Q
Helpful staff
The Price is good and the staff very friedly, but the conditions resulting from the proximity of the river are rather concerning. Pick up worked perfectly

Fun whilst you cook! Surprise chef experience!
The cooking class was fun, the girls were great organising the lift to, and from- where we cooked the 3 dishes, loved the prawn/chicken spring onions spring rolls, banana flower salad salad, and the chicken stir fry, dish was amazing, I needed more spice, maybe a little lime juice too.! We were so full after eating our dishes. The aircon room was a bonus to eat in. The fun began after too, in our coconut boat ride, laughter & songs, a great crew man we definitely enjoyed our trip would highly recommend!

Fun cooking with a touristic boat ride.
The coconut boats where fun, but really bussy and touristic. I did expect it, but not this much. The cooking was really fun. Thuy gave clear instructions. The food tasted good and we heard multiple say they are gone try to make it at home. It was 1.250.000 dong total (including non included drinks) for 2 people.
