As well as that, you’ll ride a bamboo boat through beautiful Cam Thanh village, shop fresh produce at a local market, and prepare a Vietnamese feast.

Great half day cultural experience in Hanoi

Carlie_T, Jul 2025

Our guide was friendly and helpful. The activities were interesting and each one was a good amount of time. It was good value

Cooking class is fun and educational.

Jenny_R, May 2025

The cooking class is really fun, Ly is sweet and gave us good information. The coconut boats were a little disappointing, not sure that I would do that part again - it goes on water underneath an overpass.

Cooking tour

Very fast paced with 3 activities rolled into the tour. Loved the food market and the basket boat was fun, but I felt the cooking class was rushed

It was a nice tour to get...

Liisa_K, Jan 2025

It was a nice tour to get to do many things in one day: market, boats, lantern making and cooking. The food was delicious that we made and the group was nice and small. Our guide Huong (I think I misspelled the name) was super accommodating to everyone's dietary restrictions and gave clear instructions to the cooking. If you're looking to really cook and learn that more in detail (and are already good at cooking) I would recommend maybe a private workshop that only focuses on cooking. But this is good for tourist purposes!

Great day out

Metaxoulla_C, Apr 2024

Great little day trip. Trang was super friendly and knowledgable and ensured we were given just the right amount of support throughout the class. The only drawback was our driver on the coconut boats. He kept trying to pressure us into paying to go on the spinning ones despite us saying numerous times we didn’t want to. Other than that, we had an amazing day out and were absolutely stuffed now!
