    Very special and romantic evening

    Tien organised and hosted a fantastic degustation dinner with excellent wine pairing, and make the evening very romantic and special for a special dinner on our honeymoon. The stories Tien told (in excellent English) about the chef and the venues we visited elevated the experience. The additional lantern boat ride and cocktail at a secret bar were also worthwhile additions to make the night really special. While it is slightly pricey for Vietnam, we felt it was absolutely worth it for a special occasion

    Truly Memorable Experience

    An impeccable and pristine experience. Tien the Host took great care of us. He is quite knowledgeable and puts everyone at ease while he makes the production look easy (it’s not). Highly recommend Secret EATS Hoi An! An amazing and heartfelt experience.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review! It means a great deal to know that our experience left such a lasting impression. We really appreciate your recommendation. If your friends or family ever find themselves in Vietnam, we hope you'll point them toward SecretEATS so they can create wonderful memories of their own.

    Secret dining in Hoi An

    Ah, this was simply one of the most fun experiences I have ever had! Tien, our host, picked us up from Su Retreat (our Villa at Hoi An), took us into town where we had some pre-dinner cocktails b4 heading to our Secret Dining experience at Mango Mango restaurant. The food and matching wines were simply amazing. We dined in a private wine room which had wonderful ambience. The secret dining experience is highly recommended. Especially for groups!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that the evening was one of the most fun experiences you've ever had. It was a pleasure hosting you Your kind recommendation means a lot to our team. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable SecretEATS experience in the future. And if any friends or family are planning a visit to Hoi An or Da Nang, we'd be truly grateful if you shared SecretEATS with them as well!

    Secret Gourmet Dining Experience in Hoi An: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.

    How much does Secret Gourmet Dining Experience in Hoi An cost?

    +

    Prices start at $109 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 Secret Gourmet Dining Experience in Hoi An 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 Secret Gourmet Dining Experience in Hoi An worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 19 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 Secret Gourmet Dining Experience in Hoi An?

    +

    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 Secret Gourmet Dining Experience in Hoi An 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 Secret Gourmet Dining Experience in Hoi An?

    +

    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 Secret Gourmet Dining Experience in Hoi An 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 Ancient Town Walking Tour with a Local, Hai Van Pass Motorbike Private Tour with Mister T Easy Rider, Hoi An Eco Tour Cooking Class & Fishing (Local market,basket boat,learn 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.
