Wear comfortable shoes and Make sure you are hungry because there is so much food. Our guide Will was amazing - extremely knowledgeable and spoke English beautifully. Can’t recommend this tour enough.

Vietnamese Coffee & Culture Exploration in Hồ Chí Minh City

Sophronia_C, Jul 2026

We learned about the...

We learned about the history of coffee in Vietnam and totally did not realize Vietnam is the second biggest exporter of coffee beans after Brazil in the world. We also learned about the different types of beans and how to use our senses to enjoy coffee. Our instructor taught us to make drip coffee and Phin coffee and how beans are roasted step by step. I highly recommend this course. It was 2.5 hours but it did not feel long. I had some basic knowledge of drip coffee but even then, I learned so much from the course. Lacaph is also the best cafe in HCM we had tried (please try their salt coffee!), we went there three times in our trip and bought their own Phin filter and beans back home.

Make Your Own Gin Experience and Saigon Baigur Distillery Tour

Susan_K, Jun 2026

Great Lesson In Gin Making

Kevin is the host and he is friendly, humorous and very knowledgeable about gin making and botanicals. The venue is beautiful and it’s interesting to be at the distillery and to hear how the business developed. The gin making room is modern with some retro features and everything is set up for you. You are guided through the process and have the opportunity to ask questions as you create your own gin. The lesson runs at a nice pace and is not rushed. I’d suggest you eat breakfast because there are cocktails to be drunk and different gins to sample. All very tasty and different. The packaging of the products is beautiful and it’s very satisfying to take home your own gin. A great afternoon - thank you, Kevin.❤️

Unique farm to Table cooking class in Saigon

Janet_L, Apr 2026

Great class - different from expected

The experience overall was lovely and I truly enjoyed the class and the instructor. The farm setting was beautiful and the cooking itself was a highlight of my trip. However, I wanted to provide feedback on a few aspects that would be especially important for solo travelers. First, I was the only participant in the class. While the one-on-one experience was still enjoyable, I had expected a small group setting and would have appreciated knowing this in advance so I could make an informed decision. It would be very helpful if there were some type of visibility or participant count available at booking so guests can better understand whether the experience will be private or group-based. Second, the return transportation could be improved. At the end of the class, I was placed in a Grab (Uber-type) ride for a 90-minute trip back to the city, but it was arranged on my behalf, so I did not have access to tracking or driver details through the app. As a solo traveler in a rural area, this created a moment of discomfort due to the lack of visibility and communication. I would suggest that future guests be informed if a class is private and that return transportation either be booked directly through the guest’s own app or that clear driver and tracking details be provided in advance so guests can feel fully comfortable and secure.

Egg Coffee Making Class

This was a great experience. We had never heard of egg coffee before coming to Vietnam, and this experience enabled us to learn more about the history of how this drink came to be. The fact we got to make this ourselves was fantastic, and is definitely something we shall be recreating at home!

Wonderful experience!

So glad we booked this service! It was so easy to find our driver with our name on a large sign. The taxi situation looked crazy and I’m glad we didn’t have to deal with it after already waiting a long time to clear passport control. I would highly recommend!

He was a good teacher as well, as he showed us how to make 3 unique dishes, and we got to eat it!!!! Bring your appetite, you make a lot of food! So fun, I would definitely recommend it. Thanks Levi for a great experience!

Loved Thao’s amazing cooking class!

I can’t say enough good things about this cooking class! It was an incredible experience — 100% hands-on from start to finish. We cooked and then enjoyed a phenomenal meal with heaps of delicious food, and had such fun cooking in the garden with Thao (I hope I spelled that right!). Thao was a wonderful host and instructor — passionate, knowledgeable, and eager to share her love of Vietnamese cooking. We’d go again tomorrow if we could and have absolutely no reservations about highly recommending Thao’s cooking class to everyone!

Well worth your time

Both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our coffee experience with Quan. We liked the coffees so much that we bought the coffee and Phinn to make at home. Everything was reasonably priced. The instructions they give you are excellent. The experience is very hands on, you get to do everything!
