The idea behind our tour is simple:in Hoi An there are around 120 restaurants catering to visitors with another 400 or so vendors and eating establishments catering to locals with foods that don’t usually appear on visitor menus. This is the food of the local Hoi An people - some call it street food - many with recipes passed down from generation to generation. Our tour gives visitors a safe opportunity to try these foods – we ensure the food is handled hygienically and provide a comfortable venue for the tastings. « less

Neville takes you beyond expectations on his Taste of Hoi An tour. He is so knowledgeable, witty, knows his food, and delightful to be around. We tried 42 different dishes visiting street vendors, restaurants, and even stopped and had a delicious coconut Popsicle. Everything was so fresh and safe to eat (very important). Do book far in advance. Neville responds... More

Dear Neville, I will not write a review praising you. I will not say what a great experience and a superb time I had. I will not mention what a great and knowledgeable host you were. Nor the food I tasted. All I can tell everybody who plan to visit Hoi An is go forth and ask Neville to pick... More

Neville Dean (The Teacher and his great wife Colleen and their incredible staff) run a neat little tour here - mostly lots of food tasting (DON'T eat before you go!) mixed in with an education about the what's and why's of the foods your tasting stirred up with the Vietnamese culture. He knows lots of the locals which you meet... More

This tour is a must if you wanttoknowall the secrets of real Vietnamese food. Neville is a true character, genuinely enraptured with the vietnamese people, their way of life, and their food. His tour is worth every penny! You will be entertained from the moment you are picked up at your hotel until the last bite. We sampled well over... More

This was the perfect introduction to Hoi An and its delicious food. Neville is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does! We're glad we booked this tour for our first day in Hoi An as the Lonely Planet guide is pretty much useless when it comes to food recommendations. It's extremely good value for a 5 hour tour and...

Well what a food experience today has been. Neville our guide put our taste buds through a test which had us salivating with every turn. From the start Vietnamese smoothie to a banana wrapped meat treats. We walked the streets trying food from different food stalls all over town and the market. Do not have breakfast!

This is a great tour. Neville, the host, takes you through a food market and the streets of Hoi An. You get to taste 40 local specialities. Not only do you learn what's worth eating, but also where to get it. Great host. Great food. There's so much to eat that you should avoid eating breakfast before you go.
