I did the Hoi An Night Market food tour with Ms. Young. We were joined by another solo traveler.
The context of my rating is based on the fact that I did three other food tours in my time in Vietnam; two in Ho Chi Minh, and one in Danang. What I really liked about those other tours is that I felt I got a lot of color about both the food and the locale from my tour guides. I didn't get that feeling from this tour. The food was very good, and Ms. Young adjusted the tour as my compatriot really wanted to try the mussels, which wasn't on the original itinerary. I just felt the tour was lacking beyond the food.
We started with white rose dumplings. They were delicious. We didn't get much history on how they originated and what makes them different. That theme continued throughout the tour; delicious food, not a lot of background. It was a good tour, not a great one.
