Hoi An Street Food Walking Tour

  • Hoi An
  • Day trip
  • Small group
  • Hotel pickup

A 2.5-hour evening walk through Hoi An with a local guide, tasting banh mi, cao lau, chicken rice, BBQ pork rolls, rice dumplings and more at well-loved street stalls. Not suitable for vegetarians.

Hoi An's food is a big part of its story, and the best of it is found at small stalls rather than restaurants. On this 2.5-hour walk your local guide leads you through lively streets as the evening comes on, stopping at places locals love.

You'll taste the town's signatures – banh mi and cao lau – along with com ga chicken rice, BBQ pork rolled in rice paper with herbs, banh bot loc dumplings and, for the brave, balut egg (or a grilled chicken egg instead). By 7:30 PM you've had a full meal and you're in the old town just as the lanterns come into their own.

  • Hoi An's signatures: banh mi and cao lau noodles
  • Com ga (chicken rice), BBQ pork rolls and banh bot loc rice dumplings
  • Balut egg or grilled chicken egg for the adventurous
  • A local English-speaking guide explaining each dish
  • Finish in the lantern-lit old town at 7:30 PM
