Top Hoi An Cooking Classes

An absolutely superb day, discovering the countryside around Hoi An, as close as possible to the inhabitants and their expertise. We had the chance to discover several local traditions: rice noodle making, incense crafting, a weaving workshop, as well as various visits that allowed us to better understand the life and traditions of this region. But what really made this day exceptional was our guide, Quyen. A passionate guide, very dedicated, generous with her explanations, and who truly works with her heart. Thanks to her, we experienced a true immersion into local life, far beyond a simple tourist excursion. Thank you Quyen for this magnificent day that we will not forget We did this excursion as a family, with our two children, who also loved this discovery and will keep very beautiful memories of it. If you come to Hoi An, we recommend this excursion +++: you will return with your head full of discoveries and, above all, filled with happy memories ❤️

Such a fun experience and one of our favorite activities in Hoi An! You get to make and try 5 different types of Vietnamese coffee, and we had a great time throughout the whole class - lots of fun music and great vibes in the room. Our instructors, including “Justin Bieber” and “Bruno Mars,” were awesome and brought the perfect energy. They kept things fun while also teaching us about the history of Vietnamese coffee and the ethical practices behind the business. The team was also super accommodating to our dietary restrictions (my wife is gluten-free and vegetarian, and I am allergic to cashews and pistachios) and also ensured that non-dairy options were available as we created the different coffees. The facility was very clean and hygienic, with staff constantly bringing us new materials and ingredients for each recipe. It’s a wonderful family-run business and was the perfect activity while we waited to pick up our clothes from the Cloth Market. Would absolutely recommend adding this to your Hoi An itinerary!

Family-run, very friendly, caters to requests. Normal price at approx. 6€ per boat. Received a drink. quiet ride with explanations, crab fishing, also passed by the karaoke, where especially tourists can party. Best by car and then walk the rest of the way, as it is in a small alley. Found the provider through a German TV show that we happened to see before our trip. The owner was very happy about German guests. She also speaks some English. Recommended for families with children.

One of the (of probably the) most amazing experience we have had in Vietnam! From the early morning market to the boat trip to grandma’s kitchen on the river Island, everything was amazing. Thuum (Thom) and het family are fabulous hosts! Friendly, knowledgeable and of course great cooks (and instructors). We have learned a lot, had great fun doing karaoke on the boat and the meal was so tasty! Would definitely book again if I had the chance!

I booked it because it was the cheapest tour of the Meathong ruins. Visiting the Mỹ Sơn ruins, watching traditional dances, and a boat trip over Banh Mỹ are all very satisfying half-day experiences. I think it's very cost effective to have this experience at this price. The tour guide was also Frank and we had a great time with those who joined us.

Choose the style and size as well as a large selection of colors and fabric designs. Bamboo frame from start to finish with all the materials needed. Help is also available to give instructions & trim up. Left not only with a unique lantern but were gifted with a paper floating candle for the river as well! Friendly staff!

This was the first activity I booked for my trip and the first one I did when I arrived. Ho picked us up right on time and showed us around the market, which was very interesting as someone who buys everything in a grocery store in Houston, TX. Once we got to the cooking school we met Vina, the chef, who is absolutely charming and very good at what she does. We had the class to ourselves and got tons of attention and personal detail. She gave my husband nicknames which I can’t wait to use later to tease him with. We made fresh shrimp spring rolls, banh xio, lemongrass chicken (my favorite), and clay pot pork (my husbands favorite). I would definitely recommend this class and can’t wait to try these recipes when I get home!

Fantastic experience from start to end. Our chef teacher explained us the different methods and taught us how to prepare various types of traditional Vietnamese food. Would highly recommend. The market visit was also informative because we learner how various herbs are harvested and prepared. They also adjusted our menu to cater for vegetarian diet.
