Disappointed
Wonderful guide that spoke good English and very knowledgeable about the foods we tried. This was our third food tour on our trip and cost twice as much as the others. We did feel a bit rushed and unlike our other tours, no Sani wipes were available, guide was touching our food. We learned later that there are many free food and other tours available and you only pay what you want.
Response from the operator: Dear Madam, Thank you for joining our food tour and for sharing your thoughts. We are truly sorry to hear that you felt disappointed, but we would like to clarify some points for future guests reading this review: Pricing: Our tour price is clearly listed on TripAdvisor and is in fact lower than many other food tours in Hoi An. We never charge more than the published rate. Cleanliness: Every stop on our tour provides wet tissues or wipes, as cleanliness and comfort are very important to us. Food preparation: When your husband found it difficult to roll the bánh xèo, I kindly offered to demonstrate at his request. This is a normal part of the cooking experience and always done with permission. “Free tours”: There are no free food tours in Hoi An. All professional tours here have set prices, as local families, guides, and restaurants must be fairly paid for their service. We take pride in providing a high-quality, authentic experience. Until now, we have been honored to receive many 5-star reviews from our guests who appreciated both our food knowledge and hospitality. We respect your opinion, but we also hope future travelers will see that our team works with honesty, passion, and fairness. Warm regards, Hoang ( owner )

Good local food and good times.
Our tour guide, Mr. Hoang, came on time (early) to meet and greet us. He was very accommodating to our small group to keep track of the time and pace while traveling with our toddler in a stroller. We enjoyed hearing the history of the many different local foods eaten and the restaurant owner stories to get a glimpse of life in Hoi An before and after the tourism boom. We also got to visit the lantern bridge and heavy touristy area for sightseeing. The tour didn't include any food tasting areas here since most of the restaurants are tourist traps and we skipped 1 dessert/snack area because we were full. Note that there was quite a bit of walking in this trip and some of which in traffic-busy roads, so bring good walking shoes and an umbrella in case it rains.
Response from the operator: Dea Mr Hoang, Thank you very much for joining our Street Food Tour in Hoi An and for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed learning about the history of our local dishes and the stories of the restaurant owners, as well as exploring some of the sights of Hoi An with Mr. Hoang. We truly appreciate your kind words about our guide. He will be very happy to know that his effort to accommodate your family, especially while traveling with a toddler, made your experience more comfortable. Your comments regarding the walking and traffic are also very helpful. We always try to keep our guests well-informed and comfortable, so your note will help future travelers prepare better. Thank you once again for choosing our tour. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Hoi An in the future for more memorable experiences. Warm regards, Hoang

Learning cooking in Vietnam
An enjoyable and learning experience. A touch of real life! The guest and his family are great and on the top if it the food we learned to cook under their supervision and the food we have tasted was excellent. An experience we definitely recommend to everybody.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hoi An street food Tour - Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Hoi An street food Tour - Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $24 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 street food Tour - Private Tour 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 Hoi An is not rushed.
Is Hoi An street food Tour - Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 20 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 street food Tour - Private Tour?
+
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 street food Tour - Private Tour 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 street food Tour - Private Tour?
+
Around 7 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hoi An street food Tour - Private Tour 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?
+

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.
