A tour worth taking! - Kim and Swan were amazing guides and the tour was well planned out. It was great to see how the traditional methods were still used for growing and preparing food. Kim and Swan both provided wonderful insights into the role food plays in Hoi An and daily life. The food we got to try on the tour was yummy, diverse and items we wouldn’t normally seek out without guidance. Thank you both for an awesome evening. 10/10 - would highly recommend.

Don’t miss this amazing experience. - I was lucky enough to enjoy a solo, early morning tour with the wonderful guide, Kiwi. The 3.5-hour Hoi An walking food tour was one of the absolute highlights of my trip. The route was perfectly planned — a relaxed stroll through charming side streets, visits to local homes where I learned about their produce, and time exploring the lively food market.
The balance of iconic dishes and hidden local surprises was just right. Every stop, whether at a family home, a market stall, or a small restaurant, offered not only delicious flavours but also fascinating stories and cultural insights.
Kiwi was warm, friendly, and an incredible source of knowledge. She made the experience fun, personal, and memorable from start to finish.
I can’t recommend this tour highly enough to anyone visiting Hoi An — it’s the perfect way to discover the city’s food, culture, and local life.
Tip: tour includes lots of walking so comfortable shoes is a must, along with a hat.

Wonderful tour off the beaten path - Wonderful tour of Hoo An’s traditional food scene. From touring the home of a 4th generation noodle maker to visiting the local market for street food to tasting the best Bahn Mi in Hoi An, the tour was perfect. Our guides were knowledgeable and kind snd shared so much information about the Vietnamese culture in Hoi An. We truly loved this tour. Come hungry!

Excellent mornng spent seeing another side od Hoi An - Excellent slow paced walking tour. It was good to get away from the over touristy areas as well as seeing some of the old town. The tour guides were very helpful and tailored to our interests. We tried lots of different local foods as well as seeing how they are locally produced.

Real the real Hoi An - Get off the beaten track and see some of the real Hoi An. Starts with some tours of the factories and workshops where they make the noodles and the like and the like. Then there's a food extravaganza! Probably something like eight courses of amazing Vietnamese street food
Super friendly and helpful guides, a great start to any trip to Hoi An

Awesome Experience - We booked the "Hidden Gems of Old Town Hanoi" and had a great time! Even though we had to get up really early to start the tour at 6am, it was more than worth it! This way we could see the producers in action and also were finished before the sun became too hot. There was a lot of food and information to digest but everything was delicious and we got to try a variety of dishes we would have never found by ourselves! And perhaps most importantly, we got to know a bit about the background of the owners at each of the many stations! We also had enough to drink along the way and overall were very well taken care of by our two amazing guides Kiwi and Quinni. Thank you very much!

The best trip you can join in Hoi An! Professional, amazingly well organized, and interesting. Worth every penny! - If you enjoy good food, want to experience local life, and try things you wouldn't normally do without the guidance of Angiee Adventures, this is the trip for you! It wasn't easy to wake up for a 6 am start, but we're glad we did. The guides were very attentive, professional, and spoke excellent English. We were also impressed with how well everything was organized; the guides communicated seamlessly with other partners to ensure the tour ran smoothly. Don't eat anything beforehand, as there will be plenty of delicious food!
Thanks again, Kiwi and Leo, for an unforgettable morning. We're very happy we joined the tour.

Must do activity for visitors to Hoi An ! - Our guide Kiwi and Leo were great, we were very lucky to have them as guides, they were attentive to questions, flexible and accommodating. Kiwi was able to give great insights as she is from Hoi An. They were engaging, not overly chatty and gave good tips and stories about how the Cao Lau was made, the processing of bean sprouts and even the local market tour. Kiwi shared the best secret to drinking Vietnamese Coffee (you got to ask her for the secret). They care deeply about their customers and even helped with transport arrangements after the tour. We greatly appreciate that. This is a recommended tour for anyone who wants to learn a little more about Hoi An.

A+++ Authentic local food tour - This was an outstanding tour for our four teenagers and four adults! Harry our guide, was lots of fun, informative and he took us on a tour through the streets where we sampled a wide variety of authentic culinary dishes. It was so interesting to see where the locals lived and worked. As kiwis, it was an experience we will never forget.

Brilliant Traditional Experience in Hoi An - Kiwi & Leo are amazing tour guides. They took their time to explain the history of the old family factories that have been making traditional noodles for 4 generations! Truly loved to learn how the amazing bean sprout is grown. The tour of the fresh fruit and wet market was brilliant. We sat with multiple vendors enjoying their particular product they sold. We also enjoyed one of the best Banh Mi’s and also the Cau Lau noodle dish along with multiple bits of history throughout the old city. Highly recommend this tour for everyone and everyone that is looking for a more traditional experience!
