    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
