Would book again in a heartbeat - Would 100% recommend! I ended up with private tour as no one else was booked. So much yummy food and Sue did a great job of explaining the history and context of Hue's iconic dishes. It was my first experience riding on back of scooter and I loved it! It was a great way to get a sense of the city in a short time as I had less than 24hrs in Hue so limited time to explore.

Eat like a local - If you’re a food explorer and open to new tastes, this is a wonderful way to eat delicious local food where the locals eat it (we didn’t see a foreigner anywhere). Sue is an excellent guide and the flavors are wonderful. Highly recommended!!

Wonderful exploration of regional Hue food! - Sue led me on an excellent food tour through Hue, and we tried many region dishes that I would never have discovered otherwise. She has expert knowledge of the city, and led me on an exploration of Dong Ba Market and a few other interesting places. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Spectacularly delicious food tour with My! - Phenomenal food tour of all the authentic Hue eats! My was a spectacular guide, who took my wife and I to try all the best spots. We ate all the flavors and authentic dishes of the city. Some of our favorites were the nem chua, delicious che dessert, and cơm hền. My is most knowledgeable of the local history and best town spots. She is a hilarious and witty guide. 100% recommend the walking tour option with My for families, small groups, and couples. Thank you My!

An absolute must!!! - The tour was brilliant and would highly recommend and encourage you pick this tour. Matthew’s enthusiasm and love for his city is contagious. His knowledge of the history of the town and food is exceptional. The food was delicious and you certainly don’t go hungry. Would suggest use the cyclos. Thanks Matthew for sharing with us.

Delicious local food experience - This tour was the highlight of our Hue experience. Matthew was super nice and explained the story behind each food. We wouldn’t be able to find these local food places ourselves. Loved it!

Best food tour in Hue - We booked a private food tour with Matt, and it was truly exceptional. I encourage anyone to consider booking this tour. Matt guided us to authentic local spots we wouldn't have discovered on our own. The flavors we experienced were outstanding, and Matt's storytelling skills were equally impressive. It's a fantastic way to immerse yourself in food, culture, and history simultaneously.

Tour guide was a no show. Do not book. - We were looking forward to this food tour as we have gone on a few in Vietnam and loved them. Unfortunately the tour guide did not show up. We messaged the operator after 5 minutes of waiting but got no reply. We waited for 30 minutes before leaving. The operator replied to our message 5 hours later only after we contacted trip advisor and asked for a refund. There was one other review on the website stating they didn’t show up but we decided to give them the benefit of the doubt as he had other great reviews. Very disappointing. Definitely would not recommend.
