Our family had the most incredible experience with the cooking class and tour of the farm. Van (the owner of the restaurant) and her family shared with us the culture and community of their farm to table Resturant. We made the most incredible traditional Vietnamese food. 10/10 would recommend going supporting local businesses and immersing yourself in the culture of local Vietnamese people.

We had a wonderful private trip, just the two of us. The communication before the tour was perfect and the pick up to the ship was punctual and reliable. Our guide gave us valuable insights into the country and its history. We also enjoyed some really delicious local food. Besides, we had so much fun together!

Tasty food and beautiful garden. Really interesting to see how the wonderful fresh food is grown locally. Warmly recommend!!!
Spacious, airy, suitable for relaxing and have many things to experience such as biking, growing vegetables and preparing lunch with the locals. It's very wonderful if you visit this village in the early morning. Worth a visit!
