Start your tour with a 'banh mi' (sandwich), at Madam Khanh’s – the best fusion between French and Vietnamese cuisine.

Then, try out the famous delicate white rose dumplings, found exclusively in Hoi An. Enjoy these delicacies while marvelling at the work that goes into them. The staff churns out up to 6000 of these dumplings every day. Next, experience the famous 'banh xeo Hoi An', which is a cousin of the Saigon crêpe, but smaller (and perhaps even tastier) Here you will also have the opportunity to try cao lau, one of the most refined soups in Vietnam: pork and greens on a bed of rice noodles, made from rice which has been soaked in lye water.

Down a nearby alley, head onward to visit a 250-year-old ancient house. This is your chance to step inside a traditional Hoi An home and see how the locals live (and eat, if you are lucky enough to visit during their dinner time) Stroll around the house, spending time with the host to learn about his life. Before moving onwards, visit his workshop, where his skilful hands spend hours creating sophisticated and creative silver jewellery.

Finally, rap up your tour with a sweet note with a local speciality, green bean cake, and enjoy a local Vietnamese coffee – the perfect ending to any meal.
