Fantastic experience, picked up ftom hotel and straight to market to buy some ingredients. Then off to the coracle boat ride, great fun ! We then went ti the kitchen and began our cooking lesson. Our tutor was great with us and spoke really good English. All the dishes selected were eady to cook and great tasting. After the lunch we were taken back to our hotel. Thoroughly recommended way to spend a day and learnt a lot.
Wonderful day, had fun. A good look at the markets of fresh fruit, meat veg. Good bamboo boat ride to a excellent cooking school and food
It was an excellent experience highly recommended the guide Ken is very professional. The best of Hoi an
Had the best time ever on this cooking class and coconut boats. It was so fun. We got picked up early and were driven to a local market where we saw where all the food we will be cooking with was from, it was very interesting to see as it’s completely opposite of my life in England. We had a nice group of just 6 people which was nice, located from all around the world. Our tour guide Ha was sooo nice, she was the nicest woman ever and very funny, Her english was very good too. We went on the coconut boat ride which was fun, the staff were the nicest people with such warm hearts. Everything was perfect. We loved the cooking class- made some of the best food i’ve had in vietnam. A brilliant ending of travelling round vietnam. If you are in Hoi an, definitely do this day trip.
We booked the bamboo boat and cooking class through our accommodations. It was so incredibly worth it. We started out at the morning vegetable market, which we highly recommend. The produce was very fresh. Our guide, Nhung, had already been to the market much earlier in the morning to pick up fresh meat and veggies, and taken them back to the kitchen to refrigerate for food safety. That was a relief as the heat was astounding! The bamboo boat ride was fun and the folks who were our paddlers were hilarious. They were singing, fishing, making coconut palm rings, and really engaging with our group. Then we had the most amazing cooking class with Nhung! "Yes Chef!" We learned a lot, and went home with recipes for everything. This was the best food we've had in the two weeks we've been in Vietnam. "Chefs Kiss!" We were also picked up and returned to our accommodations. I don't think I could really say enough kudos about how much we enjoyed ourselves.
Our group of nine ranged in age from 10 to 70, so it was probably quite the challenge for Wan to keep us all so engaged, educated and entertained, but she was exceptionally skillful in all areas, As well as laughing so hard the whole time, we actually cooked up some of the tastiest food we had while in Vietnam. We all agreed it was one of the best activities of our whole trip.
Such an amazing afternoon! First pick up from hotel was easy to organise. We were with a small group which was nice! Ha was amazing at showing us a local market and local food. Had such a great sense of humour! The big Boss even dropped us back to Old town for more exploring! Would 10/10 recommend when in Hoi An
Our group LOVED this tour! The basket boats through the coconut palms was beautiful and the spinning was super fun! The cooking class was such a special experience and one we'll not soon forget. Book this tour!
We had a great time. Han was a fantastic guide, he was so funny. The market was interesting, the basket boats were great fun but the highlight was the cooking. Han made it fun and we had a great group from France and Australia. Highly recommend
