The best tour we had in Vietnam!

Mariia_K, Jul 2024

It was very fun and we learned a lot! Our guide Ku was knowledgeable and with a good sense of humor. The whole tour was organized with love!

Amazing cooking experience Hoi An

Paul_C, Jun 2024

Absolutely loved this tour with Oanh, what a super day of experience and cooking together. Firstly we went to the local market, where she explained the different types of fruit and vegetables and even got us to try some unique ones. Moving on to the coconut village and crab fishing out of basket boats, this was hilarious but I won't ruin the suprise!! The cooking class itself was by far the highlight, we cooked 4 dishes including the Hoi An famous Cao lầu, which was super tasty!

Fun cooking class and market experience

Kimberly_c, Apr 2024

The market and cooking class are so much fun and the best part of this tour. We loved our guide. The boat ride was nice but not the highlight of this trip
