Top Hoi An Cooking Classes

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!

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 recently went on a solo trip to Hoi An and was so glad I did this walking food tour. It was worth waking up early to learn about the people and their lives. It was such an eye opening experience to see how hard the folks work and how fresh all the food is. I was the only person signed up, so it ended up being a private tour which was awesome. We started with a much needed cup of strong Vietnamese coffee at a local home - something I've seen from the streets, but would never have the knowledge to go in and order. We tasted freshly sprouted bean sprouts, saw the production of fresh Cao Lau noodles, walked the local market and sampled fresh fruit, food stalls, banh Mi sandwiches, soup noodles, dessert and more coffee. It was truly a large sampling of different local foods. I loved sitting in the market and eating with the locals. It was all made possible by my wonderful guide, Ms. Kim. She was the ultimate Gem - she knew all the people, knew how to tell stories, knew how to navigate. I cannot say enough how safe and special it felt to walk around with someone who was so familiar with the city and the people. At one point, we walked into a home where the host wasn't there and picked a few banana wrapped desserts to eat because she knew. I would highly recommend this tour if you have time. Plan it early in your trip...it's a great way to see the real lives of locals. It was well worth the early morning wake up call and if you can, please ask for Ms. Kim. She had the cutest proper British accent from spending some time abroad. Most importantly, you can feel how much she enjoy sharing her city with guests from afar.

This tour was amazing 😻 specially the tour guide name Dan !!! She was awesome with us, very engaging and knowledgeable about everything related to the tour. Blue mountains are beautiful but Hoi an definitely my favorite one. That ancient city is like to be in a set of an Asian movie, very colorful. It’s feels like you want have a photo in every corner , chanel or the shops. At night they turn on the lights around and jumping into the canoe on the river with your own candle wuaooo it’s magical. I recommend this tour for the professionalism and the beauty involved. One more time Dan the tour guide she is adorable. Thanks

YES CHEF! Tram was an amazing person to do this tour with, very lovely experience. I would highly recommend this tour, she is very enthusiastic, knowledgeable about the Vietnamese foods that we made and has many years of experience! Every dime spent on this tour is worth your time!!! Our day started off at the local markets where we picked out ingredients for the dishes we were going to cook down later the day, she told us the purpose and intention behind each ingredient, it was a very thrilling and educational experience. Next, we took a car ride and then visited her place & did the coconut boat ride. The ride was very fun, with friendly boat staff that took us around the river. We then went back, took a break and started our cooking class! The cooking class was very fun, engaging & Tram was very fun to communicate and talk with! At the end, we had the food we ate, along with some cheap paid drinks (beer/soft drinks). Overall a great experience, and would definitely come back to do something like this next time I am back in Vietnam.

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.

Absolutely amazing experience! One of my favorite things I’ve done in Hoi An. The family who runs the business and teaches you are so kind and knowledgeable. They made us laugh the whole time and their expertise shows in every detail. Cannot recommend enough!!

Very interesting day out on the morning half day tour to My Son. Our guide Dung was very friendly, informative and took care of our group. The included lunch was simple but nice. My son sanctuary area gets very hot so make sure you prepare. We had fans with us that we were grateful for. We found the half day option enough as we are not super passionate about ruins.
