5.00Highly recommended! We were extremely happy with the experience. In addition to teaching us how to prepare incredibly delicious dishes, Tam went far beyond what was advertised. He showed us the local area, took us on a boat trip, brought us to the market, and even introduced us to traditional wood carving. Tam also arranged transportation for us, making everything easy and stress-free. Throughout the entire experience, he was cheerful, welcoming, and always smiling. It was much more than just a cooking class - it was a wonderful cultural experience. We will definitely be back soon with our family! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

4.00This excursion was great, but be prepared for motorbike rides! It started a bit slow with a walk through the market. Seeing the raw meat was not my favorite. Then we went by motorbike to a coconut boat. Our guide is still improving his English, so it was a bit hard to understand what was coming next, which made riding off on motorbikes a little unsettling, but we ended up where we needed to go with no issues. A different man, who spoke no English, paddled the coconut boat while our guide stayed behind. He was hysterical, singing, spinning the boat, teaching us to crab. He expected a tip at the end of the boat ride, though, so have some small cash available. After that was a short motorbike ride to the guide's house for the cooking class. This was the smoothest part of the excursion. The guide is clearly a skilled chef, and he was much more confident here. The food was delicious. Drinks can be purchased for cash, so, again, be prepared with some small bills. The excursion ended with a motorbike ride back to town. While the other rides had been fairly leisurely, this one was fast and aggressive as we swerved through rush hour traffic. But the drivers were skillful, and we made it in one piece! Very happy to have chosen this excursion!
Best time!

5.00We had the best time with Tam! From the market tour where he explained all the local things to buy, to the coconut basket rider Yong which had the best smile and humor, to the meticulous cooking class! We really enjoyed all of it. Take this as a sign to book this tour!
