Every Bite. Every Stop.
All in the Price.
One fixed price covers your vehicle, guide, every food tasting, the full dinner and hotel pickup. Nothing to pay on the night except drinks.
Private Vespa or Jeep
Your own vintage Vespa or US Army Jeep with an English-speaking guide for the whole evening. Never shared with other travellers.
Sunset Café Stop
Start the evening at a café by the rice paddies — Vietnamese coffee or fresh juice while the sun sets. The guide introduces you to Hội An's cuisine as the light turns golden.
All Food Tastings
White Rose dumplings, Bánh Căn, grilled meats, beef in vinegar sauce and more — every tasting at every vendor is fully included. 7–8 dishes across the evening.
Riverside Nhậu Dinner
A sit-down dinner at a local riverside restaurant in traditional Vietnamese nhậu style — sharing plates, cold beer atmosphere and real local flavour. Fully included (drinks extra).
Hotel Pickup & Drop-off
Door-to-door from your accommodation anywhere in Hội An city — both directions included in the price.
English-Speaking Guide
Your driver is also your guide throughout the evening — explaining each dish, its history and how it's made. A local who knows the best vendor for every speciality.
4 Hours.
7 Unforgettable Bites.
From a golden-hour sunset over the rice fields to the brightly lit lantern streets of the Ancient Town — this is Hội An through its food, from the first sip of coffee to the last piece of grilled meat by the river.

16:30
Hotel Pickup — Hội An
Your guide arrives at your hotel on a vintage Vespa or US Army Jeep. Helmets (for Vespa guests) are fitted and you're off into the early evening light.
-
17:00
Sunset Café — Rice Paddy View
Your evening opens not with a dish but with a view. A countryside café overlooking the flat green rice fields. Sip Vietnamese coffee or fresh juice as the sun drops. Your guide introduces you to the philosophy and flavours of Hội An cuisine — the history on the plate.
-
17:40
White Rose Dumplings — Bánh Vạc
The dish Hội An is most famous for. Delicate hand-folded rice paper dumplings shaped like rose petals — filled with seasoned shrimp and served with a sweet-tangy dipping sauce. Made only in Hội An, by one family that has held the recipe for generations.
-
18:10
Bánh Căn — Rice Mini-Pancakes
Small round pancakes made with rice flour, turmeric, coconut milk and quail egg — cooked on clay pots at a famous street vendor near Hoài Square. Crispy outside, soft inside, eaten with a green herb and fish sauce dip.
-
18:40
Hidden Back Streets — Grilled Meats & Stir-Fried Corn
Into the alleyways most visitors never find. Smoke rising from charcoal grills, the smell of lemongrass and fish sauce in the air. Grilled meats on skewers and stir-fried corn from a pavement stall — the kind of stop that makes street food tours worth doing.
-
19:10
Beef in Vinegar Sauce — Thịt Bò Nướng
Thin slices of beef cooked tableside in a vinegar-pineapple broth, wrapped in rice paper with herbs, starfruit and green banana. A dish that requires technique and patience — the guide shows you how it's done before you try it yourself.
-
19:45
Riverside Nhậu Dinner
The final stop: a local restaurant on the Thu Bồn River. Nhậu (pronounced "nyow") is the Vietnamese tradition of eating and drinking together — shared plates, cold beer, laughter. A proper sit-down dinner in the way Vietnamese people do it, not the tourist version. Fully included.
-
20:30
Drop-off at Your Hotel
Back to your accommodation in Hội An — or, if you're not ready for the evening to end, your guide can drop you in the Ancient Town so you can explore the lantern-lit streets on your own.
Hội An's Greatest Hits.
Every Single One.
From the city's most iconic dumplings to dishes that only exist in the back-alley stalls no tour bus ever stops at — this evening covers the full spectrum of Hội An street food.

What Guests Say.
Unfiltered.
"Best evening of our whole Vietnam trip. We'd eaten White Rose before, but never like this — sitting in the little shop where they're actually made. The sunset café was magical and the nhậu dinner felt genuinely local, not touristy at all."
"I went with the Jeep option and it was perfect — open-air, cinematic, the old town lit up around us. The guide knew every vendor by name and gave real context about each dish. Seven courses in four hours and I wanted more."
"As a solo traveller I was a bit nervous but the guide was so warm and the whole thing felt totally private and personal. The Bánh Căn and the beef dish were incredible — I went back and found the vendors again the next day on my own."
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything guests ask before booking.

Both options follow the exact same route and visit the same vendors and restaurants — the only difference is the vehicle. The Vespa ($85/pax) is the classic, intimate way to explore Hội An — you ride pillion with your guide through the streets. The Jeep ($105/pax) is a restored US Army open-top vehicle from the Vietnam War era — more space, a more open ride, great for those who prefer not to ride a motorbike.
