Learnt new culinary skills from Hai

5.00We booked this tour primarily for the cooking class. Our experience exceeded expectations. Hai was an amazing teacher. My wife and I learnt so many new skills from the choice and balance of key ingredients; the use of chopsticks to prepare and cook dishes; and rice paper roll wrapping ( Hai introduced two subtle techniques that make a huge difference). The basket boat tour was also good. I had the opportunity to board a small fishing boat and learn to cast a met by hand. I much preferred this than the spinning basket boat as I get dizzy very easily. Preceding all of this was the fresh food market where we met Hai. He selected the ingredients that we were going to use and in the process taught us about lemongrass, green lemons and morning glory to name a few. An excellent tour made even better with Hai as our head chef.
So so good! Recommend!

5.00We found the tour through our hotel and it caught our eye because it also included going to the market itself, to buy the ingredients. It is a perfectly organised tour with free pick up and dropped at your hotel, with great communication. We got a look into the local markets followed by the famous coconut boats, which were great fun. It is a very well organised, great value for money tour, with lots of food and a great guide/chef explaining everything in a kind and funny way.

5.00Great experience, and great price for what you do! It went for 4 hours and we did the afternoon session. Small group made it more accommodating and easier to work with. The tour guide and chef was very helpful and easy going.

5.00We have been in Vietnam for almost 10 days and this has been one of our best experiences to date; we are a party of 8 ; 4 adults, 4 10-14 year olds. From hotel pick up to fruit dessert, the host and experience were amazing! Informative trip to the local market to pick out our veggies, then a boat trip down the river, to a very clean restaurant with very attentive staff. Very patient chef with distracted teens made the entire experience pleasurable for all! Totally affordable and would recommend for couples and families…10/10!!!!
It was a good cooking trip well worth the money and time spent with Hi.
