5.00We had a great experience and covered so much during the tour. The basket boat ride had a fantastic atmosphere, and we even had a go at fishing for crabs, which was a lot of fun. The cooking class was enjoyable, with clear instructions throughout, and the food we made was delicious. Hihi was a wonderful tour guide and made the whole experience even better.

5.00What an amazing and authentic experience. Our guide and chef Hi Hi was super engaging and helped us make some of the most flavourful food we have eaten here in Vietnam. This tour is well worth it for the cooking alone however the market visit and the coconut boat ride were added bonuses that added to the overall experience. This is a fantastic experience you should definitely book.
