Vegan or Not, this tour is a MUST DO! - One of our trip highlights! Our guide (June) , a self confessed “foodie” was an absolute gem! She explained all the dishes and answered all our questions about everything- food, religion, and history, giving us a great insight into HoiAn and Vietnam in general. The walking tour stopped at several places that we would never have found and we ate delicious handmade dishes at every place, nothing was short of incredible. Between the six of us ( only one vegan) , we all chose a different item as our favorite. And don’t eat before you go! The quantities were very generous! Could not recommend this tour enough even for the non vegans/ vegetarians.

Delicious Vegan Food & Cultural Experience! - We had the most incredible experience on our vegan food tour of Hoi An! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised, and we discovered some interesting plant-based food that we would not have otherwise had the courage to try on our own as first-time visitors to Hoi An. Our guide, Sanh, was absolutely outstanding. His deep knowledge of not only Vietnamese cuisine but also the rich history and culture of Hoi A made the tour so much more than just a food experience. He introduced us to hidden gems we never would have found on our own, explaining the origins and significance of each dish with passion and expertise. His warm and friendly nature made us feel truly welcome, and we appreciated his insights into local traditions and customs. On our tour, we tried everything from traditional bánh mì to noodle dishes and even a few unique surprises along the way. Sanh’s recommendations were spot on, and it was evident that he had a great rapport with the local vendors, ensuring we got the best of everything. If you’re in Hoi An and love food, culture, and history, this tour is an absolute must! Whether you’re vegan or just curious to explore plant-based Vietnamese cuisine, you’ll walk away full, happy, and with a much deeper appreciation for the local food scene. Five stars all the way!

Highly recommended, thank you Kun! - We did the vegan food tour together with our fantastic guide Kun. Kun carries a wonderful positive energy and knows an incredible amount about Hoi An. We learned so much about history but also nice and sometimes funny facts. We also went to local places and had fantastic vegan food. These were places that we would have been less likely to find ourselves and that makes them unique. Kun is funny, patient and has a warm heart. We had a wonderful first introduction to Vietnam through Kun and are grateful for everything she showed us. I wish everyone a guide like Kun. Highly recommended!

Wonderful experience with an amazing guide! - My wife and I had a wonderful vegan food tour with our guide Khieu/Q. She is adorable, warm, friendly, and full of energy. She speaks perfect English, sounding like she grew up in California, even though she has never been there. I think getting to meet her and hear about her experience growing up in Hoi An, about her life and personal stories here were some highlights that really brought the tour to life, far beyond just a vegan food tour. It definitely felt like having bites to eat and chatting with a good old friend, even it was the first time we met her. I loved that we were able to eat inside the old family homes and meet the people who have lived there for generations, and hear about their stories behind the food - the old lady whose family makes the black sesame pudding, the family that makes the white rose dumplings and utterly delicious wontons, and the family that makes the Buddhist food. I'd highly recommend this experience.
