Very nice time! The views were amazing. Diem was very kind and she guided us everywhere and helped translate. Seeing where all the organic food comes from was so great? Eating it was even better! Some of the sweetest mushrooms I have ever had, and the fish was like fireworks in my mouth! What a wonderful experience!
Great experience with Diem and Khoe today .Rode on Vespas everywhere . Safety was obviously important to them as we rode around. Explored duck farm and organic vegetable farms in the country .Experienced the culture including assisted with watering technique. Finished with amazing cooking class from organic farm with Thang. She was patient , and helpful and had excellent recipes . Wonderful authentic intro to an amazing country . Highly recommended.
I was with Diem and Khoe. They took my friend and I on motorbikes to the country where we saw farms and buffaloes. Our cooking class with Thang was amazing!
Amazing experience, very nice trip and lovely people
Our Vespa trip with Hanni and Phuoc was amazing. We saw local countryside, the centre of Hoi An and markets and tried local coffee’s. The woodcarving was an unexpected addition and a lot of fun. Our guides/drivers were exceptional and made the trip for us. The cooking with V was informative and the food we created was delicious. We would highly recommend this trip. Thank you again Hanni, Phuoc and V.
We had an amazing experience with Bao and Huong. Bao speaks English on a very good way! He is very enthusiastic and gives the exact amount of information. They both are good drivers and give you the comfort you need. The cooking class was very early for us but the food was great so we didn't mind. They also took some pictures which was great.
Quang and Xoa collected us at 9am from our hotel on their cool Vespas, and drove us around the country lanes explaining the history of this beautiful place. They then brought us to a fabulous local food market and talked us through all the fresh produce, before our coffee break- salt coffee (my absolute favourite) and coconut coffee (my daughters favourite) in a relaxing coffee shop beside the rice fields. They were warm and kind and friendly and we learned a lot about the history, culture and customs of the lovely people in this area. Then for the cookery school where Vy welcomed us so warmly, and showed us how to cook the most delicious Vietnamese recipes which we then ate very happily! Vy is an amazing professional and the cookery class was so special, and lots of fun, in a really beautiful peaceful setting. I highly recommend this experience, a half day all in all, especially if you don't have much time here and want to see the best of everything- food, scenery and culture, helped by lovely people- thanks so much to Vy, Quang and Xao😊😊
QUAN and his team were brilliant and safe and interesting and DELICIOUS.
We had an entertaining and interesting Jeep tour with our excellent guide Bảo and his attentive drivers Van and Tam. We visited several villages learned about making rice wine and rice pancakes we "helped" to weave a bed mat and hand carved a momento of our trip. A great day capped off with a delicious lunch.
Thomas was amazing! So informative and explained everything so well. It was a great tour for us all, included all the activities that we would have wanted to do. The bonus cooking class was awesome. Would totally recommend. Thanks Thomas and our lovely driver also!
