Da Nang & Hoi An tour overview

Why this trip

  • Two and a half hours on foot through Hoi An at dinner time, eating where the locals eat.
  • Banh mi, cao lau noodles and Hoi An chicken rice, the three dishes the town is known for.
  • BBQ pork rolled in rice paper with herbs, and banh bot loc dumplings with shrimp or green beans.
  • For the brave, a balut egg. For everyone else, a grilled chicken egg.

An honest note: this tour is not for vegetarians, and the food is street food: plastic stools, busy stalls and no menu to choose from. It ends in the Old Town rather than back at your hotel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for planning this trip with Ava Travel.

Yes. Six tastings add up to a full meal for most people.
Not on this tour. Almost every stop is built on pork, chicken or egg. Ask us about a cooking class instead.
The tour runs from two people. Travelling alone, ask us and we check whether a departure has others booked.
The group price is per person. The private price is the total for your party and the table on this page shows it for every group size. Prices are in US dollars and include taxes and service charges, and there is no booking fee or card surcharge, so the total at checkout is the total you pay.
Within one hour. We come back to you with the pickup time, the meeting point and your guide, and tell you what to bring.
More than 30 days before departure costs nothing. From 30 to 11 days we keep 15 per cent, from 10 to 7 days 30 per cent, and inside 7 days or a no-show is charged in full. Changing your date counts as a cancellation and a new booking. If we cancel, or weather makes the tour unsafe, we move your date at no cost or refund you in full.
