Tour description

Dong Ba is a very big and famous market in Hue. There is a story behind the formation of this market. After 200 years, its name has turned into poems and lyrical songs, and now Dong Ba Market is one of the must-see places for tourists.
The market could be regarded as a descending shade where we can find the best food from Bun Hen to Bun Bo Hue or rice cakes etc.,

In this tour, I would like to guide you through the labyrinth inside the market to understand more about life and enjoy the local flavor with the most popular dishes.

Please note that you will pay for what you eat on this tour!!!


The tour ends after 1:45 hours of walking.

We really enjoyed meeting Thanh and walking through the market with her. She has a great personality and is very enthusiastic and willing to help. We really didn’t know what to expect from this tour. There were few things we wanted to buy, and Thanh did a great job finding them and making sure we pay the right price. It was really fun to see all the incredible variety of foods and other products being sold, and we learned few things that she pointed out and showed to us. At the end she picked a great place at the market to sample some delicious food and sweets.

It's honestly the perfect opportunity to experience the local cuisine. I'm veggie and have allergies but Thanh made sure to visit places in the market, where I could try a lot of stuff. You really feel like she knows the place and at the end she gave me a lot of reccomendations, which are really helpful when you just arrived in Hué. In my opinion this tour is the perfect way to start exploring Hué and to get to know an honest local who will try to answer all of your questions :) Thanks Thanh!

Interesting. Would be nice if she had arrangements with the sellers so we could try many products during the tour.

Thanh is wonderful. Kind and charming and full of information. She is open to letting you try anything and helping you figure out what things are. She knows a lot about the market, about Hue, and about food. The food was tasty. Then she took us to a hidden coffee shop above the market that was just lovely. Thanh is working on her English and her degree in tourism, so there is lots of good reason to chat as you go.

Es war interessant und Than war sehr, sehr nett. Sie hat guten Kontakt zu uns gehabt. Allerdings fanden wir die Uhrzeit, 9 Uhr sehr früh und wir haben ihr das auch als Rückmeldung gegeben. Sie hat es gut verstanden. Es war sehr schön mit ihr. Am Ende sind wir noch in ein Kaffee zusammen gegangen und auf dem Markt haben wir viele Sachen probiert. Die vielen Früchte und Gewürze waren sehr beeindruckend. Wenn du gerne etwas probierst und mutig bist wirst du viele Möglichkeiten auf dem Markt finden. Wir wünschen unserer lieben Than alles Gute. Sie ist ein lieber Mensch. Sie spricht gut Englisch. Das ist toll!
