enjoyable food tour ever! - We’d done quite a few food tours across Asia over the last few years and unfortunately the Vietnamese ones and their guides had not been good experiences, despite them showing good scores on Tripadvisor. Based on this, for our 2025 holiday in Hoi An, we searched more carefully for a food tour, looking closely at customer feedback. The result was that we chose John Lee’s “Hoi An Street Food Tour - Eat like a local - Private Tour.” We actually booked John Lee many months before we arrived in Vietnam – but from the beginning he acknowledged our booking on Viator and was available to answer queries and requests, unlike some businesses which only contact you the afternoon before your tour… Additionally, during booking of this tour we hadn’t realized that it would be riding as passengers on the back of scooters, but when the time came it was really a lot of fun traveling this way and ideal for nipping down country lanes and the side-roads of Hoi An (we definitely felt like locals on the scooters!). Furthermore, throughout the tour, John and his staff were focused on our safety. At the start of our tour, before we visited the restaurants and eateries, he took us down some small and pretty country lanes, alongside riverbanks, to a tiny, old, rural noodle factory which produced a local delicacy using traditional methods, which was fascinating. Plus, it was poignant to think that this workshop will no longer be in existence in a couple of years’ time when the owners retire as their children prefer to pursue more modern jobs. Throughout the tour John was smiling, charming, enthusiastic and generous with his time and genuinely wanted us to have the best experience and for our food tour to be an adventure (which it was!). Each food stop had it’s own special character and signature dish and at the end after getting photos of the colorful lanterns and launching a couple we certainly felt well-fed! In conclusion, we highly recommend John Lee and he is so much better than many other guides. When we next return to Vietnam we will definitely be in touch with him and suspect we will be arranging some tailor-made tours using two-wheels transport!

Excellent Tour Guide - The Very BEST!! - John was amazing, so helpful. He is an excellent photographer and took lots of fabulous photos of us. So many memories, from so many happy snaps! We are so very thankful to John for looking after us so very well. He spent three days with us, showing us around his home town, eating like a local (yummy).

Street Food walking tour - We had a great evening with John on our food walking tour in Hoi An. John was friendly, most knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He took us to food shops and places we would otherwise have walked past or never found. The tour was very flexible as we were not expecting to be offered so much food and got a point where we were full. John showed us some other places of interest and gave us a brief history which put things into context. After a little while John found a food stall that we could not refuse, delicious ice cream and pancake. We thoroughly enjoyed our food walking tour and could not have had a better guide than John, a proud and passionate local who made our experience so memorable. Thanks again John for a great time.
