      Very enjoyable afternoon with great food
      This tour is a great way to explore the city of Hue and the food it has to offer. Sitting in a cyclo is a totally relaxing mode of transportation: there is always a light breeze, and one sees and smells the city in a much more direct way than on a scooter or in a car. I liked that we didn't just eat, but also explored the market and saw the produce, fish and meat. The tour is very well designed and we didn't feel stuffed at the end. There is more than enough food - we didn't need or want dinner afterwards - but it wasn't too much. We ate at many different places in different parts of the city, from hip cafes to small holes in the wall. Overall this is a very well designed tour, and in our case we had a great guide to add to the enjoyment.

      Amazing tour de force through Hue's culinary scene
      Thom was an amazing guide. We are two foodies and loved the super-well prepared and thought-through tour that Thom has put together. It was only the two of us booking that afternoon and Thom made an amazing experience out of it. First we saw the massive list of things we were going to try and could not imagine how that would work (and fit in our bellies), but it was so well designed and varied between smaller and bigger portions, that in the end we could try and enjoy it all! Also, it was super interesting to learn more about the different preparation techniques and looooong ingredient lists that go into preparing typical vietnamese dishes. The next day, we even went to a few of our favorite places again! Definitely recommend and well worth its price.

      Integrity
      I leave this review to highlight Mr Thoms honesty and integrity. We booked this tour from Australia and whilst here in Vietnam during the Coronavirus pandemic we contacted Mr Thom to make sure the tour was still operating as we had had some problems in Hoi An. He kept in contact with us and checked which restaurants were open and willing to serve us and u fortunately he had to cancel as he felt the tour would not be up to his usual standard. We really appreciate the honesty and wish you all the best in these troubling times. I’m sure this tour would have been a highlight of our stay

      Unfortunately our tour had to be cancelled, but Thom not only emailed us, he also called to make sure we knew, to apologize and to recommend restaurants and give tips. He also gave us a gift in apology. Such a lovely man! Wish we had been able to go with him, he went above and beyond!

      Great tour with history of dishes
      Myself and 5 friends took this tour with Thom and we all had a great time.He is very informative and safe during the tour and takes you to clean places and offers sanitized wipes with each meal.He also gives you a little history of each dish.And getting to be chauffeured around in a cyclo to and from each place for 4 hours makes you feel like royalty.Highly recommend

      Tour of the city and its food
      We had a fantastic time on this tour. Mr Thom was an excellent host and we travelled around the city in cyclos stopping to try different local dishes. We also stopped at the market to learn about the ingredients that are used in the cooking and their medicinal properties. There was lots to eat but it was well balanced and ended in a cafe. It was excellent value for money. The cyclo tour around the city covered both sides of the river and gave you a good idea about the different areas. Mr Thom was good with hygiene having plenty of wipes and sanitiser on hand. Mr Thom also has a good command of english and happily answers all your questions. Highly recommended

      A Great Way to Safely Sample a Wide Variey of Vietnamese Street Food
      If you are a foodie, then this is a must. Thom is very careful about hygiene and is a great guide, and introduced us to foods that we would not have otherwise experienced.

      Fantastic!
      We've had an amazing afternoon! Nice tour around the city in cyclos, which was very comfortable. We tried around 17 dishes in many different places: small restaurants, shops and the market. Most were new flavors for us, so it was a great experience! Recommended for all foodies!

      Thom is lovely and the food is delicious!
      Had a lovely afternoon with Thom and the cyclo guys. Warm, welcoming and friendly from the offset, we explored places highly regarded by locals including some hidden restaurants. Everything was explained by Thom, including how the history came to shape the food (really interesting considering it's the former capital). Highly recommended, delicious, and you will be stuffed!

      Galloping gourmets!
      My daughter and I had a wonderful morning with a very knowledgeable and amusing Mr Thom. We enjoyed the many different foods and flavours of real Vietnamese cooking; to appreciate the importance of matching the right herbs with different meats and fish; and to learn about the beliefs surrounding the beneficial effects of certain herbs and spices. I would suggest that you do not eat breakfast beforehand and will certainly not need lunch afterwards! This is an experience not to be missed!

      Great food....great company.
      Thom is fantastic!!!! Very interesting guy.....his knowledge of the local food and history is superb. The cyclo ride is also a great way to enjoy sightseeing and a good way to digest between meal stops. The food is plentiful and delicious. Thom takes you to many food stalls to sample tons of different dishes. You will only want to eat breakfast before you go.

      A tour of tasty treats
      This is the best way to get to taste the local cuisine. Thom the director picked us up from our hotel and gave us a itinerary for the next four hours of tasting different foods and seeing the sights. All of the foods we experienced were the best the city has to offer. All in out of the way restaurants and cafes visited via a cyclo. Tom explained the history of all the meals, where the vegetables and meats came from. Went through a market as well, anything from quail eggs to beef available. Thom is fluent in English and a all around gentleman. A five star rating

    Our family thoroughly enjoyed the morning Hue flavor street food tour. Thom is so friendly and knowledgeable, he showed us many new local fruits and vegetables in the market. The cyclop drivers are also very experienced amidst the busy traffic. Highly recommended!!

