5.00Great time at the market experience and cooking class in Hoi An. Ling, aka Hi Hi, was lovely and was happy to tell us all about the Vietnamese vegetables available in the market we weren’t familiar with. Food was delicious and plentiful. Two things we thought might improve the experience would be an option without the coconut boats and also that you sit at communal tables whilst enjoying the food as it felt strange to be seated sometimes with your group.
A special cooking experience

5.00My partner and I had the best experience here at Hoi An Tropical Cooking tour. Our tour guide Hai Hai was very friendly, knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. We enjoyed watching him showing us how to prepare the ingredients and take turn to cook the food by ourselves. The entire experience was truly amazing and memorable.
Absolute must in Vietnam
