Being an energetic person and passionate about discovering the world around me, I have formed a great passion for travel. In 2015, I began working as a tourguide, where I had the opportunity to taught and shared all of my friends about Vietnamese culture and cuisine. I have over 5 years of experience leading visitors to destinations throughout Central Vietnam, which has given me insight into the interests and passions of every traveler around the world. Because I was born in Hoi An Ancient Town, close to historical sites and assembly halls, I have a better understanding of the history here as well as Hoi An cuisine. This prompted me to embark on this tour.

The History Behind Every Dish Made This Tour Special
We had a wonderful experience on the Hoi An food tour with Billy. What I enjoyed most was that this was much more than simply being taken from one food stall to another. Billy introduced us to several local dishes, but, more importantly, he explained the history and stories behind the food. We learned why certain ingredients are used, how some dishes developed, and how Hoi An’s history as a trading port influenced its local cuisine. It made every dish feel much more meaningful. Instead of just thinking, “This tastes good,” we started to understand where the food came from and why it became part of Hoi An’s culture. The stories about the local people, traditions, and the way food has been passed down through generations were especially interesting. The food itself was delicious and we visited places that felt genuinely local rather than touristy. The pace was relaxed, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all our questions. If you enjoy food but also want to understand the culture and history behind what you eat, I highly recommend this tour. It gave us a much deeper appreciation of Hoi An and its cuisine.

Wonderful start in Hoi An
Today was my first day joining the tour with Billy Vietnam Travel, and it was such a wonderful start to my time in Hoi An! The tour was not only about tasting delicious local food, but also about discovering so many interesting things , the stories behind each dish, the local culture, and the daily life of people here. Everything was explained in a fun and easy way, which made the experience even more special. Among all the dishes we tried, my favorite was definitely bánh căn. The crispy edges, the soft center, and the rich dipping sauce were just perfect. I already want to have it again! A great first day, full of flavor and new knowledge. Looking forward to the rest of the journey!

This was my third tour booked with Billy Vietnam Travel, and once again it was fantastic!
Sue was an excellent guide, so knowledgeable and engaging throughout the day. Everything was well organised and enjoyable from start to finish. What I loved most was the White Rose Dumpling. It was definitely the highlight of the tour for me, delicious and such a unique experience. I would highly recommend this tour (and Billy Vietnam Travel in general) to anyone visiting the area. Thank you so much!

+

Around 166 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.

What should I bring or wear?

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?
