Explore the wonderful Hoi An river culture and daily life while you immerse yourself in Hoi An food culture.This tour isn’t only about eating delicious food, it is about enjoying it the traditional way: “an com gia dinh” literally translated as the family meal. Sharing a family meal is the foundation of Vietnamese culture. The real treasure in Vietnamese food isn’t the combination of the dishes, it is about sharing.

It is about taking time and hearing the news of the day.
