Turn down a small alley to a local family business for bánh bèo, a favourite snack of Hoi An people, and chat with the owners.

Local Expert Notes by Jimmy
- Come hungry – there are six or more tastings plus dinner.
- Full moon nights: on the 14th day of each lunar month the Old Town turns off electric lights and hangs extra lanterns – ask us for the dates during your stay.
- Old Town ticket: visitors walking into the Old Town need an entrance ticket (VND 120,000 for international visitors in 2026); any entrance fees on our route are included.
- Tết 2027: Lunar New Year falls on 6 February 2027; some family workshops close for several days, so a few stops may change.
- New addresses: since 1 July 2025 Hoi An and My Son are part of Da Nang city after the merger with the former Quang Nam province, so you may see “Da Nang” on hotel and ticket addresses.
