One-of-a-Kind Tour; Hidden Gems & best way to experience Hoi An - Hoi An can be a bit of a hectic town, so I found this tour phenomenal for having an insider show you the hidden gems, with the best preserved 13th-16th century architecture bars. Tien was a gem of a host, so down to earth, willing to answer any/all questions about Vietnamese culture (& life in general!). We had delicious cocktails/bites to eat, learned the chef's interesting origin stories, and LOVED having our own personal photographer. I HIGHLY recommend this experience as it was the best thing we did in Vietnam.

A beautiful night with a wonderful host - On December 27th my group had the pleasure of joining Viktor for a cocktail walking tour around Hoi An. The cocktails - delicious and beautiful. The food - some of the best I've had in Vietnam (and this is my 5th time here.) The venues - beautiful, interesting and rich with history. It's a pricey tour, however the itinerary of the tour itself was great and I'd definitely recommend doing it for a really fun night. In my opinion the highlight of the night was Viktor, who is an absolute asset to SecretEats. Viktor is knowledgeable, witty, enthusiastic and truly passionate about what he does. Whilst I'm sure he had certain facts about each venue and the city that he had to pass on, he was a brilliant conversationalist and we all really enjoyed chatting to him about history, the changing face of life in Vietnam, the pride he feels for his country and its people and how it compares to our lives in Australia etc. If you're lucky enough to get Viktor as your guide, you're in for a fantastic time!

An unforgettable night of stories, flavors, and hidden gems - Hoi An Secret Cocktails was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. Tien and Chelsea are incredible hosts who are warm, knowledgeable, and full of personality. They not only know their drinks but also know Hoi An inside and out. The evening felt like a magical journey. We wandered through charming alleys, rode on boats under lantern-lit skies, and sipped beautifully crafted cocktails that each told a story. Every drink was paired with delicious bites and fascinating pieces of Hoi An’s history and culture. We started at 5 PM and somehow the time just flew by. By the time we wrapped up around 11, it felt like we had shared a night with old friends. If you want to experience the real soul of Hoi An, its flavors, stories, and secret corners, this tour is a must.

Must go in Hoi an! - We had Chelsea and Tien as our guides, and it was fun. They were knowledgeable and made the night entertaining! I do not want to share the elements, but all the bars were interesting and had such good vibes. My personal favourite was the last stop, where we felt like we had the entire bar to ourselves, and the bartender had such great hospitality. Recommend this to everyone!

One of the best travel experiences I have ever had! - What an amazing experience. It was my first time with the Secret Eats & I honestly didn’t know what to expect. My host for the night, Leo, exceeded my expectations. He was knowledgeable, warm & authentic. We had deep convos which I totally didn’t expect for two strangers meeting for the first time. Great selections on all the places we went & I honestly can’t wait to go back. All in all, definitely a must try activity if you are in Hoi An. It is by far one of the best travel experiences I have ever done in my life & I look forward to trying out the activities again in different cities in the future

A must do to see another side of the old town and have some tasty cocktails - Great way to see the old town and some cool spots that you would never know existed. Guide was great, very friendly and passionate about what he does. 10 out of 10 would recommend and he booked this due to a recommendation from a friend. Had such a good time we arranged another event to have dinner in one of the restaurants visited in the tour. One thing I would highlight is you also get alot of food. We are before we went but would recommend you go a little hungry.

A top highlight of our trip to Hoi An! - We experienced the secret cocktail experience with our guide Tien and our entire group absolutely LOVED it. It was truly the highlight of our time in Hoi An as we saw more of the old Town, enjoyed drinks in very unique locations we never would have known about and ate local tapas we never would have known to order. Tien was incredibly knowledgeable about the local food and culture and he was great fun!

An excellent experience from beginning to end - Many thanks to our host, Tien, for making my husband’s birthday a special one. We loved walking through HoiAn Old Town from one secret stop to the next. Each cocktail was unique and delicious, as were the tapas. Tien was very easy to talk to and told great stories about HoiAn’s history. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits HoiAn!
