Amazing food tour with Ben! - Our food tour was amazing, Ben is a fantastic guide and had such a brilliant selection of restaurants/food spots. We tried so many local Hue specialities and were well informed about how to eat certain dishes, the traditions and history behind dishes and more. It was fantastic - I cannot recommend Ben enough! Thank you!

A whirlwind of Hue cuisine! - My girlfriend and I decided to do this food tour so we could learn more about the food of Hue and Vietnam. We were absolutely impressed by the tour. Our guide Ben did an excellent job not only taking us to the best spots to get certain dishes, but explaining the history and culture behind each dish and its significance. We tried 9 dishes in total, thankfully we shared many of them as there was no way we could have eaten every dish on our own. Ben even showed us the best Thai place in Hue and made sure we safely got back to our route of travel back to our homestay. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about the food and culture and getting to try foods you would may not ordinarily try because you don't know much about it.

Best food tour in Hue - Excellent food tour, Tzchem went out of his way to accommodate our requests and took us around to try so many delicious local dishes. He explained the story behind every dish, talked us through the ingredients and the preparation all the while giving us the right context to better understand a little bit more about Vietnam and its culture. The tour is a breeze as you’re taken around by motorbike. Get ready to walk away on a full belly - thanks for the coffee at the end T!

Great tour! Loved walking and eating around the city with Ben! - I had an awesome time on the Hue Authentic Street Food Tour! Ben, my guide, was great—he reached out on WhatsApp beforehand to confirm everything and make sure we were all set. Super helpful and friendly from the start. The tour itself was a relaxed ~3-mile walk, across 3 hours, and we tried so many different types of food. Ben was really flexible with the menu, too—he listened to what I wanted to try (since I was the only person on my particular tour) and made sure to include a mix of things that fit my tastes. Every stop was something new, and Ben explained the cultural background behind each dish, which made it even more special. Because Ben is a local and knows the vendors, they know how much food is consumed in total on the tour and don’t get offended if you can’t finish (which is a common social thing to be aware of apparently!) If you’re in Hue and want a laid-back, delicious way to experience the local food scene, definitely check out this tour! You get a lot of food, so I thought it was good for the value!

A great night out - There was only the two of us on this tour so we had our wonderful guide Ben all to ourselves. We ate at places we possibly would not have been game to go into but all 6 vendors served us fabulous, fresh local fare. We learnt about how the food came about and regional favourites. Not too much walking but as we went past places of interest Ben pointed it out and gave us a history lesson on Hue.

Good introduction to Hue's food - This was a good food tour and a nice way to get a feel for Hue. Ben we would easily give 5 stars to, he was so helpful and friendly and his English was fantastic! He even pushed the tour back by half an hour for us, as we were the only ones on the tour, to give us time to check in to our hotel as we had only just arrived in Hue. He also took us for a walk along the river to see a show that was going on that night which was really sweet. The food was good and varied but each of the locations was pretty far apart and some of them felt slightly in the middle of nowhere. It was a good tour though, we enjoyed trying the food, it just wasn't our favourite food tour. Ben though was brilliant and we really enjoyed his company.
