What you'll see and do
Hoi An
The evening food tour invites guests on a culinary experience around Hoi An. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by the team of professional food guides. Before we get started, the tour reflects the local cuisine, and the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: - Unsuitable for vegetarian diets sorry, as there would be 3-4 less tastings. - Unsuitable for severe allergies, halal and celiac diets, due to the risk of traces and cross-contamination. If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

Hoi An
Discover another side to Hoi An’s heritage in a curated food adventure like no other. We begin with a steaming bowl of cao làu noodles, hand-cut from the original family house using water hauled that morning from the millennia-old Bà Lê well. This movable feast is just getting started, with 15+ tastings in all - from smoky marinated meat skewers to shredded com gà chicken with fragrant rice. Tucked away is an alleyway joint serving black sesame xí mà soup for over 70 years, made of the same secret recipe as the centenarian couple that invented it. Next we’ll venture to the market to find stalls discovered by Anthony Bourdain, where the tapioca shrimp dumplings hail from the royal court kitchens of Huế.

Hoi An
The culinary odyssey takes us to the nearby island village of Tra Que, for an exclusive invite from an organic farmer to the 400 year-old community. There’s a hands-on experience to fire-grill rice paper and pluck fresh herbs, before gorging on a farm-to-table feast: claypot braised eggplant, sizzling bánh xèo pancake, and “three friends” spring onion rolls, among more delicious surprises.
60 minutes here
Hoi An
Back in town, we’ll learn how the same family has been delicately wrapping Hoi An’s white rose dumplings for over 100 years, tossing the chopsticks over this one-of-a-kind dish. Get ready to explore the real foodie scene tourists don't know and you'd struggle to find alone. Come hungry - the passionate guides are your ultimate hosts to Hoi An’s melting pot of Vietnamese cuisine.

A truly memorable experience - thanks Andy
Our guide Andy made this a totally memorable evening. My son and I love our food and this did not disappoint- so many different flavours and experiences, ranging from local Cau Lau, to Black Sesame soups, visiting the house where it was introduced to the country. As we tried more and more, we jumped into a Grab to the working Vegetable village where we observed the workers, cooked our own rice paper on coals and ate in the restaurant attached. Succulent rolls, flavoursome herbs and beautiful braised aubergine. We loved every second - Andy was knowledgable, friendly and made the evening! Thank you so Much

Foodies paradise
Sonny was a wonderful host - he took us around all the local spots and all the food we sampled was excellent. He was very knowledgeable the local traditions and customs, and meeting local people who make the food was also a highlight. Overall, I highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves food! Be warned though - come hungry as there is plenty of different food to try!

Great tour for experiencing Hoi An cuisine
Great food tour with unique local perspective from Quin. She took us to places we never would have found on our own and ordered food that was uniquely found in Hoi An. We especially loved the rice cracker making experience, and the dishes near the organic farm - so fresh and beautifully presented. Quin was so sweet, she even helped us purchase some tea that we were looking for. Highly recommend this tour - if you book it, come hungry!

An Excellent, Well Paced and Delicious Evening With Leo
This tour is carefully curated, very well paced and allows you to try unique local dishes you probably would never find on your own. Our guide Leo was fun to be with. His English is exceptional and he was very polite and informative. We genuinely enjoyed every single one of the tastings and stops. Even though I tried to pace myself I was overly full at the end of the night. We booked the private experience and enjoyed it as it felt more intimate but I am confident the group experience would also be enjoyable. The black sesame pudding and rice cracker experiences, and the people we met were very special. We did the Hanoi tour as well and both are excellent with no real overlap of food. I would thoroughly recommend both tours as they are so different and you will learn so much!

Best Guide. Best way to eat the city.
We had the best time. Our guide Leo was so awesome. So friendly and knowledgeable. He made it really special and fun. It was so great getting to know the city through its food. Everything we ate was amazing. The coolest part was getting to try food and places we probably would have never found on our own. Can’t wait to do it in other cities.

Hoi An Bites Food Tour with 15+ Tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Da Nang.
How much does Hoi An Bites Food Tour with 15+ Tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Da Nang usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hoi An Bites Food Tour with 15+ Tastings take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Da Nang is not rushed.
Is Hoi An Bites Food Tour with 15+ Tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Da Nang, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hoi An Bites Food Tour with 15+ Tastings?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hoi An Bites Food Tour with 15+ Tastings suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hoi An Bites Food Tour with 15+ Tastings?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Da Nang can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Da Nang and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hoi An Bites Food Tour with 15+ Tastings start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Da Nang within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Da Nang?
+
On Outty we rank every Da Nang experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Golden Bridge and Ba Na Hills Small Group Tour, Easy Rider Motorbike Tour via Hai Van Pass From DaNang/HoiAn/Hue, Linh Ung Pagoda - Marble Mountains - Hoi An Ancient Town Daily Ingroup Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Da Nang?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Da Nang?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
