The cyclo ride...

Angela_B, Mar 2026

The cyclo ride sightseeing before the cooking part was great fun. Remember to bring a hat! Our guide Camellia was amazing and so accommodating. Her English was excellent. Our chef Dung was very knowledgeable and a great teacher. The cooking experience was so much fun and easy to follow. Very highly recommend.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Xin chào Angela! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cyclo sightseeing ride and the cooking class experience — it truly is a fun way to discover the flavors of Vietnamese cuisine. And yes, a hat is definitely a good tip in our sunny Sai Gon weather! A special thank you for your kind words about Camellia (My) and Chef Dung. They will be very happy to know you appreciated their guidance, knowledge, and the care they took to make the class enjoyable and easy to follow. We truly appreciate your recommendation. Please feel free to share your experience with your family and friends — we’d love to welcome them for their own delicious adventure in Viet Nam! Warm regards, Asiana Link Team
