Had a lot of fun on this trip with our guide Anh. It started with a trip through the local market to pick up some extra supplies as I was vegetarian. The basket boat ride was a lot of fun and a great experience. We even went fishing for crabs. The cooking class was excellent! By far the best food I’ve eaten in Vietnam. We even got a recipe book at the end of the class. I would definitely do another. The tour was well worth it and very well priced!

This cooking class is definitely worth attending in Hoi An. We cooked 5 delicious dishes from scratch and everyone in the group is fully involved in the process. Our teacher was really entertaining and had great English. They were super accommodating for dietary requirement eg vegetarian / gluten free that were in our group. There was no time pressure to leave after we had finished cooking and we were able to enjoy our meal and chat as a group. The girls were great for taking photos of everything too. It was a brilliant experience and one of the highlights of our time in Hoi An. We opted in for collect and drop off from our hotel which was super convenient and good value too.

FUN fun fun

Great day,great tour and lots of fun. We were taken to a market out of Hoi An and shown around and picked up groceries for lunch. We then headed to the bamboo boats and that was an hilarious fun experience. Then on to the cooking class,again lots of fun and what a great lunch we had. The guide Ha was absolutely fantastic and very caring and professional. Must do 10 out of 10 experience. Thankyou.

Great tour, we got picked up from our hotel and went to the local markets to see what we’d be cooking later on. The boats were very fun and the cooking class was delicious and the guide and her staff were excellent. Would definitely recommend if you want a fun and informative day out!

Amazing cooking class with amazing guide

We loved the cooking class. Han was a perfect guide and gave us lots of information about the Vietnamese cuisine and typical ingredients you can get at the market. We had lots of fun and learned a lot! :)

Booked and payed for tour. The night before they canceled the tour. The excuse was, we no longer offer this tour. Why is it still advertised?

Very enjoyable - a great way to heighten Hoi An experience

Alister_C, Apr 2024

Really enjoyable morning, we visited the local market to collect ingredients. We then went on the coconut boats through the mangroves and watched the guide fish for crabs. We then returned for the main event and cooked some traditional Vietnamese dishes which were amazing. Thoroughly recommend

It was super fun and we learned a lot! They were also really flexible and easy to communicate with :)

My favourite tour experience in Vietnam!

Thomas_H, Mar 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed this trip. We got to try lots of fruits and foods I'd never heard of in the market like a local thanks to our tour guide. He explained in very good English what each of them were and made us feel very welcome and safe in the markets. We then went to a serene bit of river to do some fishing with some locals. The fishermen were so much fun and we were laughing the entire time. Afterwards we had a cooking tour hosted at the hosts house with his relative. She showed us traditional cooking methods and got us all joining in. We managed to make a flavourful banquet under guidance. The whole experience was great from start to finish and I would recommend!

Informative and funny guide!

Our guide was amazing. Informative and funny. It was a nice extra touch taking the boat ride. Catching crabs was also fun.

Great half day trip! Highly recommended

Nice Tour

Susanne H, Sep 2019

I had a lot of fun. Ms Spring was a pleasant guide. Always smiling and open for questions. Like I already wrote, the tour was a Lot of fun, but the basket boat ride would have been a but langer.

Experiência incrível, vale muito a pena.

Tivemos um dia muito especial, com muita alegria e aprendizados culturais. Os guias falam muito bem o inglês e são muito divertidos. Passeio ótimo para família e também para solteiros.
