Hi there! Nice to meet you
Hoian nowadays is acting as Vietnam Tourism’s central hub. Plenty of DMC and Tour Operators pop up like mushroom after the rain selling same products to same destinations. I have worked in this Industry for almost 10 years and to the best of my knowledge as a local person, I would blend the trending taste of travel into the original culture in order to bring to you the off-the-beaten-track tours.

This is one of the best food tours we have done (from all around the world)
Thao was amazing, a very genuine person, with excellent English and knowledge of the local food scene. We were treated to an array of wonderful foods, that we would never have thought to visit otherwise. Most of which we're not the dishes that the tourist guides promote, these were truly local and Thao explained the background.
And there was so much food on offer, we were bursting at the seams. Thao also provided us local recommendations for the rest of our trip. Wonderful food tour

This was the highlight of our time in Hoi An. Thao is passionate and knowledgeable and took us to places we never would have found on our own where we could support local family businesses. She knew the stories behind the families and dishes we were eating which made the whole experience even better and we were able to visit parts of the town we hadn’t been to. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Hoi An who wants to get away from the overwhelm of the tourist spots.Wonderful Tour with Thao

My husband and I had a great time enjoying Hoi An's delicious food with Hoa. She took us to places that we would have not gone to by ourselves and explained what is special about each food we tried. We got to chat about history and current events. We felt like we were hanging out with a friend. She also gave us a lot local recommendations for our stay. It was a really fun tour!Fun and tasty day around Hoi An

Something came up urgently for Thao so we had the lovely Flower (Hoa) take us around for the food tour. Flowers English is excellent and she really brought the tour to life. We got to try food and experience places we would never have been able to without her. It was a very enjoyable, interesting and tasty experience. I would recommend highly to everyone visiting Hoi An. Thanks Flower - from Paul and the Tebbit family Lovely tour with Flower

Ok...so that was fun..and pushed my boundaries in such a good way! We walked around Hoi An with Thao who was super engaging and passionate about the food of her town. All the food she took us too was something we would have never found or tried on our own...and for the most part was delicious!
Thao was kind and informative and made the whole experience so interesting as well as tasty.
Highly recommend Eating in Hoi An

We are so pleased to have booked Thao's food tour. She was the perfect guide - friendly, passionate, knowledgeable, kind and easy to talk to.
Thanks to Thao, we learnt about the diversity of food in Hoi An (and Vietnam as a whole). We wouldn't have understood this without her.
You try a wonderful mix of delicious food on the tour. There are so many great places to try and as a bonus, Thao provided us with a list that we've been working through during our stay and they have all been delicious too. This tour was a great way to kick off our visit here! We are much richer for it. Fatastic Tour Guide!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Thao. This is much more than a food tour - it was like meeting up with a friend, having great conversation while indulging in excellent food and drinks. Thao infused history, personal stories, and trivia as we sampled different local dishes. She also brought us to her grandparents' home where we tried her aunt's personal take on egg coffee, cau lau and spring rolls, which were all delicious! I highly recommend experiencing Hoi An food through the eyes of the locals. Thanks again, Thao!Perfect start to our Hoi An Adventure

We thoroughly enjoyed our street food tasting tour with Thao. It was like nothing we have experienced before! She took us around street stalls which made us feel like we were eating like locals. She made us feel so comfortable and even adapted the food tour to suit our preferences. Would definitely recommend her be your guide!Hoi An Food Experience
