Wow! Our market tour and...

vmdang3, Dec 2025

Wow! Our market tour and cooking class was the highlight of our time in Hanoi. Our guide Bella had a great sense of humor and kept the class fun and engaging while we learned new techniques and recipes. They also provide a full set of recipes after the class and let us take home leftovers. This class felt like a very authentic way to learn more about the food and culture. Compared to other activities it is a bit more expensive, but it includes a very large meal and will be a lasting memory from our trip.

Great Experience learning how to cook Vietnamese food.

It was raining, so the last minute we decided to do a cooking class. Our teacher was May. She was great and we had lots of fun cooking Vietnamese food. We even got to take a recipe book home.
