Ms Kim's walking tour
Good experience. Our guide was Ms Kim. Very honest and informative with all our stops. She was flexible enough to let us ride motorbikes instead of walking to the OldTown. From there she showed us where to park because motorbikes aren't allowed inside OldTown. She gave us tips on where to watch lanterns and have better photos. She was accommodating to let us try stops that weren't part of our IT list. She let us try different foodstuffs and drinks even if it wasn't part of the list, too. Love the Hoi An experience.
Response from the operator: Hi! Thank you so much for your kind review. We’re thrilled you had a great experience with Ms. Kim. We truly appreciate you highlighting her honesty, flexibility, and how helpful she was Thanks again for choosing Hoi An—hope to welcome you back for more memorable moments soon!

Great guide Kim
Kim is a great responsible guide! Pobably better to do the tour in the morning or evening during summer
Response from the operator: Hi! Thanks so much for your review and appreciation . We’re happy to know you enjoyed so much the tour And yes—great tip! In summer, it’s usually better to book the tour in the morning or evening to avoid the hottest part of the day. Thanks again for sharing!

Perfect introduction to Old Hoi An
We loved our private tour with Kim. She showed us places we would not have seen. We loved the silk shop visit and the bridge. The architecture lesson was fabulous. Kim was courteous and fun!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you loved your private tour with Kim. We’re also happy that you found the architecture lesson fabulous. Kim will be delighted to hear your kind words—thank you for mentioning that she was courteous and fun. We hope to welcome you again on your next visit!

Group tour became private tour
Small or private tour gives best experience. My guide was tour operator. Great added value and comfortably paced excursion. App allows DaNang pick-up but does not mention driver supplement due extra 1hr before/after tour which is scheduled to start in HoiAn. Personalised and infomative. Good value. The food tasting at end of tour made the trip ideal.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We’re happy you loved the small/private tour, the comfortable pace, and the added value. Thanks also for your note about the pickup timing and driver supplement. We’re glad you enjoyed the personalised and informative experience—and especially the food tasting at the end. Thanks again!

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hoi An Old Town and local Food: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Hoi An Old Town and local Food cost?
+
Prices start at $26 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hoi An 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 Old Town and local Food take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Hoi An is not rushed.
Is Hoi An Old Town and local Food worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 48 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hoi An, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hoi An Old Town and local Food?
+
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 Old Town and local Food suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Hoi An Old Town and local Food?
+
Around 17 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 Hoi An 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 Hoi An and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hoi An Old Town and local Food 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 Hoi An 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 Hoi An?
+
On Outty we rank every Hoi An experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include HOI AN Hidden Gems in Rural Villages & River Islands PRIVATE TOUR, Coconut Jungle Eco & Hoi An City Tour With Boat Ride, Cooking Class Hoi An:Local Market, Basket Boat, Fishing & Cooking. 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 Hoi An?
+
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 Hoi An?
+
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.
