Evening Food & Culture Tour

Discover the magic of Hoi An after dark as colorful lanterns illuminate the Ancient Town and hidden alleyways come alive with local flavors. This small-group evening tour takes you beyond the typical tourist restaurants to authentic family-run eateries where generations of locals have gathered to enjoy traditional cuisine.

Walk alongside an enthusiastic local guide through peaceful streets, hidden corners, and charming neighborhoods while learning about Hoi An’s rich culinary heritage and vibrant nightlife culture.

Throughout the evening, enjoy more than eight authentic local dishes carefully selected from family-owned restaurants and traditional food vendors. Visit the lively night market and lesser-known food streets where local residents gather for their evening meals.

Take a relaxing break inside a traditional old house to enjoy a cup of local herbal tea while learning about the customs and traditions that have shaped Hoi An’s unique food culture.

One of the highlights of the evening is the opportunity to release a colorful lantern on the peaceful Hoai River, a beloved local tradition symbolizing good luck, happiness, and future wishes.