    One word. Superb. Don’t miss this tour. Mr. Thom was a friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and organized guide. We happened to be the only two on this trip. First, Mr. Thom was good about confirming and arrived at the pick up spot early with our two Cyclo drivers, who were also great. One note: don’t eat anything ahead of your tour - there is so much delicious food. Come with an adventurous appetite. We had over 11 “samples” (more like meals) and were pleasantly full (Ok, slightly stuffed). We tried many foods that we had seen but were unsure how to order, eat, etc. and Mr. Thom (whose English was very good) de-mystified so much. He also selected the “best of” from each of the places we visited. The staff at each place and in the market were well acquainted with Mr. Thom and were quick to bring us the selected dishes. Loved going through the Dong Ba market and briefly learned about how herbs are used in cooking and health as well as one of the more exotic fruits. Mr. Thom bought a few things that we were able to sample later. Bonus: in addition to the food, it was fun cruising the streets of Hue on the cyclo. Very different vantage point and our drivers were excellent at navigating the mildly crazy traffic around town and pointing out places of interest. Highly recommend Mr. Thom and this tour. Book it early in your stay to to get the benefit of his recommendations during your stay.

    I came up from Da Nang for the day and knew I wanted to try different food in Hue. I am so glad I booked this tour with Thom. He was super professional, and it was a great way to see the city and sample all kinds of food. All the places we ate at were delicious. I would have never been able to go to all these places on my own, and it was amazing to have a local who knows where to eat. It was also fun riding the cyclo around and getting to see the local market! Would definitely recommend this tour for all who are in Hue. Come hungry as it’s a lot of food!

    Amazing guide. Sadly I arrived too late to do the street food tour - but Thom was still so so helpful just from his own kindness. He sent me 5 or 6 amazing food recommendations for whatever I asked for, and also recommended great guides round the city. He was lovely and I would so recommend. I will 100% do the night food tour with him next time I am in Hue. Do try the Bun Bo Hue, it’s fantastic!!

    Absolutely amazing!!! The very best thing we’ve done in Vietnam, and one of the best tours I’ve ever done around the world. Thom is an amazing guide, so knowledgeable and so kind. We were lucky enough to get a private tour being the only ones who booked in. He took us to such great spots we never would have found on our own - the food was incredible! It was so great to get the history and culture behind the food as well. We loved the visit to Dong Ba market and trying all sorts of different fruits. As someone who struggles in the heat, I was especially grateful of the care he and the cyclo drivers went to to keep us in the shade and seat us near fans. Can’t recommend this tour enough, it will be the highlight of our trip.

    We booked Thom for a half-day evening food tour and could not have been happier. I've done two other food tours in Vietnam (Hanoi & Saigon) and this was was far and away the best. We ate a variety of foods that were unique but nothing too adventurous, and everything was delicious and we didn't walk home feeling like we over ate. Thom paid particular attention to my two kids (6 & 8) making sure they received items that fit their particular needs. And touring the city by Cyclo was a great and relaxing way to see the surroundings. Highly recommend Hue Flavor!

    Thom is a legend! His knowledge of cuisine, culture, history and Vietnam in general make his thoughtfully curated tour truly special and memorable. The food is authentic and delicious. Thom provides descriptions about the history and traditional preparation of each individual dish, and thoroughly answers additional questions. Very highly recommend this tasting tour to anyone spending time in Hue. Thanks Thom!

    This street food tour is amazing!! In 4 hours Thom opened the doors of Hue’s (and Vietnam’s) food secrets to us! A varied selection of foods from places that we would have never found by ourselves. Very concerned about hygiene he gave us advice about what is safe to eat/drink and what isn’t! We also made a stop at the market where he bought some exotic fruit that we tried later. He is super approachable and takes time to explain the origin of dishes, differences between north and south Vietnam and of course to taste it!

    We are very happy we did it and we would at 100% recommend it!

    A really good experience! Thom is a great guy and a knowledgeable guide. The structure of the tour was really good. We got to taste lots of great food and there was enough time between the different dishes to feel ready for the next one. I also really liked stopping by the market to see all the ingredients used for the local cooking and to be able to ask questions about all the things I have been wondering when I have visited markets without a guide. If you’re in town and have the time I would highly recommend this tour!

    We are a family of 4 (2 adults, a 15 year old & 11 year old). I can’t recommend this highly enough. Amazing food, wonderful detailed knowledge from Thom but also very approachable. Cyclo drivers were lovely and it was such fun to get around the city in this way. Easy to book and very good value. We loved it. Thank you Thom.
